Race preview
After winning easily at Wetherby on her penultimate start, Danni California was only narrowly denied under a penalty at Thirsk last time, finishing strongly on her return to 1m4f. The four-year-old is an obvious candidate up in trip but she might have to settle for minor honours behind GIFT OF RAAJ, who arrives on the back of a win at Doncaster last month and may have even more to offer. Flint Hill was only run down in the closing stages at Pontefract last time and also makes the shortlist.
