1528237 1 6 3YO only 17:05 Ripon 19 Jul 2025 Kevin Kai 20th Anniversary Handicap £5,234 1m Good to soft-good in places null Weak CAPTAIN CESS looks worthy of another chance with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Adrian Wintle's charge appeared to have the race at his mercy at Nottingham, but hung badly in the closing stages and the new headgear may well prevent a repeat. Groundhog has been threatening to open his account, having missed out by only a neck here last time, and makes more appeal than Hamilton third Epicurian Lad. PINK AZALEA did exactly what handicappers and punters hate when bolting up on her handicap debut having shown virtually nothing in two maidens and a novice. She has obviously gone up in the weights for that win, but still looks leniently enough treated and could follow-up. Captain Cess is also on a good mark and has been consistent so he should threaten and Groundhog came clear with the winner when beaten a neck here last time and should be in the mix.
