Ripon Race 6 - Ripon Races Ladies Day 18Th June Handicap
LADY VANGUARD (2) faded into fourth on opening handicap attempt at Yarmouth (1600m) last month. Given extra distance now for an in-form stable who wouldn't send many runners to this venue. The one to beat. BRADBURY (3) shaped better since stepping out of maidens despite enduring a troubled passage last start. Definitely of interest. LASER LUCK (9) is yet to hit top gear for this yard. Finished 8.5L fifth at Beverley when tackling this trip for the first time in latest. Capable of improvement. EVERGREEN EMERALD (6) could prove an entirely different proposition this year. Bred for this journey representing a top course trainer.
