In depth
Verdict
RUFFINA did well to take second at Kempton last time given she covered plenty of ground racing out wide from a high draw. She may prove good enough in this and is preferred to Angelina D'or, who showed promise when fourth at Wolverhampton on last month’s debut. Of the newcomers, Arahat is a stablemate of the selection and Godolphin introduce Caring Touch. Cuban Fire is the first foal of a winner on the all-weather and Catch The Tide is a half-sister to winners in France.
