Verdict

RUTHIN certainly hasn't been missed in the market but with good reason given the impression she created when hammering 9 rivals on debut at Keeneland (runner-up won next time). She may have too much raw pace for these, with Dig Two looking the pick of the home contingent. At much longer odds, Silks Pass could easily leave the form he achieved at Redcar well behind.

  1. RUTHIN
  2. DIG TWO (IRE)
  3. SILKS PASS
