Rubber has already fared well against stiffer company and is the logical choice to lead this lot home. Pride Of Joy, Spirit Of Arosa and Kellys Dream are others that are worth a look if the betting market hints at any weaknesses in the selection's profile tonight. Kellys Dream is better than she consented to show at Lingfield last month and would have to be given place claims if she runs to the form of her previous start at Wolverhampton. She handles an artificial surface and is likely to be sent off at a fair price for each-way backers. Spirit Of Arosa ran well in defeat in each of her previous starts and can pay her way when she goes into handicaps. Richard Quinn has a good record when riding for her yard and the partnership are worth looking out for after this. The form of Pride Of Joy's latest outing was given a boost of sorts at Newmarket yesterday and the Pursuit Of Love filly looks to be going the right way. She is bred to be effective over sprint distances and is another name for the notebook. However, Rubber sets a fair standard at this stage and, having finished fifth in a Listed race when she was last seen out, will be very hard to beat if she strengthened up during the winter.
