Verdict
Cosmos Raj won at Ripon in July but returned a losing favourite at the same track last time. YORKSTONE went close here before winning over 7f at Doncaster when giving the impression this extra distance would suit. He won’t mind any further rain and there looks more to come. Bicep is another upped in trip after going close at Carlisle while Retirement Beckons has won a couple of lower grade races this year. Time To Rumble and Cassy O were both due to run here yesterday.
