      Verdict

      Mytilda showed enough potential at Newcastle to be installed favourite at Ripon and looked like winning until Khunan swept past. The winner was only just beaten under a penalty at Pontefract on Wednesday and should be up to winning a little race like this though there are some newcomers here with eye-catching pedigrees. NABEELA, is bred to leave skid-marks. She's by Kodiak out of a 6f winner in Australia who is related to several Group 1 winners there. Big Boy Harley cost £65,000 and is another with a speedy pedigree while Bond Chairman cost 62,000gns as a foal and double that as a yearling being related to six winners and out of a 5f two-year-old Group 2 winner. Diamond Pearl cost 52,000gns and is a half-sister to three winners while Joyous Days is by Dandy Man out of a mare from a very speedy family.
