Ripon Race 6 - Ripon Theatre Festival 1St-6Th July Handicap
PASTORAL WAY (7) placed third at Ayr eleven days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces to produce more. Leading claims. I GOT KNOW HOW (9) is yet to place in four career starts. Finished fifth making handicap debut at Pontefract delivering first outing this year. Potential. BARMYBLADE (8) failed to follow up a narrow head victory at Catterick four weeks ago when sixth at Ayr behind the top pick. Can return to winning ways. QUEEN DINAH (5) makes the shortlist.

Second-up. First-up after six months 5th of 12 at Pontefract on April 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind City Captain with 58kg at $19. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Catterick on October 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Jachin with 58kg at $23. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
