Henry Cecil has endured a torrid campaign by his standards so far but La Scala can provide some light relief and end a frustrating run of form shown by runners from Warren Place. Many Thanks and Kituhwa are others who travel up the A1 with strong chances if the mount of Willie Ryan fails to deliver this evening. However, La Scala - a half-sister to useful miler, Entail - can be given another chance to redeem herself after a slightly disappointing effort at Windsor last time. She pulled too hard on that occasion and failed to get home as a result. This drop in trip should be more to her liking and La Scala can maintain Cecil's enviable record at Ripon. Kituhwa also represents a yard that does well at the North Yorkshire course and is taken to fill the forecast slot.
