Ripon Race 5 - Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Hcp
VIETNORM (2) progressed very well of late scoring narrow back-to-back successes over 2000m. Since made it a hat-trick in a minor event hurdling. Not unduly punished at weights so may replicate the outcome. KEEP IT CLASSIC (4) delivered some better performances of late including a fourth beaten 4.5L on the all-weather most recently. Rates the biggest threat. RIDDIKULUS (8) hasn't been disgraced both outings this term including when fourth behind the main selection on penultimate start. With a light weight could play a role. HANSTEEN (6) needs to lift on this handicap debut. Pedigree would suggest this vastly longer journey should suit.
