The Raven's Return is on a long losing run and has been beaten twice in sellers this season. Get The Appeal won off a higher mark last spring but hasn’t shown the same sparkle this term. SALLEY GARDENS is having a first run since landing the odds at Fakenham in November but fitness is unlikely to be an issue and James King is a very experienced rider compared to most in this. Josh Newman’s mount Getaway Cory looks the pick of the remainder.
