In depth
Verdict
Riknnah had been progressing well until beaten in better company than this at Newmarket and steps up in trip along with Epsom third Prince Of Bel Lir and Biggles. EMINENT HIPSTER disappointed at Windsor last time but it was soft going when Richard Hannon’s charge won a novices' race at the same track before that and he gets another chance with underfoot conditions to suit. Love Dreams also acts on the ground and may prove best of the remainder.
