In depth

Verdict

Raifteiri finally came good over timber at the the 19th time of asking when scoring at Cartmel. But he's been raised 9lb for that success and NOIR GIRL is preferred. The latter is less exposed and this longer trip should not be a problem on the back of a victory over 2m6f at Huntingdon. Blazin White Face will have come on for a recent reappearance and was placed off a similar mark last term but it's harder to make a case for any of the remainder.
