The going for Ripon on Thursday is currently described as heavy, so if the meeting is to go ahead, then it is imperative that there is not too much more rain.
Our five year old mare Storm Spirit goes to post for the 12 furlongs maiden stakes at 2.32.pm, with Billy Garritty back in the saddle. Storm Spirit who has shown good form in being placed in two all weather bumpers at Newcastle, has also ran well in two flat starts, including finishing nine and a half lengths behind the winner at Southwell last time. Storm Spirit who will need further in due course, faces testing going for the first time, and will be eligible for a handicap mark after this.
