A chance is taken that RIPOLL will be suited by the return to Leicester and, with booking of a Jim Crowley boosting his chances, the drop back to a mile may be just what he needs. Roman De Brut will also benefit from the assistance of a leading jockey and shouldn't be underestimated in his bid to land his hat-trick of wins. Firm ground may not be ideal for him, so it can also pay to take notice of the betting activity surrounding Character Onesie, who is well handicapped just now and creeps into the weights from an attractive mark. Showboating is also capable at this level but is another that would be suited by any rain getting into the ground.
