RUBYTWO was let by her jumping at Perth in September but she remains a mare of some potential over timber and she’ll be hard to beat here if more fluent. Bumper winner Rococo Style was a well-beaten third at Market Rasen on her hurdles bow and then unseated her rider at the same track last month after being hampered. She looks the danger ahead of Donnas Dream, a modest sort in bumpers, and Terminal One, who only beat one home at Sedgefield in March and has changed stables since.
