Formscan - ROARING RALPH gained compensation for two runner-up efforts at this venue when landing the spoils over C&D last time out. The six-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 3lb higher mark is surmountable and he edges the vote over Samra Star. Linda Perratt's mare has been nudged up just 2lb for her recent Wolverhampton victory and another bold bid is forecast. Asian Journey is the pick of the remainder.
