Verdict
Ravenhoe pops up when conditions are right and is easily forgiven a run on soft going at Yarmouth on Tuesday. GHOSTLY ARC won a maiden over course and distance two years ago. He usually races over longer distances but did win over 1m2f at Newcastle in February and is only a pound higher. Adventureman is another previous course winner who arrives in good form so should be thereabouts if a wide draw doesn’t prove too much of a disadvantage. New Abbey Angel won’t fail through lack of fitness but is hard to win with while Intiwin lacks a recent run.
