Dakota Dawn

Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: J & S Quinn Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: £52,000 yearling; by Sioux Nation and the first foal of a twice-raced (RPR 44) half-sister to US 1m Grade 2 winner Up In Time; market instructive.

Mare Of London

Jockey: Callum Shepherd Trainer: George Scott Age/Wt: 2/9-2

1 tip

Comment: Sold for 40,000gns as a foal and as a yearling; by Havana Grey out of a triple 7f 2yo winner (RPR 90); yard is 3-5 with 2yo runners at Ripon in last five seasons; interesting newcomer.

Secret Hideaway

Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: A Keatley Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: Starspangledbanner half-sister to 7f winner Elsals (RPR 87); dam Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner (90), out of 7f 2yo Group 3 scorer; likely type judged on that female line.

Duchess Tattoo

Manila Scouse

Jockey: Amie Waugh Trainer: T D Easterby Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 1000-0 OR: 85

Comment: Useful on his day, winning twice last season (6f, good; 5f, good to soft); finished behind Venture Capital at Pontefract on his reappearance (raced wide) 18 days ago and like that rival he should be sharper for the run; likely to bag the stand rail from stall 6 and Amie Waugh takes off a useful 3lb; of interest for a yard that won this in 2022 and 2023.
