Verdict

The drop in grade/first-time headgear may just see RAVEN'S VIEW open his account. Hood Wink, Trucial Pearl, Hatamoto and Regal Knight are others to consider in a trappy low-grade handicap.

Down the field in a 1½m Thirsk handicap latest (unproven at trip), though has been given a chance by the handicapper and looks interesting with cheekpieces added on first start in a 0-55. 1st Pick 5 Raven's View (Ire) Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Michael Dods J: Connor Beasley T: Michael Dods	97	-	-	-	13%	7/1

7	Found improvement when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m) in April and having recorded his best effort yet when third of 9 in a C&D handicap last time, he has to be high on the shortlist.
