        In depth

        Verdict

        Raven's Corner ended last season winning two minor handicaps here and found himself out of his depth on his reappearance in a Grade 3. This is more his class but RODAINI can take this for Simon Crisford. Five times a winner from 10 starts on Turf, he was making his debut on an artificial surface when a very good third behind the classy Kimbear over a mile a fortnight ago where he made the running until caught approaching the final furlong. Claim The Roses hails from a yard that can do little wrong and was impressive when beating Sea Skimmer a week ago and his stable companion Yalta is likely to make the early pace, though has never raced over this trip. Drafted deserves a crack at this higher-class handicap after a very smooth victory over a furlong shorter a month ago.
