Verdict

Gift Of Raaj has won five races on the Flat including at Newcastle earlier this month. Successful over timber at Doncaster in February, he looks the only danger to HILL OF TARA completing a quick double under a penalty. Venetia Williams is firing the winners in and the six-year-old was well supported when scooting up on heavy ground at FFos Las last weekend. Black Lightning looks best of the remainder.
