Ripon Race 2 - Download The Raceday Ready App Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
URCHIN (4) placed third providing initial outing contesting a novice race at this venue over 1600m. Unseen since August and now attempts a longer journey. Expected to challenge. SUN LORD (3) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Almanzor out of Sous Le Soleil and a half-brother to Listed Crown Prince Cup winner Wootton'sun along with being a full-brother to Listed Derby du Languedoc runner-up The Sheriff. Worth considering. SEA AND SUN (2) is another debutant to consider. Bred by Sea The Moon out of Contrive. Potential. PICARO (6) is a son of Havana Gold on first career appearance. May improve for the run.
