This is fiercely competitive but ALLERBY has plenty in her favour. She may still be a maiden but went closest when racing over 1m on polytrack at Kempton last month. With cheekpieces going on today, she should be able to finally get off the mark. Far From A Ruby is very consistent and she has to be taken seriously. Delicate Kiss can never be discounted round here either.
