      Verdict

      RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE has developed an acute case of seconditis but he’s not ungenuine and has shown an aptitude in relation to the prevailing going. Citizen General has racked up the miles in the horsebox but connections have clearly had a rethink with regard to the trip. Haizoom appears poised to set his stall out early and the ex-Keith Dalgleish inmate is respected while Forza Orta has participated in two hot contests of late and, though he’ll carry top weight, it would be folly to dismiss the previous course and distance winner lightly.
