In depth
Verdict
Haydock winner Flower Of Scotland went close again at Newmarket recently while Riches And Rubies opened her account in a maiden handicap at Beverley. The remainder step up in trip including GALAH, who finished third over 1m2f at Salisbury last time but breeding suggests staying is her game and Ralph Beckett’s filly may prove the one to side with. Fire Eyes may also improve for this extra distance now handicapping while Brighton third Cafe Sydney is preferred to Tiki Fire of the rest.
