Verdict

None of these inspire much confidence but RUBIS is getting steadily closer and may be good enough having finished a modest third here earlier. She has the beating of Adventure Zone on latest running at Kempton while Sea Of Uncertainty has been placed at the track on more than one occasion but over shorter trips than this. Southern Seas was runner-up over course and distance in November but has finished nearer last in a couple of subsequent starts and the remaining pair have shown little to recommend them.
