MYRACING.COM SELECTIONS Little Raven arrives looking for a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and Newcastle. He has given the impression on both occasions that he keeps a little bit for himself when he hits the front, only doing what is needed. This is a step up in trip but the four pounds he has been raised for the latter success is erased by the seven-pound claim of the excellent Harry Davies who looks an apprentice to follow in 2022.

PLAY SMARTER LITTLE RAVEN had more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and looks up to completing the hat-trick with the promising Harry Davies taking off 7lb. Midgetonamission has improved since tackling this sort of trip and is also bidding for the hat-trick, while Cicely was much-improved when a narrow winner at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago.
