In depth
Verdict
This may not be as competitive as first appears. Sunrise Ruby has to go on the shortlist as she has only found one too good in three of her four hurdles starts and was third in the other. At the other end of the handicap are recent winners Drewmain Legend and Born To Please and they should figure again while Our Dot's Baby is the only one really proven at this level, though she was pulled up on her first run for Zoe Davidson and ideally needs further. VIENNA COURT was really enjoying the heavy ground last time at Bangor and is better judged on earlier runs here and at Ffos Las. Making her handicap debut, Nigel Twiston-Davies’ mare can return to winning ways today.
