In depth

Verdict

Ruby Valentine is a former course winner but she's only a plater nowadays. Lady Garvagh is 7lb higher than when scoring at Uttoxeter and was well behind Agent Fedora at Towcester earlier but Dazzling Rita could be interesting. She stays further than this but has been in decent form and makes more appeal than Honour A Promise, who hasn't raced since just coming up short on fast ground at Worcester in July. The three-year-old MOVING WAVES (NAP) has already been placed in a couple of handicaps and might be suited by this step up in distance as she won over 1m6f on the Fibresand in August - she gets the nod.
