Odin's Raven made a big improvement on his debut effort to finish third at Fakenham last month and looks to have every chance, while Strathcal is similar in that he also showed good progress last time when staying on well for a place at Market Rasen. However, slight preference goes to REAR ADMIRAL. He showed little in a couple of starts in bumpers in February, but did well to finish third behind Ballybriggan on his recent hurdling debut as he didn't get the clearest of runs. With improvement expected, Mick Easterby's charge gets the nod. Think Green may prove best of the rest.
