The consistent Far From A Ruby should be in the mix again while Byzantia has slipped down the weights and finished runner-up here recently. The latter comments also apply to Delicate Kiss, who finished in front of Starry Eyes last week, while Natural Colour won a classified event at Doncaster to open her account. CAMBRIDGESHIRE makes her all-weather debut and drops back down in trip and class. Martyn Meade’s filly placed at Nottingham two runs ago and has more scope than most with an apprentice’s allowance further helping her cause.
