In depth
Verdict
Raventree is fitted with headgear having failed to show any improvement at Windsor last time but Float finished in front of Anisoptera when runner-up at Kempton and is going the right way. KASHI had the measure of Lemon Song when beaten only a neck at Kempton on his debut and, with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back today, Andrew Balding’s charge may prove the one to side with. Cafe Milano is the most exposed and has developed the unfortunate habit of finishing third while dual bumper winner Urban Artist debuts under this code.
