Verdict
There must be a reason why Royal Ruby is having a first run in almost a year but he would have every chance if fully wound-up. Eclair Des Sablons and Misty Bloom are also making their seasonal reappearances but Minella Mojo won at Uttoxeter earlier this month and Working Class was successful at Fontwell last month on his first run following wind surgery. DOUNYAPOUR had to be ridden out to land a maiden at Worcester before winning a match at Sedgefield but was a useful stayer on the Flat in France so there is a good chance he’ll improve further as he steps up in trip.
