Ripon

Needed a gelding operation to build on debut promise at the third attempt when winning Nottingham maiden 9 days ago, still doing plenty wrong in the first half of the race but well on top at the finish. No surprise if he did better again switched to nurseries.

All the wiser with her debut behind her when second (split a pair of subsequent winners) in maiden at Carlisle and similar form when filling same spot over C&D 3 weeks ago. Good value claimer booked for nursery bow so she needs considering.

Showed the benefit of initial experience when second in maiden at Nottingham. That form has worked out well but he failed to repeat that at Redcar 5 weeks ago. Has since been gelded and worth another chance off what looks a fair opening mark.

Persian Force colt who left first start well behind when fourth in novices at Salisbury (heavy) and Bath (firm). Has been gelded since and yard has good record with handicap debutants.

Looked in need of the experience first 2 starts and possibly unsuited by soft ground when prominent in the market at Nottingham (has since been gelded). Work to do off opening mark but probably capable of better.

Left debut form behind when fourth in maiden at Wetherby but she has failed to repeat that form either start since and now drops back in trip having failed to see things out at Leicester on nursery debut 2 weeks ago.
