Ripon Race 1 - Theakston Brewing Legends Since 1827 Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
SCENIC ROUTE (7) has displayed clear ability across both outings in recent weeks. Finished 3.75L away in third at York (1400m) last time. Capable of making the breakthrough here. BULLETSNAP (2) was a shade disappointing when beaten 6L into fourth at Windsor on third start last month (1200m). Trainer's runners at this track always demand respect. TIME TO PLAY (8) appeared to be learning on the job when 8L away in fourth over 1200m first up at Haydock (soft) three weeks ago. Can improve sharply. ALFA HOODINI (1) was outclassed in a sales race at Doncaster (1300m) latest. This is a far more realistic assignment.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on August 27 over 1400m, 11 len behind Market Leader carrying 60.5kg at $51. Last start ran second last of 17 at Doncaster on September 10 over 1300m, 12 len behind Night In Vegas carrying 59kg at $251. This more suitable so gets chance to open winning account.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 11th of 13 at Beverley on September 16 over 1000m, 9 len behind Woodvale carrying 59kg at $81. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 2nd of 11 at Thirsk on August 14 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Final Objective carrying 60.5kg at $11. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at York on September 6 over 1400m, 4 len behind Mezzo Forte with 60.5kg at $5.50. Close to a win and should prove hard to beat.

Was well in the market at debut, 4th of 7 at Haydock Park on September 3 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Sharadd carrying 58kg at $5. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Third race start. First start ran last of 8 at Pontefract on April 21 over 1000m, 32 len behind Margaret's Pearl with 59kg at $26. Went for a spell before returning ran last in a small field at Pontefract on September 17 over 1200m, 21 len behind Our Son Oscar carrying 60.5kg at $201. Hard to get excited about his chances.
