Narrowly beaten here and at Kempton this year, You Little Ripper has travelled up again from Newmarket and will be hoping to shed his maiden tag this time but PENDLETON, a half-brother to the stable’s useful sprinter Holmeswood, found only one too good at Ayr and Redcar last year and may make a better three-year-old. Senorita Grande is out of mare that has produced winners with her first three foals to race but fellow newcomer Gunnison doesn’t have a sparkling pedigree. Delachance has been gelded since a modest first run over 7f at Newmarket.
