ROCKET RONNIE continued his good progress with a victory at Thirsk on Monday. A 6lb penalty is negated by Jordan Nason's allowance and the apprentice has already ridden a couple of winners at this track this season. Dandy Nicholl's charge is taken to confirm Thirsk running with runner-up Confusing while Red Charmer is now 9lb higher than last month's win at Hamilton. Shearian makes most appeal of the remainder unless Shagwa turns out much better than she showed on her belated reappearance at Nottingham
