ROBINS REEF is penalised for her easy victory at Market Rasen but she ran well when stepped up to Listed company at Sandown last time and could prove a cut above these. Ruby Rambler also ran in that Sandown contest but was well beaten though she'd shown promise in her earlier races at this sort of level. Timon's Tara also ran at Listed level on her latest start at Ascot in December and she's didn't perform badly so a drop back into more realistic company can see her in the mix. Popping Along has shown potential and started favourite at Plumpton last time but the very heavy ground wasn't in her favour. Raya Hope is by top stallion Robin Des Champs and cost 110,000 euros so may prove best of the newcomers.
