Ravenhoe embarks upon his 19th start of 2018 but previous runs have yielded four victories, including a first career success for Oliver Stammers back in February. The combination added another win later that month and should be competitive here once again. It's tempting to row in with Mark Johnston's tough campaigner and he seems sure to go well but TOP BEAK is down to what looks a very competitive mark and should go close if repeating the level of his latest run when fifth at Sandown in better company - Paddy Bradley claims a handy 5lb. Full Suit is a possible improver after a light career to date - just six runs in three seasons - and the consistent Let Me In houses each-way claims.
