Ruth Carr has won three of the six renewals and Emily Bullock partnered last year’s winner. She's on board this season’s representative in ORIENTAL SPLENDOUR and a bold bid is expected from the latter having won at Beverley on his penultimate start. Majorie Fife has also won this on a couple of occasions and Robot Boy is preferred to stablemates B Fifty Two and Fast Track while National Glory could go well on the back of a string of placed efforts. Mr Shelby has a shout back over the minimum trip today and may prove best of the rest.
