17:30 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (11/8 +39%) Do It Now	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(1) Do It Now 11/8, £60,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Good start in 5f novices, lack of running room meaning he wasn't seen to best effect at Musselburgh last time. Obvious claims. Similar form both starts; remains open to improvement and his chance is respected.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +33%) Triple Charged	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Triple Charged 3/1, Foaled March 11. Invincible Spirit colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Marsh Hawk (by Invincible Spirit). Newcomer to note for yard that has had them ready. First foal; dam placed 7f/1m (RPR 68), closely related to 5f 2yo winner Hairy Rocket..
7	7 (7) (17/2 -42%) Kallippos	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(7) Kallippos 17/2, 38,000 gns Kodiac filly. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to 7f/1m winner (including Racing Post Trophy) Elm Park and 9f/1¼m winner Brorocco, both smart. 7/2, hinted at ability under a positive ride at Beverley (5f) a fortnight ago. Should improve. Showed promise until weakening on debut; should come on for that and less testing ground..
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Hashtagnotions	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Hashtagnotions 12/1, 23,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Shumookhi and 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Chinese Knot. 11/1, bred to be sharp, shaped as if in need of the experience on debut at Wolverhampton (5f) last month. This should reveal more. Unable to get in a blow on debut; should come on for that; trainer back among the winners..
3	3 (3) (12/1 -100%) Combat Soldier	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Combat Soldier 12/1, Foaled April 26. Soldier's Call colt. Closely related to 1m winner Dirty Thirty and 7f winner United Force and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Desert Dreamer. Dam 11f winner. Closely related to winners over 1m and 7f; half-brother to 5f/6f winner Desert Dreamer..
6	6 (6) (12/1 -100%) Go On Rosie	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) Go On Rosie 12/1, 40,000 gns Dandy Man filly. Dam 2-y-o 6.3f winner. 12/1, showed plenty to work on amidst inexperience at Newcastle (5f) 7 weeks ago, the penny beginning to drop late on. That wasn't a strong race although the second won next time. Open to improvement. Third on debut, despite greenness; needs to step up on that bare form but that's possible..
4	4 (4) (16/1 -33%) Cuda Been A Rowlex	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Cuda Been A Rowlex 16/1, Foaled April 18. £20,000 yearling, Ardad colt. Brother to useful/ungenuine winner up to 6.3f Admiral D and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Ascot Grey and winner up to 7f Zoraida. Brother to useful 6f winner Admiral D (including 2yo); trainers had recent turf 2yo winner.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -129%) Sun Petal	16 16/1(-129%)	(9) Sun Petal 16/1, Foaled February 10. €28,000 yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to 1m/8.6f winner Nankeen and winner up to 9.5f Mellow Yellow and half-sister to 11.4f-13f winner We Know, all useful. Yard can ready them and she's one to note. Closely related to two winners and a half-sister to two others; market check suggested..
8	8 (8) (40/1 -60%) Innocent Settler	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Innocent Settler 40/1, €32,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (probably stays 1½m) Flying Visit out of useful 7f-10.5f winner Fionnuar. 10/1 and tongue tied, well held on debut at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Well beaten on debut; trainer won this last year (with debutant); big step up needed..

17:30 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The Adrian Keatley stable is in excellent form at present and DO IT NOW sets the standard on the back of some promising efforts in defeat at Kempton and Musselburgh. The booking of Paul Mulrennan is a plus and he gets the vote ahead of newcomer Combat Soldier, a half-brother to Desert Dreamer, who was a high-class juvenile three years ago. Fellow debutant Triple Charged and Kallippos are others to consider.

DO IT NOW has made a bright start in a couple of 5f novices and looks the obvious call in a very winnable maiden. Go On Rosie and Kallippos are dangers, with Triple Charged perhaps the pick of the newcomers.

With the stable's runners going well and some invaluable experience, perhaps DO IT NOW can notch a first win.

