In depth
Verdict
Escalade has been thereabouts over today’s trip lately while Viola was beaten only a head over course and distance on her handicap debut and both can figure again. RAVENTREE found little at the business end stepped up to 1m6f for her handicap bow but was narrowly beaten over track and trip with Cafe Milano well behind before that. The Gosden filly gets another chance in this given Burano Boy has something to prove over this far as do the handicap newcomers Spanish Kiss, Dusk and Wise Eagle.
