AVENTINUS was beaten only nose at Kempton when stepped up to today’s trip. That looks the strongest form on offer and he gets the vote to open his account. Woodukheleyfit passed the post first at Wolverhampton but was disqualified for hampering a rival while Pantera Negra showed some ability when third at Doncaster last month. Geneva Convention is a likely improver having finished ahead of Dewan at Salisbury on his debut while Ravenoak is a half-brother to five winners including the useful Coup De Ville and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
