13:35 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -56%) Sameem	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Sameem 7/1, Successful from 5 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago and ended last season with success at Catterick (13.8f) in September. Entitled to be sharper for last month's Redcar reappearance and better showing anticipated. Won this off 5lb lower in 2023; should improve on last month's Redcar run; a contender.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 -57%) Rayena	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Rayena 22/1, 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Placed over 1m last season; pulled hard and tailed off on first go over 1m4f on Tuesday.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -471%) Stellarmasterpiece	20 20/1(-471%)	(3) Stellarmasterpiece 20/1, Winner over 9f in Poland who built on her yard debut effort in April when winning 11-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 9/2) 38 days ago, well positioned and asserting final strides. Started out from a low base so a 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent her from remaining competitive. Ex-Polish; two good runs at Catterick, winning over 1m4f there last time; chance.
4	6 4th (6) (150/1 -1150%) Heatherdown Hero	150 150/1(-1150%)	(6) Heatherdown Hero 150/1, Quirky sort. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (12.1f, soft) 22 days ago, steady progress from 2f out without getting on terms. Two good runs at Newcastle in March; not as good on turf and others look stronger.
5th	2 5th (2) (80/1 -2302%) Clifftop Heaven	80 80/1(-2302%)	(2) Clifftop Heaven 80/1, Made light of 18-month absence when taking 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) in May and backed that up when a creditable third of 12 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously. 2m Wolves winner in May; fair 3rd last time (good to firm); softer going not sure to suit.
6th	5 6th (5) (350/1 -5285%) Peripeteia	350 350/1(-5285%)	(5) Peripeteia 350/1, Course winner. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft, 10/3) 20 days ago, well positioned. Mark has eased a little more. Won over 1m2f here in 2022; fair run over 1m6f last time; well treated; better going suits.
7th	7 7th (7) (350/1 -7678%) Can Can Girl	350 350/1(-7678%)	(7) Can Can Girl 350/1, Temperamental sort. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022 but she ran well returned to Beverley when second of 9 in handicap (12.1f, soft, 5/1) 22 days ago. Finished placed on all 3 previous visits here and claims of hitting the frame again. Best at Beverley (2nd there last time) but has run creditably here and wouldn't rule out.
8th	10 8th (10) (400/1 -506%) Fast Deal	400 400/1(-506%)	(10) Fast Deal 400/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. Creditable second of 12 in handicap chase (20/1) at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Very modest Flat performer but has at least been in good form over fences this year.
9th	8 9th (8) (200/1 -2122%) Point Of Honour	200 200/1(-2122%)	(8) Point Of Honour 200/1, Third on return in this race 12 months ago prior to resuming winning ways at Catterick (12f) in July. Largely disappointing over hurdles thereafter for Craig Lidster and the betting may prove a useful guide now starting out for new stable after 7 months off. Won for today's rider last July; modest hurdles form after; stable debut after wind op.
10th	4 10th (4) (350/1 -1650%) Vallamorey	350 350/1(-1650%)	(4) Vallamorey 350/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 8/1) 55 days ago, ridden from 3f out and never landing a blow. Tongue strap on for 1st time and she's got a good bit to prove here. Ex-Chris Fairhurst; well beaten for new yard; return to 1m4f should suit; bit to prove.

13:35 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Tim Easterby and Emily Roberts have successfully teamed up in the last two runnings of this contest, including with Sameem 12 months ago, but he is 5lb higher this time around and has no margin for error under top weight. Brodie Hampson was on the scoresheet at Newbury last week and she can go well aboard CLIFFTOP HEAVEN, who made the frame off this mark when bidding for a hat-trick at Haydock and this may be a little easier. A 2lb rise for a Catterick success doesn't rule Stellarmasterpiece out.

Having made light of an 18-month absence to score at Wolverhampton in May, CLIFFTOP HEAVEN encouragingly backed that up when third at Haydock 2 weeks ago and he makes a good deal of appeal for a stable who do well in these races. Stellarmasterpiece has made a bright start for Micky Hammond and along with last year's winner Sameem, heads up the dangers. Can Can Girl also makes each-way appeal.

