15/2

Shaped with some encouragement when second of 6 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 13/2) on debut 34 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Entitled to improve.

15/2

Ribchester colt who shaped with promise amidst greenness when third of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 7/1) on debut 24 days ago, never nearer. Open to progress.

Puella Law¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| BF

5/4

Produced a promising first effort when runner-up in a Beverley maiden (7.4f) in August, staying on. Couldn't match that form at Chelmsford 15 days ago but was still green and may yet do better.

Form: 24

Fiskerton²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

33/1

10/1, showed only greenness when sixth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on debut 25 days ago. Yard's runners tend to improve a lot for a run, so could prove a different proposition upped markedly in trip.

Form: 6

Hope Joanna¹⁶

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 7 in minor event at Catterick (7f, soft) 16 days ago, though not enough to be of interest.

Form: 85

11/8

Foaled April 18. Fascinating Rock filly. Dam, 1¾m winner, half-sister to useful 11f/1½m winner Dark Crusader. Much respected newcomer.

Forecasts

Puella Law (5/4), Molten Rock (11/8), Johnny Ringo (15/2), Ribble River (15/2), Hope Joanna (33/1), Fiskerton (33/1), Millbuie (33/1), Jez Bomb (40/1), Greatest Glory (66/1)

Kevin Ryan has his string in excellent form at present and RIBBLE RIVER seems sure to have learnt plenty from his debut, so he gets the nod with the step up to 1m in his favour. Puella Law was still green at Chelmsford and remains with potential, with Molten Rock a noteworthy newcomer in a race of this nature.
