Races SRO Ripon - ENG

Hasn’t won for two years, adding to the drought last start when beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 2500m at Chester. Unreliable and needs to lift.

Is normally a reliable galloper but he ran well below his best last start when 13 lengths away in sixth over 2010m at Sandown Park. Prepared to risk.

Hasn't won in four years. Finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, last start over 2400m at Thirsk. Has ability and can break through on his best form.

Fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing third over 2000m at Beverley last time. Worth including.

A winning run was broken last time out when he finished second over 2400m at Catterick although only a neck from the winner. Worth another chance on a back-up of a week.

Camped just off the lead at Ayr last start and boxed on well, finishing second and not far from the winner. Capable of fighting out the finish again.

Resumed with a win at Chepstow then missed the placings last time over 2000m at Beverley, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Fitter for recent racing. Rates highly and can play a major role.

Five-year-old gelding who punters have shunned in recent times, and he's been running accordingly. Can't have on recent performances.

Won three times earlier on in his prep, most recently finished sixth beaten 3.5 lengths at Catterick over 2400m. Can contest the finish.

Yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a sixth over 2000m at Pontefract two-and-a-half weeks ago. Not keen on his chances.
