In depth
Verdict
Rith Bob is given the vote in the finale over Valleyofthedolls and Kerada. The selection has improved with each and every run to date and ran a personal best when second to Mewstone at Uttoxeter on soft ground last time out. With further improvement still to come and racing against her own sex she will prove tough to beat. Both Valleyofthefields and Keranda warrant respect coming from such high profile yards. Both trainers have great srike rates in these races so any market moves for either will probably be the best guide but for the winner we return to Rith Bob.
