WIZARA opened her account when stepped up to today's trip at Ripon. The Godolphin filly can follow up with more to come. She has Grendisar to beat in this as the latter went close over track and trip last time and makes more appeal than dual course winner Thwart. The latter is upped another 3lb after finding a couple too good at Windsor back in July but Lingfield winner Little Buxted has scope for improvement. It was heavy ground when Layline won at Ffos Las last month and he's also 10lb higher today.
