Second to an odds-on favourite on his debut under Rules in a Chepstow bumper, JUST NO RISK may be the value against Hexham runner-up Nada To Prada. The latter, a winning pointer and bumper, didn’t find as much as expected off the bridle at the Northumberland track but still finished clear of the third. Franigane has hinted at ability but is having a first run since March. Triple Nickle, a winner on the Flat, may have most scope of her stable’s three runners.
