      Verdict

      Forecaster is another Bell and O'Brien contender but the level of her form to date indicates she may have something to find although her cause will be assisted by her talented pilot's claim. Livella Fella has proved a consistent type for the Dalgleish team and seems sure to run her race once again on conditions that should suit but RAVEN BANNER is a narrow preference. Her yard is enjoying a good campaign and is on track to beat their best yearly total, to which this daughter of Raven's Pass contributed when scoring at Haydock eight days ago. She looks on the upgrade on that evidence and can oblige again on her sixth career start and defy a 6lb penalty. The drop in trip should not prove inconvenient. Page Of Wands and Kerry Icon improved last time and add spice to an interesting little heat.
