Marcano, yet to prove effective over this trip, will contend if staying whilst Rum Swizzle will receive excellent assistance from the saddle and enjoy the return to the level after an abortive first run over hurdles when last seen. Duke Of Yorkshire was tailed off on reappearance but should do better now whilst last-time scorer Black Dave also commands respect. RAVENHOE is a typically hardworking member of the Johnston yard and although his form can be considered erratic, he's every chance if in the form which saw him oblige on quick ground at Pontefract last month. A mark of 72 is acceptable.
