Verdict

RIDDIKULUS has been rejuvenated since the blinkers went back on and can bag a third win of the season on the back of a good Ripon second. C&D scorer Bollin Neil could emerge as the main danger ahead of Falaise Blanc in this tight-knit handicap.

7	Has found some improvement for reapplication of blinkers, scoring twice at Ripon in July. Posted another good effort when second of 13 in handicap there (1¼m, good to firm) last month. Should go very well again back up in trip. 1st Pick 7 Riddikulus Jockey: Oliver Stammers Trainer: Grant Tuer J: Oliver Stammers T: Grant Tuer	96	-	-	-	40%	6/4

3	Prolific Catterick winner who returned from 7 months off with a good second at Ripon (2m) in September. Possibly found the race coming too soon when seventh of 12 in handicap at Chester (2m, soft) 19 days ago. This C&D scorer can't be discounted. 2nd Pick 3 Bollin Neil Jockey: S. B.

8	Sole win came at Newcastle last August. Largely running with credit this season but a below-form fifth of 14 in handicap back at Newcastle (1¼m) 5 days ago. The sort to bounce back in a headgear change. 3rd Pick 8 Falaise Blanc (Fr) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Katie Scott J: Jason Hart T: Katie Scott	94	-	-	-	10%	10/1
