Far From A Ruby has switched yards on a couple of occasions since winning this race last year but scored again at Ayr last month. Maylah has only been winning lowly classified races but Street Poet has been in good form at Chelmsford while Harbour Vision has been thereabouts on Tapeta recently. OPTICALITY has been threatening to open her account and gets the vote back here having found only one too good over course and distance on her penultimate start.
