RAVELOE, only beaten a head on her debut at Worcester, is the probably the form pick on her subsequent third at Stratford despite failing to justify favouritism. Simply Blessed is more exposed than her rivals but has shown enough ability to make the frame. Make My Heart Fly, second at Newton Abbot in August, and Perth fourth Athy River are open to improvement while Sports Day is surely better than she showed at Bangor in May. Mistress Massini will need to show more than she did in a point-to-point in March to figure.
