Formscan  - RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE goes well fresh and with the in-form Hollie Doyle a notable jockey booking, he appeals strongly on his all-weather debut. Related to winners on synthetics, Iain Jardine's six-year-old faced stiffer tests on turf last year and, with the drop in distance not expected to be too much of an issue, this could be an ideal pipe-opener ahead of the new grass season. Of those lower down in the handicap, course winner Evening Story appeals most, with Armoured also considered now upped in trip.
