    Verdict

    Ravenscraig Castle won over 1m3f at Carlisle on his handicap debut. He can figure again in this tougher contest but GREENGAGE makes more appeal. The latter failed to see out the 2m trip at York a couple of days ago but included a couple of course and distance wins when notching five victories earlier in the year and can confirm running with subsequent winner Red Missile. The latter was due to run at Musselburgh yesterday but Fandabidozi and Clifftop Heaven filled the places at Doncaster last month with the former preferred.