Last year's winner SAMEEN has conditions to suit him and is given the vote ahead of the former Polish-trained Stellarmasterpiece.

14:05 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (28/1 +44%) Capla Daviekins	28 28/1(+44%)	(5) Capla Daviekins 28/1, Foaled June 5. Ardad gelding. Dam placed at 1¼m out of winning half-sister to useful winner up to 1m (stayed 9.5f) Basil Berry. Doesn't make any great appeal on paper and best watched on debut. First foal of a very modest 12-race maiden for these connections; others appeal more.
1	3 1st (3) (7/2 -40%) Line Of Force	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(3) Line Of Force 7/2, Foaled February 1. Calyx colt. Dam unraced sister to useful winner up to 9.5f Turnberry Isle out of Cheveley Park/Lowther Stakes winner Rosdhu Queen. Leading yard operating at 27% with their juveniles so far this term and well worth a second look on debut. Sire and granddam offer massive encouragement for 6f at 2; yard's 2yos going very well.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 +14%) Stapleford Park	6 6/1(+14%)	(4) Stapleford Park 6/1, 20,000 gns foal, Ardad colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Tiger Bay. Shaped as if in need of the experience when fourth of 6 in novice at Chester (6f, soft) on debut 26 days ago. Open to improvement. Troubled start on Chester debut (6f); promise in staying-on fourth, but may want further.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/2 -64%) Lovely Spirit	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Lovely Spirit 9/2, Invincible Spirit filly. Produced promising first effort despite being held back by inexperience when third of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, soft, 3/1) on debut 23 days ago, finishing with running left. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and she's respected. Green late on but fine debut third at Redcar last month (6f, soft); can step up on that.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 +30%) Unthinkable	7 7/1(+30%)	(10) Unthinkable 7/1, Won 8-runner claimer at Beverley (5f, soft) final start for George Boughey last month. Just fifth of 8 at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 2 days ago. Looks ready for 6f. Beverley 5f claiming winner for George Boughey (soft); 4l fifth in a novice two days ago.
5th	11 5th (11) (25/1 +24%) Toota	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Toota 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, headway under 2f out before fading. Nurseries will probably be more her thing. Green and well held in fourth in two 5f Carlisle fillies' maidens (good to firm/soft).
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -60%) Glitter Code	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Glitter Code 16/1, Foaled April 22. 30,000 gns yearling. 50/1, offered something to work on when sixth of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago. Open to improvement. Over 7l sixth of 12 on last week's Salisbury debut (6f); likely more streetwise this time.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -150%) Shanti Shanti	25 25/1(-150%)	(8) Shanti Shanti 25/1, Foaled March 10. €22,000 yearling, Coulsty filly. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 7f, half-sister to useful winner up to 10.4f Company Asset. One to monitor in the market on debut for clues. Dam and granddam (at 2) both won over 5f and other sprinters in the family; appealing.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -57%) Shielas Well	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Shielas Well 22/1, Saxon Warrior filly. Clearly in need of the experience when seventh of 12 in seller at Chester (7f, good, 33/1) on debut 6 days ago, worst of draw. Should have more to offer. Got plenty wrong in a Chester seller on debut last week (7f), though still fared okay.
9th	1 9th (1) (8/1 -33%) An Realta Carraig	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) An Realta Carraig 8/1, €28,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. 12/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, steady headway 2f out and running on without being knocked about. Looks sure to improve. Eyecatching fourth on last week's Wetherby debut (5.5f, good); wiser now; player.
10th	6 10th (6) (11/1 +21%) Itsallaboutus	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Itsallaboutus 11/1, Foaled April 30. €16,000 yearling, Acclamation colt. Brother to 1½m winner Lancillotto. Dam, 1¾m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Grandeur. Speedy sire but stamina-laden damside; present optimum may take a run or two to determine.

14:05 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

AN REALTA CARRAIG caught the eye staying on for fourth after a slow start on his debut at Wetherby last week. He is expected to come on for that experience and this extra half a furlong should also suit. Adrian Keatley's colt is narrowly preferred to Lovely Spirit, who travelled well when third at Redcar first time out and the Richard Fahey-trained filly can take a step forward. Karl Burke's Line Of Force looks the pick of the newcomers.

