        Verdict

        MARACUJA attempted to make all at Ripon last time when stepped up to today's trip. She found Satellite much too good but finished ahead of the re-opposing Hesketh Bank and gets the nod to go one better. Clear Spell tries a longer distance having been placed in the all-weather on numerous occasions while better is expected from Private Dancer representing last year's winning yard. Of the newcomers, Archie's Advice is preferred to stablemate Wee Frankie on jockey bookings.
