      Verdict

      Ravenscar has proved a revelation since racing at Southwell, completing a hat-trick with a hard-fought victory over 1m6f there last month for which he's up 3lb. The Rutland Rebel completed a double at Wolverhampton but looked a few pounds high when attempting a hat-trick there. THAI TERRIER had been in good form before tackling a Class 3 handicap at Kempton where he finished a long way last. He's better than that and holds Tynecastle Park on an earlier victory while Arabescato scored over 2m at Lingfield in February and wasn't at his best on his first start for new connections at Wolverhampton.
