Haydock Park Race 1 - Copybet Supporting Uk Horse Racing 'Chasing Excellence' Novices' Chase (Gbb Race)

RUBY ISLAND (2) found the placings for the first time in three starts running third attempting the Listed Lady Protectress Mares Chase at Huntingdon four weeks ago. Holds winning fences form scoring by 7L when commencing the season at Ayr. Markedly down in grade and is expected to challenge. GAMESTERS GUY (1) is racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts past five starts including finishing runner-up on most recent appearance in a Chepstow novice handicap chase twenty days ago. Also won tackling fences competing at Doncaster. Wearing a first-time tongue-tie could be going one place better.
