Ravenhoe is pretty consistent at this level and, on past evidence, a good ride for an inexperienced jockey. Oliver Stammers has won on him at Wolverhampton and Lingfield already this year and it’s hard to see him finishing out of the frame. However, QUOTELINE DIRECT has a similar chance on the form book and had Berlusca and Poppyinthepark behind when third over course and distance last time off a higher mark. Thorntoun Care is often thereabouts and was just beaten off this mark here in September. Cliff Bay has won over a mile but this trip may stretch his stamina.
