Ripon maiden winner Anushka Noo Noo will be hoping to fare better on her handicap debut than than Sandra's Secret did on hers. The latter won at Beverley but never figured at Thirsk last time while Outrank is another looking to improve now handicapping. Cuppatee beat little in a seller over 7f here last time but MON BEAU VISAGE (NAP) has been set a couple of stiff tasks in Class 2 company since making a winning start at Ripon in May. David O'Meara's colt will be more at home in this company and gets the vote.
