Nothing really stands out on breeding among the eight newcomers so the market will probably be the best guide to their chances. We'll stick with those with experience and THE ROAD AHEAD gets the vote ahead of Ruby Glow.

Like April's Fontwell second Ruby Glow, Lady From Geneva makes her seasonal reappearance though has been placed in both starts so far.
