Form lines from sprint handicaps the length of the country converge in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon on Saturday, including the well-run Scottish Stewards’ Cup at Hamilton in July won by the subsequent Stewards’ Cup winner, Commanche Falls.
Music Society, Mr Wagyu and Staxton – who were second, third and fourth respectively there – all line up, with Staxton, the winner 12 months ago off a 4lb lower mark, a few pounds better off at the revised weights.
