MANDOBI did not look the most straight forward of creatures at Ripon but he did respond to the riders urgings and his presence in this affair looks to have scared off most of the credible opposition. Heather Main isn’t a particularly regular visitor to this part of North Yorkshire so Mostly Sunny is worthy of closer examination. Planet Legend was far from cheap as a 210,000 euros purchase and this will be the handler’s first ever runner at the track. Robertthebruce was somewhat cheaper and has already had the unkindest cut of all.
