        Verdict

        Ricksen hasn't done much wrong on Turf though looked as though a longer trip would suit when staying on over 1m2f at Beverley in September. He's changed stables and looks a threat to MOOHAREEBA. John Gosden's filly never got going after a tardy start here in March but warmed to his task in the closing stages and can make a successful return to action. Night Ranger started favourite for a 1m5f Huntingdon bumper last month but appeared to find the trip too far. He has plenty of pace in his pedigree though not as much as Affwonn, who is related to three winners up to 7f. Wannabe Betsy hasn't run for over a year when catching the eye at Chelmsford.
