Forecasts

Glendun (5/2), Far From A Ruby (4/1), Ephemeral (4/1), Vocatus (5/1), Boy In The Bar (15/2), Parikarma (11/1), Rocket Dancer (16/1), Kumasi (33/1), Gloryella (200/1)

FAR FROM A RUBY has been in cracking form lately and this represents a slight drop in class from the Bath handicap she finished second in last time. Glendun also found only one too good at Kempton on his latest outing, so he ranks as the main threat ahead of Parikarma.
