Verdict

This looks wide open but the tentative vote goes to Ravarino with Gold Prospect and Pivotal Answer the main dangers. The selection caught the eye when finishing second on both her last two starts and there looked to be further improvement still to come on the evidence of her latest outing. If able to capitalize on that she should break her maiden tag this time around. Gold Prospect comes from a yard in form and ran with credit when second to Guiseppe Verdi at Kempton last time out. He looks like another improver so is worth noting in the market. As is Pivitol Answer who has only one run under her belt and ran well to finish third of ten at Nottingham so is entitled to come on for the run. But in a tricky contest we will side with Ravarino to get his head in front.
