Forecasts

Far From A Ruby (9/4), Sky Blue Thinking (5/2), The Blue Bower (11/2), Annie Rose (15/2), Port Noir (9/1), White Lady (12/1), Clegane (12/1), Dacesa (16/1), Lady Alavesa (28/1)

FAR FROM A RUBY is going through a good spell and produced a career-best effort to resume winning ways back on AW here 2 weeks ago under this rider. She came clear with the runner-up that day so can defy a 3 lb rise. Sky Blue Thinking made it 4 from 4 for this yard at Chelmsford last week so rates a big threat, with Annie Rose best of the others.