18:05 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (11/4 -57%) Princess Karine	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(1) Princess Karine 11/4, Made all with ease in a 5f Pontefract apprentice race (soft) last week. This is a stronger race but she still makes obvious appeal from the same mark. Made all for wide margin win at Pontefract (5f, soft) latest; escapes penalty; big player..
6	6 (6) (5/1 +90%) Kodi Red	5 5/1(+90%)	(6) Kodi Red 5/1, Ended 2023 on a low note and best watched on return unless the betting hints otherwise. Well beaten on his last three starts, giving him a fair bit to prove..
4	4 (4) (6/1 -9%) Mattice	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Mattice 6/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 16/1) on reappearance 15 days ago. Ought to go well again. Returned from a break to go close and if in that frame of mind he'll be involved again..
3	3 (3) (13/2 -8%) Paddy's Day	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(3) Paddy's Day 13/2, Latest win at Newcastle in November. Good second of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Equalled career best on reappearance; claimer back up; handy draw; player..
8	8 (8) (7/1 +42%) Thornaby Pearl	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Thornaby Pearl 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Doncaster in March. 9/2, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) 22 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Dual 6f course winner on soft; handicapper in control last two starts; more needed..
5	5 (5) (14/1 +0%) Vadamiah	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Vadamiah 14/1, Best effort of last year came when runner-up over C&D in September. First outing for 6 months and might be best to look elsewhere. Placed over C&D last year; front runner; has won when fresh; go well from handy draw..
7	7 (7) (14/1 +0%) Count D'orsay	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Count D'orsay 14/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 11/1) on reappearance 15 days ago. Others preferred. Dual C&D winner; handy mark; one of two engaged for a trainer who does well here..
10	10 (10) (14/1 -211%) Leodis Dream	14 14/1(-211%)	(10) Leodis Dream 14/1, C&D winner who made a successful return to action at Southwell (5f, 9/1) 31 days ago, kept up to work. Should remain competitive up 4 lb. C&D winner; made all to win at Southwell (5f, AW) when fresh last month; up 4lb; player..
2	2 (2) (16/1 +0%) Spring Is Sprung	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Spring Is Sprung 16/1, Bit below form seventh of 18 in handicap (18/1) at York (5f, good) when last seen in July. Got to be a chance he'll need this comeback run. Taken out on good to soft recently and drying ground would enhance his chance.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -10%) Foreseeable Future	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) Foreseeable Future 22/1, C&D winner. 12/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back on a good mark but need to see more. Dual C&D winner (good) but fair bit to prove based on his first two efforts this season..
11	11 (11) (33/1 -106%) Mereside Angel	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Mereside Angel 33/1, C&D winner. Lost her form at the end of 2023 but has been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper as a result. Placed on 2023 reappearance. C&D winner; drops 3lb for this return from a break but others push stronger claims..
9	9 (9) (33/1 -371%) Dark Kestrel	33 33/1(-371%)	(9) Dark Kestrel 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Much better effort at Newcastle (5f, AW) latest; not ruled out if able to repeat that..

18:05 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MATTICE, who signed off 2023 with a Beverley victory, is slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick following a narrow defeat there on his comeback and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a fourth career success. An impressive winner at Pontefract last week, Princess Karine can give him plenty to think about, along with Dark Kestrel, who went close at Newcastle on his latest start. Others to note include Leodis Dream, Paddy's Day and Spring Is Sprung.

PRINCESS KARINE escapes a penalty for her recent Pontefract success. This is a more competitive race, and a low stall might not be ideal either, but it's still likely Bryan Smart's mare will take a bit of stopping. Mattice and Leodis Dream can fight it out for minor honours.

Such was the dominance of PRINCESS KARINE (nap) last week that she is hard to look past given that she escapes a penalty.

18:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (Evens +50%) Ney	0 Evens(+50%)	(3) Ney Evens, In good form since joining Danny Brooke, winning at Southwell (2m) in February and scoring by 2 lengths back on turf at Catterick (1¾m) last week. A 5 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. Improved turf form when scoring (1m6f, good) latest; 5lb penalty but unexposed; player..
4	4 (4) (7/2 +13%) Michael's Pledge	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) Michael's Pledge 7/2, Placed 5 times in handicaps last season, including over C&D. Likely to be competitive if ready to roll after 7 months off. Unlucky over C&D last year; same mark; not fully exposed; could go well on reappearance..
5	5 (5) (4/1 +0%) Tarbat Ness	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Tarbat Ness 4/1, 11/4, respectable 4¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Ney in handicap at Catterick (1¾m, good) 10 days ago, inadequate test. Player back up at 2m. 1-20; well held by Ney when favourite at Catterick latest; more needed..
2	2 (2) (9/1 -100%) Bonne Vitesse	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Bonne Vitesse 9/1, Won this race last year. Fit from hurdling, merely passed beaten rivals for fifth over (1½m) but the return to this trip should see her in a better light. Not discounted. Won this last year (soft); trip too short when below par on reappearance; player..
9	9 (9) (11/1 +21%) Sugarpiehoneybunch	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Sugarpiehoneybunch 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable 6½ lengths seventh of 14 to Ney in handicap (15/2) at Catterick (1¾m, good) 10 days ago, staying on when badly hampered final 1f. 1m4f winner; recent efforts over marathon trips have not offered huge encouragement..
7	7 (7) (12/1 -50%) Lady Bracken	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Lady Bracken 12/1, Modest maiden who showed she can be competitive form her basement mark when placed around 2m at Ayr and Musselburgh last autumn. Been off 6 months. Better efforts give her each-way claims after a 1lb drop, if ready for her reappearance..
6	6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Ruler Of The River	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Ruler Of The River 14/1, Fit from hurdling but only 8½ lengths eleventh of 14 to Ney in handicap at Catterick (1¾m, good, 12/1) 10 days ago. Well beaten behind Ney at Catterick latest; up in trip; others preferred..
1	1 (1) (50/1 -52%) Oasis Prince	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Oasis Prince 50/1, 25/1, first run since leaving Mark Walford when last of 8 in handicap at Thirsk 6 days ago, weakening quickly. Last on last Saturday's reappearance at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft); more needed..
8	8 (8) (66/1 -313%) Schumann	66 66/1(-313%)	(8) Schumann 66/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) just under a year ago (final start for Richard Hughes). A watching brief is the percentage call up significantly in trip on first run for new yard. Workable mark but this longer trip needs to elicit a significant step up..
10	10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Bateau Bay	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Bateau Bay 100/1, Poor maiden on Flat. Pulled up on Southwell hurdle debut 17 days ago. Unplaced in 13 starts across both codes; best watched on her turf Flat debut..

18:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

NEY has been so consistent since joining Danny Brooke and arrives on the back of a taking success over 1m6f at Catterick. There should be plenty more to come from the six-year-old, despite his penalty, and he can uphold form with Tarbat Ness (fourth), who has just over four lengths to make up but is 5lb better off at the weights. Lady Bracken and Michael's Pledge are capable on their day and are likely to have a say in proceedings as well.

TARBAT NESS can turn around last week's 1¾m Catterick form with Ney, with the return to 2m promising to see John Berry's charge in a better light. Michael's Pledge was consistent in similar company last year and could also play a prominent role if fully primed after 7 months off.

Preference is for NEY. He is unexposed on turf and may be able to eek out enough to defy his penalty now back up in trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (2/1 +33%) Fortamour	2 2/1(+33%)	(2) Fortamour 2/1, Five-time C&D winner, including this race in 2022 (also second last year). Added to his C&D haul (heavy) 3 weeks ago and should go well again. Record over C&D reads 3311145422711; arrives in form and goes on the shortlist.
9	9 (9) (11/2 +31%) Showtime Mahomes	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(9) Showtime Mahomes 11/2, 9/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 10 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Decent record at this time of year and has run well here; one to consider from rail draw.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -78%) Trilby	8 8/1(-78%)	(5) Trilby 8/1, Won in the mud at Catterick and Haydock last month. Ground conditions are unlikely to be so testing this time but he's still respected as an in-form sort. On the upgrade on testing ground this spring; might need some luck from stall 3.
1	1 (1) (17/2 +15%) Another Baar	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(1) Another Baar 17/2, Not seen for 7 months but he won over C&D on his 2023 reappearance and is evidently capable when fresh. Has a tongue tie on for only the second time in his career. Won first time out last season and stable form has been good; is one to consider.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -10%) Westmorian	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Westmorian 11/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Respectable second of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, soft, 4/1) 9 days ago. Wins have come on Tapeta (0-9 on turf); regular partner Sam James rides Showtime Mahomes.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -20%) Pop Star	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Pop Star 12/1, 14/1 and tongue strap on first time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) in January. Off since. Cheekpieces back on. Turf winner in Ireland. Patchy for this yard since a wind operation; has headgear back on as he returns to turf.
13	13 (13) (12/1 +0%) Havana Rum	12 12/1(+0%)	(13) Havana Rum 12/1, Respectable 4¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Trilby in handicap (14/1) at Haydock (6f, heavy) 13 days ago, fading in the final 1f (may have still needed the outing. One to consider. Running fairly this spring but this tougher on drying ground and again goes without aids.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -75%) Heroism	14 14/1(-75%)	(6) Heroism 14/1, Fairly useful 6f winner for Clive Cox. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him on his first outing for a new stable. Gelded since picked up for 52,000gns; well worth tracking in the market.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +20%) Roundhay Park	20 20/1(+20%)	(3) Roundhay Park 20/1, C&D winner. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Hasn't shown much in two runs this spring but he ought to fare better back here.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +20%) Gis A Sub	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Gis A Sub 20/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) 68 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Regressive gelding; hasn't offered much in two runs for this yard following wind surgery.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -150%) Counsel	20 20/1(-150%)	(7) Counsel 20/1, Made a winning start for this yard at Lingfield (7f) in January. Creditable in-frame efforts in 2 AW handicaps since. Drops back in trip on turf return. Not discounted. Has only run in sprints twice; arrives in form but can pull hard and often hangs right.
12	12 (12) (20/1 -122%) Happier	20 20/1(-122%)	(12) Happier 20/1, Stepped up on reappearance when third of 5 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Won third time out last year, offered more latest and is on a fair mark; this is stronger.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -60%) Hoof It Hoof It	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Hoof It Hoof It 40/1, C&D winner last September. Well held on final 2 starts of 2023 and no great record fresh so far. Has the option of going far side from stall 1; nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh.

