Verdict
Ravenscar completed a double over the extended 2m trip here in January and had Social City back in fourth on the first of those occasions. LITTLE INDIA and Mukha Magic are closely matched on running behind the progressive Caribeno over track and trip last month but Philip Kirby’s charge went on to score over 1m4f at the track and should be bang there at the finish again. Tigray has been hurdling though won a seller on the Fibresand at this time last year.
