Ripon Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
THE MEAN FIDDLER (3) finished a respectable second providing first career appearance losing narrowly by a nose contesting a maiden at Pontefract eight days ago. Quickly turned out to go one better. WAR GAMING (4) aims to transform two placings into a maiden win. Finished runner-up on debut attempting a novice race at Doncaster then followed up placing third in a maiden at Great Yarmouth. Expected to challenge. REFLECT ON GLORY (1) hails from a stable noted for their two-year-olds. Placed third delivering sole career start over course and distance and expected to be thereabouts. SOLE RULER (2) might improve on a latest fourth at Pontefract.

At debut, sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on July 27 over 1200m, 5 len behind Pure Mint carrying 59kg at $9. Should come on following that hit-out and likely to be highly competitive again.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 7 at this track on June 3 over 1000m, 8 len behind Social Symbol carrying 60.5kg at $51. Last start got back early 4th in a small field at Pontefract on June 21 over 1200m, 8 len behind Clash Of Hearts carrying 60.5kg at $34. Doesn't appeal.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Pontefract on July 26 over 1000m, nose behind Bolt Of Blue with 60.5kg at $8. Has upside and is expected to go well.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, 2nd of 11 at Doncaster on July 3 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Jumeirah Storm with 60.5kg at $41. Last start 3rd in a small field at Great Yarmouth on July 15 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Anchiano carrying 60.5kg at $2.30. Up in trip and is worth some thought.
