It will be interesting to see how Realta Dawn fares in the opener, as VIKING RUBY was a good second to her at Wincanton, but whatever happens, Neil Mulholland's mare makes most appeal in an uncompetitive affair. Cottonvale is consistent and can take advantage if the selection falters, with Pahaska best of the rest.
