Royal Ruby makes his handicap debut after going close in maiden company at Plumpton and can figure while Otter Moon was placed in this grade at Ludlow last month and can race off the same mark. Eskendash is upped in class after finishing third at Doncaster but Star Foot was set a difficult task at the same meeting at Doncaster last time having won over track and trip before that. But GIVEAWAY GLANCE will also appreciate the drop back down to this level and she may just edge proceedings on the evidence of her earlier narrow-margin defeat at Stratford.
