Forecasts

Anthropologist (5/2), Invincible Ruby (3/1), Mecca's Symphony (4/1), Coeur Jaune (11/2), Defence Missile (10/1), Mayberry Moon (11/1), South Road (14/1), Actin Like A Diva (40/1)

INVINCIBLE RUBY would have been a lot closer on her recent Catterick handicap debut but for meeting trouble and might prove the answer to this 7f handicap. Last weekend's Doncaster fourth Couer Jaune may benefit from the return to 7f and is second choice ahead of Mecca's Symphony.
