Verdict
Skallywag Bay won on Polytrack last year but her form on Turf has left a little to be desired and Raven's Applause is more interesting in first-time cheekpieces. A winner at Sligo back in August, In The Giving was second on her first two runs for William Haggas but ran a shocker when odds-on in a Leicester claimer latest. Big R has been threatening to get his head in front, however, while there should be more to come from BERKSHIRE CRUZ. The latter is a full brother to the very speedy Margot Did and makes his handicap and Turf debut following wind surgery on a potentially-lenient mark.
