Ripon Race 6 - Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Handicap

SPARTAN TIMES (3) makes first start on the flat since last October placing third at Nottingham. Gained a hurdling success once in three outings this winter which came on penultimate start at Uttoxeter. May bounce back. SIR EDWARD LEAR (2) finished fifth making seasonal reappearance in a handicap at Newmarket (Rowley). Holds winning form at this venue and improvement expected. SO ALEX (1) failed to land a hat-trick after finishing ninth in a 2400m Wolverhampton handicap. Secured two wins tackling the same track and trip prior. Might return to winning ways. SOMETHING (4) cannot be discounted holding winning course and distance form.
