John Williams was in good form around here in November but hasn’t raced since and this big step up in trip has to be a concern. REV UP RUBY has not made the frame in four previous starts over fences but jumps well enough and is 8lb lower than when winning over 3m here over hurdles in the autumn. He looks the one to be on with Heart O Annandale having his first run since July and Mollies Gent still 6lb higher than when successful at Perth in September. Shanroe Street has scope but has never won under Rules.
