Charging Indian success at Ripon

With the rain continuing to pour down conditions were very testing at Ripon, but Mick Channon's newcomer Charging Indian handled the ground and gamely got off the mark in the EBF Bishopton Maiden Stakes.

The 5-1 chance showed his inexperience early on and got behind, but gradually got the hang of things and kept on well in the closing stages to collar Black Attack right on the line to win by a nose.
