Verdict
ROYAL RUBY took his time to open his account over timber but finally did so at Bangor a fortnight ago and has little to fear from today’s opposition, despite a 7lb rise. Nicky Henderson’s charge is preferred to Barbrook Star, still well beaten when fourth at Warwick in May, while Guard Of Honour has been racing on the Flat for some time but has won over hurdles in the past. Queen Of The Wind scored over these hurdles in March but steps up in trip.
