Rubaiyat, Trois Etoiles and Forge Lane are three against the field in an open finale and the vote goes to Rubaiyat . The selection was a good second behind Quarrymount over course and distance last time out and off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Trois Etoiles rates the main danger on her latest third behind Tuscarora that horse has since run well in defeat in a better race so the form looks solid and she will not be far away. Forge Lane is another that could go well she returns to handicaps on a fair mark and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder the booking of Kieren Fallon for Dream Of Dubai catches the eye but she has shown virtually nothing of late and for the winner we return to Rubaiyat.
