Verdict

Last year’s winner Anif won here again last time with Twisted Dreams back in third. The latter beat subsequent winner Bringitonboris at the track last month but LA RAV may come out best of those with recent winning form. He had the measure of Anif before landing a course and distance double with last month’s success and Mick Easterby’s charge gets the vote in a tight contest. Song of The Isles has been in fine form on testing going over 7f on the Turf and can race off a lower mark back on the all-weather today.
