Verdict
A chance is taken that RUBY RED EMPRESS handles the surface as she’s been thereabouts on the Polytrack lately and looks to have an easier task today. Aria Rose has placed form here though his recent wins have come in classified races at Kempton while Mizen Master was still well beaten when third over 1m6f at the track last time. Master Burbidge would appreciate a longer trip and King Athelstan debuts on the Fibresand having recently switched yards.
