Rubys Reward (15/8), The Height Of Fame (16/5), Beat The Heat (11/2), Steady Away (7/1), Full Aux Rois (14/1), Black Lightning (14/1), Fama Et Gloria (16/1), Jack The Farmer (22/1), What's My Line (25/1), Tara Niece (25/1), Lightning Bug (33/1), Shirocco's Delight (50/1), Great Commission (100/1)

Not a strong handicap despite the field size so RUBY'S REWARD is presented with a very good follow-up opportunity. Steady Away is a long-standing maiden but this represents a drop in class, with The Height of Fame another to consider.
