Ripon Race 2 - Harrogate Theatre Panto Tickets Now On-Sale Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
TIME THIEF (2) Fought on well to win a tight contest by 1/2L last start at Yarmouth and was a debutant last start. Challenged by weaker competitors. Strong claims. PEACE BELLE (3) Did well when 2nd last start at Carlisle and challenged by less formidable competitors. Jockey Jason Hart and trainer Jennie Candlish are usually competitive when they team up. Appears well in this. MASTERLY (1) Resumes after a spell of 153 weeks. Tidy run when 3rd last start at Yarmouth and was on debut last time. One of the hopes. WHY NOT ME (4) Disappointing effort when 4th last time at Wolverhampton but will find this grade easier. Will be positive in the run early. Has drawn the rails. Outside chance.

Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at Yarmouth and fitter for debut run. Up against weaker rivals. Solid chance.

Honest race when 2nd last start at Carlisle and facing weaker opposition. Jason Hart and Jennie Candlish deserve serious attention when combined. Shows very good closing speed. Strong competitor.

Jumped at $8.50 and ordinary performance when 4th last time at Wolverhampton but competing in an easier class. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Hard to recommend.

Came in 5th last start at Kempton but matched against less formidable competition. Gets a favourable draw. Rising in weight. Hard to warm to.
