Verdict

RAVI RIVER hasn't won on the turf for some time now but is on a 10lb lower mark than when last winning on the all-weather and his recent second at Musselburgh suggests Brian Ellison's charge is ready to strike. Gadabout Dancer ended last season in fine form winning here and at Hamilton and should figure off only a 4lb higher mark, while Tomintoul Star has a chance if producing her best back on the turf. Prince Rhyddarch has won over 1m4f here but may struggle over today's shorter trip.
