In depth

Verdict

Both of RUTHERGLEN's victories so far have been achieved with plenty of give in the ground. George Baker's gelding had no problems stepping up to this trip at Windsor last time and can win again before the handicapper has his say. Astra Hall won over course and distance in may and at Ffos Las last month. But was well beaten off her new mark at Goodwood and a long way behind fourth Princess Caetani. Takeitfromalady has yet to convince that she really stays this far while Burnt Sienna is still a maiden and possibly better of quicker ground.
