Personal Opinion has now won twice on the Polytrack after making a winning return over 1m4 at Wolverhampton. He's upped 7lb for that while the handicapper has taken no chances with Arab Dawn raising him 9lb for scoring at Goodwood earlier this month. Hooded steps up in distance for his reappearance having won at Lingfield in November while Mannaro made a winning start at Yarmouth last year but was tailed off on his return. RAVEN RIDGE ran fresh on his seasonal debut at Newmarket and finished a one-paced fourth. He's crying out for this longer trip and Michael Bell's colt gets the nod dropped in class.
