Verdict

ROSE OF AGHABOE shaped as though this 25f trip would really suit when a strong-finishing second over 20f at Doncaster last time so is given the vote to make a winning return for her in-form yard. Viking Ruby has started the season in excellent form so is sure to pose a big threat, while the Alex Hales-trained duo of Emily Webb and last year's winner Jonjoela are much respected too.
