In depth
Verdict
RAGAMUFFIN was heavily eased after blundering three out here earlier in the month. He’s better judged on earlier form at Warwick and Stratford and is the one to beat in this. Neil Mulholland also runs Translink but he was pulled up on his chasing bow here last month and a bigger danger may be Blue Collar Glory, who will have learned plenty from her run at Uttoxeter.
