Race preview
RICHES AND RUBIES seemed to have a lot more in hand than the winning margin suggested when getting off the mark at Beverley last week. With more improvement likely at the trip, a 6lb penalty may not be enough to halt this talented filly. Flower Of Scotland has been in fine form of late and was narrowly denied a second career win at Newmarket last month. Completing the shortlist is the unexposed Fire Eyes, who shapes as though she will relish this step up in distance.
