Our columnist on his team for Ripon and Doncaster on Saturday.<\/p>\n
SaturdayRipon 14:05 By Jove Grace<\/p>\n
She ran well on debut at Carlisle but we\u2019re running her back in what looks a very strong race. It\u2019s a small field but there are a couple of previous winners in there. My filly will need to improve but she\u2019s entitled to, with the experience under her belt more than anything else. It will be interesting to see how she goes.<\/p>\n
14:40 Black Orchid<\/p>\n
She\u2019s a nice filly but one who\u2019s been a bit immature. She\u2019s coming together now and definitely improved from her debut to her second start and can go forward again. I think she\u2019ll run well providing the ground isn\u2019t too fast for her. To be fair Ripon did a great job with at their last meeting so fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
15:15 Yafreh<\/p>\n
A big backward horse who is going to be a very nice four-year-old next season. He\u2019s running to a decent level now and I was pleased with him on handicap debut at Thirsk last time. He\u2019s still learning and it\u2019s still all about the future a little with him still.<\/p>\n
17:03 Aurelune<\/p>\n
She\u2019s just so laidback it\u2019s taking an age for the penny to drop. I was pleased to see her finish her race off well at Leicester last time which offers hope we\u2019re getting there and I never thought we\u2019d be running in this sort of grade with what we see at home. She\u2019s definitely going to be winning races, and I think she can run very well in this.<\/p>\n
Doncaster18:45 First Time<\/p>\n
This is a horse we like. He was a bit unlucky at Chester last time having been shuffled back at a crucial stage and finishing well. He\u2019ll go well at Doncaster but I\u2019m just a little worried about the draw in one. I\u2019d rather be in and amongst them.<\/p>\n
