RASBERRY RIPPLE is rated 82 and wasn't far behind subsequent Rockfel runner-up Fadhayyil at Salisbury last time. The Hannon filly can get off the mark in this company. Slovak ran well on her racecourse debut at Wolverhampton and looks next best of those with experience. Stablemate Middle East Pearl and fellow newcomer Engaging Smile are worth noting but Noblest will probably attract more attention. She's a half-sister to Group 1 winner Peeress and it would be no surprise to see her figure on her debut.
