Forecasts

The Raven's Return (5/6), Officernisi (9/2), Rio Gold (11/2), Laoch Beag (6/1), Dartmoor (12/1), Blazing Glen (25/1)

Verdict

A tricky contest to solve where The Raven's Return has the best form to offer from his latest fourth, although the large amount of jumping errors is of obvious concern. OFFICERNISI was given a lot to do on his latest start but at least showed signs of progress and this rates as a good opportunity to kick on again. Rio Gold needs to improve further but also took a step in the right direction last time.
  1. Officernisi
  2. The Raven's Return
  3. Rio Gold
