Form & Verdict
By Raven's Pass out of a Listed-placed 7f/1m AW winner (RPR 100) from a very smart family; second favourite for seven-runner novice at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) nine days ago and weakened only late on when fourth behind the odds-on winner; with improvement likely, she's one to consider.

Made all in a slowly run four-runner Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) in February, but her three efforts since, including heavy defeats in her last two outings, suggest she has plenty to find; another 3lb drop and the fitting of blinkers has to make a big difference.

J: P J McDonald

Has form figures of 2223 but he's not progressed so far and was a remote third in a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) last month; still unexposed but he needs improvement back up in trip on handicap debut.

Vulnerable if bumping into anything useful and he may not be entirely straightforward, but he finished second in February/March on his first three starts (7f/1m, AW) and there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Ran badly on second outing but showed fair form on starts either side to be placed over 7f here and at Southwell; those better efforts make him the form pick.

Lacks consistency but has won his last two starts here, having beaten Wish This over C&D off 3lb lower five weeks ago; claims on that but no guarantee he'll repeat the effort and this is a bit tougher.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Bryan Smart

Just did enough to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, his 17th start, and also ran well when third behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month, having made a big forward move in the early stages; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he can make his presence felt.
