Ripon Race 2 - British Stallion Studs Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
EMPRESS PRINCESS (5) finished runner-up on first career appearance in a novice race at Beverley attempting this journey. Can go one better on second career outing. KUMHARAS (6) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Mehmas out of Listed Rose Bowl Stakes winner Natalie's Joy. The dam is a half-sister to G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes third Annie's Fortune. Worth considering. AMERICAN PSYCHO (1) holds the most experience in the field. Missed out on the frame when fourth last time in a novice race at Lingfield Park. Will be thereabouts. CLASSYFIED (4) finished fourth in a maiden at Musselburgh eight days ago. Quickly turned out and may improve.

Second run back. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after two months 4th of 7 at Lingfield on July 25 over 1000m, 3 len behind It Dunt Marra carrying 60.5kg at $8. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Wolverhampton on May 18 over 1000m, 15 len behind Agamemnon with 60.5kg at $4.20. Fitter and is expected to do much better.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, ran second last in a small field at Beverley on August 13 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Not My Type with 58kg at $81. Second-up 4th of 8 at Musselburgh on August 24 over 1000m, 3 len behind The Mean Fiddler with 58kg at $34. Coming along well and is worth including.
