Verdict
RAASEL has rattled up a four-timer and done so with a degree of comfort. Proven at the track and on the ground, he can defy a penalty and confirm recent form with Dark Shot and Wrenthorpe. Illusionist had Pendleton almost three lengths behind at York last month but the latter should get much closer on the revised terms. Caroline Dale has been knocking on the door and preferred to Rolfe Rembrandt of the others.
