Kirby Thomas Final Furlong Handicap
1m 1f
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneSir Jock Bennett and Rievaulx Raver both arrive in winning form, although the former only had three rivals to beat at Haydock and the latter had to share the spoils here. Sir Michael Stoute doesn't have too many runners at Ripon so it is perhaps significant that he sends FALCON NINE north, and the well-related son of Ulysses has been freshened up since his handicap debut fourth at Newcastle. Blueflagflyinghigh might be able to play a part too.
