Ruby Lily^t³³

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 33 days ago. Had excuses on her latest two starts and she's still relatively unexposed, so should go close.

Forecasts

Barrington (3/1), Royal Heart (4/1), River Chorus (9/2), Ruby Lily (6/1), Adace (8/1), Glen Rosa (8/1), Pyrrhos (14/1), Rinty Maginty (22/1), Eastern Star (25/1), Cousins Joy (33/1), The Simple Truth (66/1), Sparkling Diamond (100/1)

A chance is taken on RUBY LILY in what is a low-grade affair. She has had excuses on her last two runs and, with Adam Kirby taking over from an apprentice, she looks the best option in a thin-looking field. River Chorus has been knocking on the door and she has to be respected. A case can also be made for Barrington.
