Rukaana scores at Nottingham

Rukaana had worked well with The Ice Phoenix on Wednesday morning, so after that horses victory we were more confident of Rukaana’s chances. He’s a horse who takes a bit of stoking up, and Christian Howarth never gave up despite it not looking promising at one stage. He’s a big horse and has plenty of strengthening up to do, so there should be a fair bit of improvement in him.
