Verdict
RUTBA has the profile of a progressive horse and can land the finale for Marcus Tregoning and Hayley Turner. Up an aggregate of 12lb for her two earlier victories, she is the type that is difficult for the handicapper to assess and while he has not taken any chances with her, she can defy the rise once again. Dimashq did not handle the testing conditions at Musselburgh last time and will be more at home on the polytrack while Mohawk Star is more exposed than his main rivals but his recent form has taken a turn for the best. Moonshine Beach and Chiff Chaff are others that could get involved but on a night that will not prove easy to pick winners, favourite backers can get out on a winning note courtesy of the likely favourite Rutba.
