Verdict

Roar is an interesting runner in this having won over hurdles since last seen on the Flat but Master Milliner needs forgiving a poor run in a higher grade at Salisbury last month when on a four-timer. Third in the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle four weeks ago, RAVENS ARK shapes as though he’ll stay this longer trip and may be more progressive than most of these. The penalised Salisbury winner Snowalot might be the pick of the remainder ahead of strong stayer Tynecastle Park and the luckless Dancing Harry
