Raucous Behaviour is well clear on official ratings but is not certain to run up to his mark here. He's been beaten out of sight in both starts this year and hasn't raced since May. Stablemates Chillie Peppar and Midnight Tiger make even less appeal so DEW REWARD gets the vote. He's won twice at this level this season including on the Polytrack and is just preferred to What About Now. The latter won a seller at Brighton last month but has something to prove on this surface after her previous dire efforts at this track.
