John Dunlop has been successful with his raids on Ripon prize-money in the past and he turns a high-ranking card with Latanazul, who is selected ahead of Jeer and Traditionalist, who make the most appeal from those with previous experience. The well-bred newcomer Muqadam also has to be given plenty of respect and he is sure to be a popular choice. However, the fact Sir Michael Stoute introduces the son of Rock Of Gibraltar at this level suggests the colt is well down the order in the three-year-old pecking order at Freemason Lodge. A market move would be tempting but it may be more profitable to resist on this occasion. Traditionalist will qualify for a handicap mark after this and is one for future reference. He steps up to a more appropriate trip today and a big run can be expected. Jeer improved from his debut run to finish second in a back-end maiden at Thirsk last September, so is also worth bearing in mind. He appears to like a little give underfoot, so nay rain would be a big help. However, Latanazul sets the standard for the time being and this daughter of Sakhee is fancied to hold all the aces in this company.
