      Verdict

      The rapidly improving KAYFAST WARRIOR won easily at Wolverhampton earlier in the week to land the hat-trick. He carries a double penalty today but is taken to notch-up another win before the handicapper catches up. Frog And Toad had every chance here yesterday and would also carry a penalty if successful while Kornflake finished runner-up over track and trip last week when ahead of Strangerontheshore and can figure again. There is little between Distinction and Kentucky Kitten on earlier running at Ripon and both have been well beaten since.
