RUBI DIA won over 7f here on his debut when trained by Mark Johnston. He was not beaten far when stepped up to 1m3f here last time and, given he is open to further improvement, he can make a winning start for new connections over today's extra furlong. Ramora and Shifting Gold are closely matched on their latest running here with the latter weighted to reverse the form, while Mediterranean Sea and Yossi have both been running well without winning and are others to consider.
