Verdict
Ripon before appearing unlucky when only third over 5f at Catterick last week having failed to get a clear run. He gets another chance in this while Erastus slips further down the weights and finished in front of both Mount Hellvelyn and Nalaini at Ripon last time. Bibbidibobbidiboo and French Silk return to action having both run well at Newcastle on their respective latest starts and Me Before You drops in class on her first start since September.
