CITY WALK will try to give trainer Saeed bin Suroor a first success in the William Hill/MND Association Great St Wilfrid at Ripon.

The €115,000 handicap has not attracted a full field of 20 this season, with only 17 going to post.

As ever with big sprint handicaps, the draw could prove crucial and City Walk will be in stall three, which in the past would have been seen as a negative but two of the last three winners have come from a single-figure draw.

City Walk is relatively lightly for raced for an eight-year-old sprinter, but that is because prior to his run at Newcastle in June, he had the best part of two years off.
