Rubis took 16 attempts to get off the mark but eventually did so at Lingfield last time and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Go On Gal went close at Yarmouth last time but is upped 4lb while Jessica Jo has tumbled 13lb down the weights since October. Thatsthewaytodoit was second in a classified event here recently and Spirit Of The Vale is getting closer but a couple of these are less exposed than most. General Hazard makes his handicap debut and steps up in trip for his first start since June but KILIM is preferred having failed to see out 1m4f last time but finishing a close-up fourth over today’s trip at Yarmouth on her penultimate start.
