Verdict
A literal reading of up-to-date form gives Ruby Dream every chance of getting off the mark today and she is the percentage call in the search for value over Wizzskilad and Zachy Boy, who are hard to split on what they have shown so far and head the list of dangers here. General Nuisance should also be capable of getting involved at this level but hails from a yard that have endured a nightmare in the search for winners on the Flat in recent times and he is probably best watched. However, Ruby Dream, who hails from a yard that do very well with cheaply purchased horses, gave encouraging signs on her debut in a fillies only race at Warwick and the daughter of Tipsy Creek will no doubt be placed to good effect as the season goes on from here.
