Verdict

RAVENSCAR arrives in fine form having struck at Newcastle in November and going in again over track and trip last week. She looks worth sticking with in her current frame of mind despite the worse terms with Severus Alexander. The latter finished runner-up behind the selection on his return to the level while Gold Desert has won twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat and can also figure if carrying over that improvement. Tyrell and Beach Break haven’t won on the Flat for some time now while Sea Of Mystery finished a long way behind the selection.
