Rippling River has run to a similar level of form in both starts so far and is taken to gain a deserved first success at the main expense of Mind The Style and She Wont Wait. The last mentioned stepped up on her debut effort when a close fourth behind Just Joey at Warwick. Mrs Crossy has a bit to find with She Wont Wait on Warwick form so is hard to recommend, while Bill Turner's River Prince is a relatively late foal and is probably best watched on his debut. Bill Turner's other runner Mind The Style holds more solid claims having run promisingly on his debut at Beverley but that was on a much softer surface than today and he may not be as effective on this ground. There should be no problems regarding the ground for Rippling River though and he gets the vote.
