Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Ravenscraig Castle is a consistent course performer who finished a close third here last time and returns on his last winning mark, supported by a trainer in good form and first-time blinkers. Pergamon is the clear danger after back-to-back hurdle successes and looks a progressive type; Just Dottie also goes well here and will run her race. Our selection is Ravenscraig Castle.
