Pondering and Zamalight head the weights for Olly Murphy but there are question marks against both and a watching brief is advised unless the market strongly suggests otherwise. Kilbaha Lady showed improved form the last day to oblige over course and distance and a repeat performance would see her on the premises again, whilst Iconic Belle is a consistent filly who runs her race more often than not. Channel Packet is inconsistent but RAVENHOE ran a respectable race when fourth at Brighton just two days ago and should do so again. He appears to thrive on his remarkably busy schedule and has already visited the winner's enclosure twice this year with today's pilot aboard. They're a good team and should go well again.
