Ripon Race 2 - Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
GRASMERE BOY (1) Missed by a narrow margin last run at Catterick and challenged by weaker competitors. Placed at every start this preparation. Top prospects. KILFRUSH DESERT (5) Nice run when 2nd last run at Newcastle and competing at a lower level of competition. Can go through the gears. Looks to be in good shape and must go close today. MASAI ANGEL (4) Finished 4th last start at Newcastle. Likely to bounce back and up against a less challenging field. Should be going forward early. Can find a nice position from the draw. Solid place bet prospects. KILFRUSH BLUE (2) Disappointing outing when 9th last start at Doncaster but taking on easier opposition. Outside chance.

Competed in a tight contest last run at Catterick and facing a weaker group of contenders. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Strong contender.

Started $51.00 and fairly underwhelming when 9th last start at Doncaster but goes down in class. Appears tested in this event.

Was $81.00 and moderate showing when 6th last run at Southwell but stepping down to a lower level. Has drawn to do little work. Has more weight to carry. Cannot make a case for.

Started at $6.00 and ran 4th last start at Newcastle. Likely to bounce back and facing less formidable opponents. Will be positive in the run early. Has a positive stall. Will be around the mark at good odds.
