    Verdict

    Ravens Brook only found one too good off this mark at Carlisle in February. He's lightly raced for his age and has every chance of going one better but connections of MILGEN BAY have been waiting for the better ground and he goes well fresh. Epee Celeste is weighted to reverse Huntingdon running in the autumn with Oliver Sherwood's charge but she's not sparkled in three outings since. Prince Des Marais has only won once since 2011 but isn't badly treated and it would be no surprise to see him go close.
