HARPERS RUBY gets a tentative vote in an unappealing handicap. She has been getting steadily closer and finished fourth at Wolverhampton last time ahead of Seamoor Secret. Collateral form also give her every chance with the likes of Multi Quest, Tasaaboq and Tamarin. Salvado beat the latter over track and trip in this lowly grade back in November but has been well beaten since. E Fourteen wasn’t beaten far over 5f here last time but takes on older horses today.
