This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and DARK RAVEN, who represents the yard responsible for 3 of the last half-a-dozen winners, is of strong interest judged on what he showed in bumpers a couple of seasons back. He is unlikely to be found wanting fitness-wise, despite a 21-month absence, and gets the nod ahead of stablemate Viva Devito and Doctor Bravo. Clonshire River shaped well on his hurdling bow at Punchestown and he is not without each-way hope.
