Sydney Bay - 19:15 Ripon

Flag: Top rated, Horse in focus

Sydney Bay wasn't beaten far on his final start last season and shaped promisingly on his return and handicap debut at Redcar last month, not getting the clearest run through and doing all of his best work at the finish. That was over six furlongs, but he is very much bred to relish this step up in trip, and is fancied to progress a fair bit for it. He is more than capable of winning races from this mark and has a big chance now taking on his elders.
