In-running (Farasi Lane (IRE))

“Missed the break - raced in the pack - driven approaching 3f out - angled left for room over 2f out - made late progress to close on the front-runner in the final furlong - responded well inside the final 110 yards - got the decision by a whisker close home”

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Cadarn

Cadarn is our selection for this Ripon Class 4 contest over a mile on good going, narrowly ahead at the head of our ratings after winning last time out. Jimmy Speaking, only a pound behind on our figures, is the most dangerous rival, with Farasi Lane and Ben Lawers both able to feature too. Confidence in Cadarn is low given how tightly this field is grouped on our book, though the recent win and the top rating give him a slight edge.
