        In depth

        Verdict

        Rubilini is preferred to Tour D'Amour and Sparky Vixen. The selection benefited from the drop back from eleven furlongs to run out a one length winner of an apprentice handicap over course and distance on her second start for Sheena West. She actually lines up here from a 3lb lower mark and has a clear chance. Tour D'Amour has a decent track record and is entitled to come on for last month's reappearance where she wasn't beaten too far whilst the booking of Fergal Lynch is a positive. Sparky Vixen makes her all-weather debut for a new yard and should be monitored in the market along with Maid Of Ale who represents David Wintle for the first time. Cadogen Square is another worthy of consideration but she has something to prove at this venue unlike the selection, Rubilini.
