Ripon Race 5 - On-Course Bookmakers Welcome You To Ripon Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
ZEN DIVA (7) brings the most racecourse experience in this field. Bids to turn two placed efforts into a win after finishing runner-up at Chelmsford and third at Nottingham previously. Interesting making seasonal reappearance. BLACK ORCHID (2) represents notable connections. Rates the pick of the debutants. Bred by Ardad out of G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes runner-up Squash. Worth giving serious consideration. ELEMMA (3) finished last of four on sole career outing tackling a Pontefract novice race. Improvement expected second-up. KYRENIA (4) is a filly by Koulsty. Could have an impact on first career attempt.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 at Nottingham on April 18 over 1200m, 18 len behind Bintaryana with 61.5kg at $51. Better for that experience but others look better placed.

Three-year-old filly by Advertise out of Arlene Phillips having her first start. Capable of a cheeky run.