19:15 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

FORTAMOUR is officially 2lb well-in having landed a similar C&D event on heavy ground last month. Ben Haslam's eight-year-old, who took this prize two years ago, remains well treated judged on past exploits and with little concerns regarding quicker conditions, he can repeat the dose. Trilby has notched up two successes from his last three starts and must enter the reckoning, despite a 6lb rise for a Haydock triumph. Others to note include Westmorian and Another Baar, who won over track and trip on his reappearance last year.

FORTAMOUR has had the form of his latest C&D win boosted and is taken to enhance his fine record in this race. Trilby won't have the ground as testing as when gaining his 2 wins last month but is still feared as a thriving sort. Havana Rum shaped quite well behind Sam England's charge last time and also makes the shortlist.

Well suited by easy courses, SHOWTIME MAHOMES could be worth chancing. Five-time C&D winner Fortamour is shortlisted too.

19:50 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (9/4 +25%) Bearwith	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Bearwith 9/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in April. 9/2, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, soft) 9 days ago, very slowly away. Can get back to winning ways if he breaks on terms. Stable going well and he's kicked off his campaign with a bang; C&D winner; major player.
12	12 (12) (10/3 +33%) Life On The Rocks	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(12) Life On The Rocks 10/3, Third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 14 days ago. Back up in grade but still merits respect. More promise dropped to a Class 6 latest; has plenty of handicapping scope given old form.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +19%) Golden Melody	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(6) Golden Melody 13/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Better than result when sixth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Thirsk (8f, soft) 6 days ago, not clear run. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. One to take seriously from a handy mark. Been a while since her last win but conditions fine and she's capable off this mark.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -83%) Contrast	11 11/1(-83%)	(7) Contrast 11/1, 22/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 20 days ago, despite struggling to go the early pace. Should be suited by return to this trip, so he's one to consider. Promising return at Nottingham three weeks ago; drying ground not ideal.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -57%) Highwaygrey	11 11/1(-57%)	(2) Highwaygrey 11/1, 10/1, won 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 175 days. Remains well treated on old form and ran well first time out last season. Only 1lb higher than for his AW win when last seen in November; 175-day break the concern.
10	10 (10) (11/1 -57%) Berry Edge	11 11/1(-57%)	(10) Berry Edge 11/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 11/1, first run since leaving Michael Dods when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 20 days ago, missing break. Fairly treated if he can build on that. Promising stable debut at Nottingham three weeks ago; each-way shout off the same mark.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +14%) Sonning	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Sonning 12/1, 11/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago, hampered. Must improve on recent efforts. More promise at Beverley two weeks ago; more required to win but it's not impossible.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -33%) Dogged	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Dogged 12/1, Successful 4 times in apprentice/amateur riders' handicaps last year and not given a hard time at Pontefract on return. Came on plenty for his return last season, so not discounted back up in trip. Four wins last year, two of them here; back to a good mark; revival could be imminent.
9	9 (9) (25/1 +0%) Dandy's Angel	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Dandy's Angel 25/1, Last of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good, 12/1) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Five wins last year but she's yet to get going this year; need to see more.
3	3 (3) (28/1 -40%) Ballsbridge	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Ballsbridge 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f), unsuited by way race developed. Off 105 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hard to fancy. Hopes pinned on the new trip/headgear having a positive effect.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -250%) Star Start	28 28/1(-250%)	(8) Star Start 28/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, soft, 2/1). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on. Will probably strip fitter for this. Three handicap wins last year; can progress again this year but maybe not today.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +18%) Wath Court	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Wath Court 33/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 61 days ago. Up in trip. Others have achieved more. 100-1 and no improvement for switch to handicaps in March; new trip not enough to tempt.

