Verdict

RAATEA bagged this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose on the back of his Haydock success 3 weeks ago, for which a 3 lb rise is hardly prohibitive. Next on the list is Soldier's Minute, who shaped as though coming to hand at York a fortnight ago and the return to the all-weather will be no bad thing for this 8-y-o. Lethal Levi was down the field in the Wokingham last weekend but also performed well at York prior to that and will be a threat if taking to this surface.
