RITCHIE VALENS drops into a class 5 for the first time since winning one for his previous yard back in 2019. He has run well here before, could come on for his recent outing and may benefit from the first time blinkers so has enough going for him to get the nod in a trappy finale. Tio Mio was well backed last time and he may have more to offer tonight. Star of Valour is next on the list.
