Verdict

Rare Ruby won this a year ago from 7lb lower and again showed herself suited to fast going with a winning reappearance at Warwick. Arab League almost made a winning return last year so the lack of a recent run may not be a problem and he has run very well from this mark in the past. ANDORN has done Philip Kirby proud winning six of his last seven including over timber at Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago. He's shot up the weights as a consequence but there could be another victory in him and he gets the vote. Not Till Monday made most under Kieren Fallon at Yarmouth and will take some pegging back despite a 5lb rise but Daylami Dreams has never recaptured the kind of form that saw him score at Newmarket in 2008 from a 9lb higher mark.
