Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ruby Wedding
Ruby Wedding has been consistent in novice company and showed she remains green, hanging under pressure at a high level last time — this considerably easier task over a trip that suits her breeding looks ideal for a first success. Aussie Pearl made too much use of herself on return here and should be significantly better once she settles, while Geo brings the strongest recent form figures though stamina over 11f may be tested. Ruby Wedding is our selection.
