Riltree faces decent ground for the first time in her career and she's been showing just enough to suggest she would be in the shake-up if taking to the surface. Shady Pines wasn't too far behind Domination at Clonmel last time so a big run from the winner earlier in the day will obviously be a pointer to her chances. Black Rock Lake didn't quite last out 2m4f at Musselburgh when last seen in November but she may still need further than this in these conditions. PRESENTING RUBY couldn't get out of her own way between the flags but should do much better over timber judging on her recent second to Benefique at Tramore and she gets the vote.
