There may be more to come from One Putra now that he is gaining in experience and the three-year-old can extend what has been a good little spell for his trainer, Michael Jarvis. The predicted conditions at the overnight stage slightly favour Fruit Of Glory to confirm her superiority over Texas Gold and she is seen as the biggest threat, while any support for Intriguing Glimpse should not be ignored, as the Brooke Sanders-trained filly has fair each-way claims at the weights. Other previous course winners: Cape Royal and Night Prospector are also worth monitoring, as this course can be a revitalising tool for specialists and, with good prize-money on offer, it will not be surprising to see them make a bold bid. Texas Gold is a game and consistent character that has the speed to burn when he has his ground. However, he needs it like a road, so any rain will be a big negative for his chances. Fruit Of Glory, on the other hand, is versatile enough to cope with a bit of give underfoot and, as she comes here on the back of a gutsy win at Pontefract from earlier in the month, there are plenty of reasons to expect a big run again from her. Nevertheless, One Putra ran an absolute blinder in the Stewards Cup at the end of last month and will be extremely hard to beat with a similar effort today. With Phillip Robinson heading to Ripon for several interesting rides, the door is open for Richard Quinn to take the ride aboard the One Putra, who is fancied to make economical sense in a race that may well unfold to suit his style of running.
