It's interesting that Silvestre De Sousa rides Ripon fifth Authentication here as stablemate Finity Run appears to have form in better company. Both like to force the pace, as does Petaluma, so that may suit hold-up horses Mafeteng and IDYLLIC STAR over this trip with preference for the latter who was doing her best work at the finish at Kempton last time over 1m4f. Bohemian Rhapsody has bits of form that entitle him to respect but Regal Diva looks harshly treated on what she's achieved so far.
