In depth

Verdict

Kylie Rules should improve for her debut at Ripon and the form of the race has worked out well, but she was well beaten that day and this looks a much more competitive contest. Thundercloud has shown little in two outings while Mearing ran well on debut but flopped badly at Kempton last time out and is best watched for now. Sandytown reared at the start of his debut back in April so could be forgiven that performance, but MUTAKATIF could be the answer here. He has twice failed to land the odds as favourite, but wasn’t beaten far in either event and both were better races than this. Stablemate Muraadef looks the pick of the newcomers and has each way prospects along with Bombshell Bay from the Richard Hannon stable, who has a speedy pedigree and is sure to be well prepared.
