Verdict
Ruby Valentine is in the veteran stage nowadays but she's won twice over this course and distance and it would be no surprise to see her go close again. Golden Games has the past form to figure but Montaff disappointed at Leicester after finishing second here earlier and Royal Etiquette may find conditions too testing. RUNNING WOLF drops into this grade for the first time over timber and has as good a chance as any of recent placed efforts here and at Market Rasen.
