Not able to make an impression when fourth despite 14-5 odds over 6½f here (handicap) failing to take advantage of a good draw 35 days ago; three-time winner over C&D; a likely player.

Verdict

This is not a race for maximum stakes but RAVILIOUS could be the runner to side with. He was behind Always Shining last time but can now reverse placings and he knows how to win. Honorine's Gimmie has won over C&D.
