Verdict
Viking Ruby went close at Stratford last time and is 4lb higher but several have won over track and trip recently including Kings Creek and Robeam. Both have been beaten subsequently though the former was upped in class and can figure again but it could pay to stick with MATCHMAKING as he’s won again at Huntingdon since scoring here in April. Grannie Annie is unexposed of the remainder and could go well.
