RUBYS REWARD is the obvious one here having appreciated a big step up in trip on this track last month when winning a shade cosily. She should cope with an 8lb rise in this company. Tara Niece won at Newton Abbot in the summer of 2020 but she has a very long absence to overcome while Steady Away has become disappointing since placing twice in the autumn. Beat The Heat has won five times on the Flat so looks best of the rest.
