Ripon Race 2 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
TOWELONTHETERRACE (1) may follow up a Chester success when building on a debut third to prove an impressive 1.75L winner of a 1200m novice earlier this month. Sets a good standard on form and holds ability to defy conceding weight. PURE MINT (4) is the pick of the newcomers. This son of Minzaal is an interesting runner for Simon and Ed Crisford. Out of a two-time winning mare and could be a smart prospect. REFLECT ON GLORY (5) also appears for the first time. By Coulsty and out of a useful Irish mare. One to watch in the market. AKARAKA (2) finished well behind the main selection at Chester last time. Might step forward.

By Starman out of Fast Dandy on debut. Purchased for EUR € 60,000 (Goffs - IRE 2025 Orby Book 2). Hard to recommend without a market push.
