Ripon Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
WAR GAMING (4) Was competitive when 3rd last time at Yarmouth. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has found what on first sight looks an easy opportunity and will prove hard to beat. THE MEAN FIDDLER (3) Backing up quickly for this race. Was agonizingly close last start at Pontefract and having second career run. Has a positive draw. Hard to dismiss. REFLECT ON GLORY (1) On a quick back up. Looked good when 3rd last time at the track and having second race start. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. SOLE RULER (2) Disappointing display when 4th last run at Pontefract but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Could surprise at odds.

Started $34.00 and disappointing run when 4th last run at Pontefract but drawn well. Others are more appealing.

On a short back up. Threw down a serious challenge last start at Pontefract and was on debut last time. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Should be in the finish.
