RIPP ORF found one too good in a tougher contest over a mile at Newbury last time but won over today’s trip at Ascot before that when landing the Victoria Cup.

Black Bess won on the Turf course at Lingfield recently but Taurean Star is preferred on last month’s victory at Goodwood with Right Action well beaten. Accession still looks high enough in the weights and the selection’s stablemate Galloway Hills steps up in distance.
