Verdict
RAVENSDALE won a point-to-point in Ireland back in April and gets a token vote on his debut under Rules having joined Nigel Twiston-Davies subsequently. Some Ambition was placed between the flags in Ireland and stablemate I’d Better Go Now is a half-brother to the useful Carthlawn. Hidden Glen and Nestor Park represent Ben Pauling’s yard and Blue Merlin is related to a winner over hurdles.
