In depth
Verdict
Barbados Blue is the choice of Nico de Boinville ahead of Sunrise Ruby. She was only beaten half-a-length at Doncaster earlier this month but has been raised 5lb as a result. Wynn House started favourite for a Listed race at Doncaster last time but her jumping left much to be desired and cheekpieces are now applied. A winner over course and distance in the autumn, she makes her handicap debut but is conceding 11lb to PRECIOUS ELEANOR, who certainly wouldn’t be winning out of turn though is still creeping up the weights.