19:50 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A chance can be taken on BALLSBRIDGE, who made little impact on his handicap debut over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in January. However, the switch to turf ought to suit, while his top-class dam stayed this trip well when a close-up fourth in the French Oaks. Bearwith might have bumped into a well-handicapped rival when filling the runner-up spot at Pontefract and he is respected from an unchanged mark. Contrast and Berry Edge are just two others to consider.

Having scored at Southwell in April, BEARWITH shaped as if still ahead of his mark when runner-up at Pontefract and, if he breaks better, he should be able to get his head in front again. Contrast is a danger back up in trip and Dogged should come on for his reappearance.

Life On The Rocks should go well but BEARWITH is fancied to continue Harriet Bethell's good run of form.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (7/2 +36%) Emu War	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(3) Emu War 7/2, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 5 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider. Might have been better drawn but is one of the likelier winners in first-time headgear.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +36%) Havana Prince	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(4) Havana Prince 7/2, Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, soft, 5/1) 12 days ago. One of few who arrives in form, so not completely dismissed. Landed the inside stall; exposed now but has been showing enough to be considered.
9	9 (9) (7/2 -100%) On The Bubble	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(9) On The Bubble 7/2, Hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, soft, 10/1) 8 days ago. Had plenty in hand and looks capable of defying a penalty. Revelation in first-time hood at Redcar last week; leading claims on that under a penalty.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -63%) Blufferonthebus	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(2) Blufferonthebus 13/2, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (6/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 18 days ago, kept up to work. Can make presence felt if she gets the longer trip. Half-sister to a winner over this trip; may improve again for the longer distance; player.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +60%) Made All	10 10/1(+60%)	(1) Made All 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Yard has been quiet of late and it may just be he started out on an unrealistic mark.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Marton Heads	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Marton Heads 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good, 80/1). Off 10 months. Seemed green as a 2yo so worth monitoring in the betting after 10 months off. Would want to see good support after ten months off before considering him.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +52%) Oceanic Wonder	16 16/1(+52%)	(8) Oceanic Wonder 16/1, 28/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Struggled since nursery second; was beaten a long way on his comeback a fortnight ago.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +39%) Indication Court	20 20/1(+39%)	(6) Indication Court 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f). Off 133 days. Went the wrong way last year, latterly in headgear; Blufferonthebus his yard's best chance.
11	11 (11) (22/1 -214%) Kingsford	22 22/1(-214%)	(11) Kingsford 22/1, 12/1, 7 lengths third of 12 to On The Bubble in handicap at Redcar (8f, soft) 8 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Was again beaten some way behind On The Bubble last Thursday; is drawn wide tonight.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Howard's Choice	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Howard's Choice 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 5 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 81 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Plenty to prove at present. Stll to get involved in a finish; the first-time tongue-tie will need a make a difference.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -100%) Emilshaan	28 28/1(-100%)	(12) Emilshaan 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11¼ lengths seventh of 12 to On The Bubble in handicap (18/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) 8 days ago. Behind On The Bubble and stablemate Kingsford at Redcar last week; hard to recommend.
10	10 (10) (33/1 +0%) Curious Mrs Fox	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Curious Mrs Fox 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will need to settle better than last time, back up from 7f, and is hard to make a case for.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -52%) On The Sherbet	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) On The Sherbet 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 10 in minor event (150/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has landed the outside stall and On The Bubble is clearly her trainer's best shout.

20:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ON THE BUBBLE must shoulder a 6lb penalty having cruised to victory at Redcar last week. Andrew Breslin negates half of that burden with his 3lb claim, though, and the unexposed daughter of Land Force can follow up. Emu War chased home a rapidly improving opponent at Hamilton and could improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces. Blufferonthebus, who won over 6f at Pontefract recently, could also have a say now upped to the mile.

ON THE BUBBLE left previous form well behind in a first-time hood when bolting up at Redcar 8 days ago and there's a good chance she can defy a penalty if the race doesn't come too soon. Blufferonthebus is an obvious danger if she gets the longer trip and Emu War can't be ruled out.

The step up in trip should be fine for BLUFFERONTHEBUS, who can defy a 5lb rise. Easy Redcar winner On The Bubble is next best.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
