In depth
Verdict
Ravenswood was narrowly beaten at Musselburgh on his return to action with Pour L'Amour, Falcon's Fire and Melanna all well beaten. He should make another bold bid in this similar company while Glasgon won here off today’s mark in October and Go On Gal won at Southwell in March. Druid's Diamond was placed over today’s distance before struggling over 1m2f but a chance is taken the unexposed SANAM shows further progress stepping up in trip having finished much closer at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut.
