6/1
Won a 2½m Aintree handicap on Boxing Day backed it up when second at Market Rasen the following month. Forgivable run at Ayr prior to landing a Mares Listed race upped in trip at Kelso (24.5f) 3 weeks ago, didn't need to improve to do so. In great heart but has more on her plate from 6 lb higher.

Won maiden/novice hurdles last spring. Solid return from 7 months off when second in 21f Warwick mares handicap in November and returned to that sort of form seeing out the longer trip when runner-up at Chepstow (23.6f) last time. Lightly-raced and likely more to come.

Showed promise as a novice and as a handicapper when fourth at this venue back in January. Her season has somewhat stalled since, twice finishing last and pulling up on the other occasion . Needs to bounce back.

7/2
Has a fine course record and built on promise of last run when bagging her first handicap success at this course (21.4f) last month, suited by the step up in trip. That was a career-best and she shapes as though this further step up in distance will be in her favour. Makes plenty of appeal.

Made the frame in all 3 bumpers for previous trainer and was much improved on her latest start for Willie Mullins, justifying support to land a Newcastle maiden (16.9f) in February. Totally unexposed over this longer trip (bred to stay). Must be taken seriously on handicap debut.

Is building up a fine record over hurdles, confirmed the promise of runners-up effort on handicap debut when going one better next time, travelled well to win an 8-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f), though still prone to jumping errors. Interesting off the same mark on first try at 3m.

6/1
Lightly-raced maiden hurdle winner improved for switch to handicaps when fourth at Wetherby (24.1f) in October and progressed again when keen over a shorter trip (21.4f) on her return, making Ruby Island work all the way to the line, clear of rest. Up 5 lb but may do even better back over 3m.

Remains a maiden but runner-up on decent ground in a couple of 3m Doncaster handicaps over recent months, beaten by a thriving sort on each occasion. Isn't totally dismissed up in grade.

Fair ex-French maiden hurdler showed more than she has on her most recent start for current connections when (500/1) 21 lengths fourth of 6 to Lavida Adiva in a Listed Hurdle, although flattered by her proximity to the placed horses. Needs more.

Forecasts

Ruby Island (7/2), Rockola Vogue (4/1), Armed And Fabulous (5/1), Lavida Adiva (6/1), Fox's Fancy (6/1), Musique De Fee (8/1), Rialannah (8/1), The Lord Maid (10/1), Ottizzini (10/1), Pinot Rouge (16/1), Disco Annie (25/1), My Lady Elektra (33/1)

Verdict

RUBY ISLAND has been improving for Nicky Richards and arrives on the back of a career-best when winning at this course (21.4f). She has a fine record here and makes most appeal with this longer trip expected to suit. Lightly-raced Fox's Fancy finished only a neck behind the selection last time, and she may well improve on her second run of the season returning to 3m. Rockola Vogue is unexposed over staying distances, as is Armed And Fabulous representing title-chasing Willie Mullins.
