Back on track for current yard, opening account at Wolverhampton in February and also scoring in 7-runner handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago. Could still have more to offer returned to this longer trip.

Made all at Carlisle last summer and possibly still needed the run on second start this year when seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. May just be vulnerable to his younger rivals, though.

Seventeen runs since last win but made the frame on several occasions last year. After 6 months off, fifth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (10f, good) 9 days ago, though he's on a dangerous mark if stepping forward from that run.

Fair form in 3 starts so far, again shaping as if return to further will suit when second of 6 in maiden at Newcastle (8f, 11/1) in December. Interesting contender as he switches to turf for handicap debut.

Previously trained by the Gosdens and gained a first success for current yard when landing 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 9/4) in October. Major player with stable going well ahead of his return.

Improved form when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on handicap debut, but ran below that level when sixth of 10 at Lingfield (10f, 25/1) in January. Needs to find more back on turf with cheekpieces on first time.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton in November and made the frame next 5 starts. However, has finished down the field on turf last 2 outings, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 6/1) 26 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Made it back-to-back wins when scoring over C&D last summer and has returned in decent heart this year, third of 6 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 11/4) 15 days ago. Could be in the mix in her current form.

Winner for K. R. Burke on first start in 2024 but form has gone the wrong way, ninth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

20:05 Ripon - 9 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Having shown promise for current yard last summer, DUBAWI TIME doubled his tally with success at Yarmouth in October and he is taken to pick up where he left off with his stable in good form. He can see off the challenge of Mariner, who ran up to his best when winning at Doncaster 13 days ago, with Steps In Time also one to note.
