Verdict
THE FINGAL RAVEN left his previous efforts behind when opening his account in decisive fashion at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his physique pointing towards further improvement, he looks up to defying a penalty. Stem and Shiplake are a pair of interesting newcomers who require close market scrutiny.
