16:20 Ripon

I know LOYAL TOUCH finished down the field at York last time but that was a decent handicap and he wasn’t disgraced beaten less than 6 lengths at the line. Prior to that he was half a length second to Tony Montana at Chester and that horse has since followed up at Windsor so that form has been franked. He is up 2lb but should still be well handicapped off a mark of 87 and looks good value to get himself back in the winners enclosure. Ey Up Its The Boss was an excellent second beaten just a neck on reappearance and then improved to win over C&D last time so is the danger but this won’t be easy shouldering a penalty. Baryshnikov won 3 starts back and if back to his best is another one that will be in the shake up.
