In depth
Verdict
WILSONS RUBY is not the most consistent but that can be said of most of these in a poor handicap and he gets a token vote on his latest second over 5f here. Kenstone was narrowly beaten over track and trip earlier but is 4lb higher while My Best Song never threatened when placed over course and distance on her handicap debut but has more scope than the former. The remainder have shown little worthwhile form to date but Sunbaked and Tigserin may do better now handicapping.
