In depth

Verdict

Billy Ruskin is a newcomer to note but WARMHEARTED produced a much-improved effort on her third start when a good second to previous winner The Night Porter and it's reasonable to anticipate further improvement from the Invincible Spirit filly after three starts. Hollie Doyle is expected to set out to make all and can repel the challenge of Mark Johnston's Agadeer. The latter was disappointing at Doncaster following a promising debut at this venue and would be dangerous if back to the level of that initial run. Indie Groove shaped well on debut for Ger Lyons last term but was tailed off on a first start for new connections this month and is best watched.
