LUCKY RAVE can come out on top here over the likes of Il Forno and Listillo. The selection ran his best race yet in a maiden at Carlisle, and although he was no match for the winner Ask Frank that day, he could be capable of landing a small race like this. Il Forno wasn't beaten far at Nottingham last time when he chased home Danny's Choice and he does possess plenty of speed, so it remains to be seen whether today's slightly longer trip will suit. Listillo showed a good attitude when he chased home Dixie Bright over this course and distance last month. If he can build on that then he is another who should be capable of taking a hand in the finish. Rebecca Romero has the plum draw but she was beaten out of sight last time. A better alternative could be Agent Boo who should appreciate this slightly longer trip and the yard are in sparkling form. This is a trappy affair and the vote goes to Lucky Rave.
