Verdict

Ravenhoe makes a quick reappearance after finding one too good at Leicester last week and can race off the same mark. Celtic Artisan won at Wolverhampton in March but has yet to win on Turf in 11 attempts while Stanley has struggled since scoring at Nottingham in October. Gambit could bounce back at any time having slid down the weights but the same can be said of TRINITY STAR. The latter pair failed to figure in the same race here last month but Michael Dods' charge won this off a higher mark in 2015 and gets a speculative vote to come good again.
