Brian Ellison has his string in tremendous form and ODIN'S RAVEN is taken to follow up his recent C&D win. The ex-Irish gelding took his time to get off the mark but looked to have a bit in hand when beating a much higher-rated rival in a maiden here last time and is potentially well handicapped. Stanley Rigby also registered his first win when scoring at this track recently but this is tougher, while Jasmin Rai and Dispol Diva will need to step up on their placed efforts here to figure in this contest.
