Lord Roxby, trained by Nigel Tinkler, is anticipated to perform well in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon on Saturday. The horse recently secured a victory over the same course and distance.
Apprentice Alex Jary is expected to ride Lord Roxby. The strategy is to position the sprinter near the front of the field before making a move in the final furlong, a tactic previously successful against Dark Cloud Rising.
In other races, Dubai Honour is set to compete at Newbury at 1.25, while Archduke Ferdinand is a contender in Newmarket's 2.10 "greys only" contest.
