Pivotal Answer could be the answer to this contest and she is preferred over Ravarino and Dolce Dovo. The selection has only had the three runs but she dead-heated with Ideally at Bath last time and she could be potentially well-treated for her handicap debut. Ravarino hails from a yard that are in good form and and she has run well here in the past. She has yet to race over this trip but providing she sees this out then she should be the main danger. Dolce Dovo has got some fair form in Ireland and she ran with credit last time when fourth behind Gone Gold at Hamilton. This step-up in trip should suit and she is entitled to go close with both her yard and jockey in good form. Cavort showed improved form last time to chase home Rose Of Petra and she is another that could go well at a price. However, we will stick with the unexposed Pivotal Answer as our idea of the winner.