A few of these shaped with promise on their respective debuts without setting the world alight so it may pay to side with a newcomer in the shape of LINE OF FORCE. He appeals on paper for a yard boasting a smashing record with their juveniles and is of real interest before the benefit of market clues. Lovely Spirit, An Realta Carraig and Unthinkable (if taking up this engagement) are next best.

Debutant LINE OF FORCE has major credentials for 6f at 2, whilst An Realta Carraig appeals most of those with experience.

14:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
11	11 (11) (25/1 -39%) Flavius Titus	25 25/1(-39%)	(11) Flavius Titus 25/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (6f) 48 days ago. On a fair mark if he can build on that. One-time smart sprinter; not as good these days but third on AW after a break last time.
1	2 1st (2) (9/4 +18%) Run This Way	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(2) Run This Way 9/4, 4/5 and visored for 1st time, won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 21 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Hurstwood, comfortably. Right at the top of her game and remains on a good mark, so hat-trick is on the cards. Has won her last 2 races both on soft, latest over C&D with a visor (on again); a possible.
2	3 2nd (3) (18/1 -64%) Impressor	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Impressor 18/1, 14/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, never nearer. Sliding to a handy mark and worth bearing in mind down in grade. Won 4 last term; fair run last time (5f, good) but behind Burj Malinka; soft going ideal.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 -57%) Canaria Queen	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(5) Canaria Queen 11/2, Latest win at Wetherby in April. 4/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Suited by some give in the ground and decent run last time but seems better at shorter.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 +25%) White Umbrella	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(4) White Umbrella 15/2, Scored at Wolverhampton in April. 3/1, only fourth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 28 days ago. Not one to write off. Running well this year, winning on AW in April; fair 4th on soft turf latest; a possible.
5th	9 5th (9) (25/1 -355%) Hurstwood	25 25/1(-355%)	(9) Hurstwood 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good 1¾ lengths second of 10 to Run This Way in handicap at this C&D (soft, 8/1) 21 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Won three times over C&D; good second to Run this Way (7lb worse off) here latest; chance.
6th	10 6th (10) (125/1 -1150%) Opal Storm	125 125/1(-1150%)	(10) Opal Storm 125/1, 14/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Can make her presence felt if the race is run to suit. 5f winner last term; good 2nd in 5f fillies' h'cap latest; interesting back up to 6f.
7th	7 7th (7) (450/1 -1025%) Greatest Time	450 450/1(-1025%)	(7) Greatest Time 450/1, 80/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Not firing at present. Second in a Newmarket maiden on debut; disappointing since; down 20lb; first run at 6f.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 -2400%) Burj Malinka	100 100/1(-2400%)	(1) Burj Malinka 100/1, Latest win at Thirsk in April. 3/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has been holding form well lately and this represents a drop in grade. 6f winner in April; in the frame off this 4lb higher mark all four starts since; chance.
9th	6 9th (6) (200/1 -1150%) Nights Over Egypt	200 200/1(-1150%)	(6) Nights Over Egypt 200/1, Winner at Thirsk in April. 14/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Can't be ruled out with the ground in his favour. 6f Thirsk winner in April but not done quite as well since; visor on for first time.
10th	8 10th (8) (250/1 -793%) Redrosezorro	250 250/1(-793%)	(8) Redrosezorro 250/1, 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Something to find on form. Has won ten races, nine of them at Catterick; mixed form this term (well beaten last time).

14:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RUN THIS WAY completed a double with plenty up her sleeve over C&D and, with conditions still on the testing side, she can continue to thrive by defying a 7lb rise in her hat-trick bid. Dangers abound in the shape of Canaria Queen, who was only held by a neck when second off this mark over slightly shorter at Wetherby, and Burj Malinka. The latter has been knocking on the door and also likes a bit of cut in the ground.

RUN THIS WAY is thriving and still looks well treated on old form so she's fancied to land the hat-trick. Burj Malinka is an obvious threat down in grade and Canaria Queen is likely to post another solid showing.

Runner-up to Run This Way over C&D last time, HURSTWOOD is taken to reverse the placings on these better terms.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (7/2 -40%) Up The Jazz	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Up The Jazz 7/2, Good second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 9/1) 14 days ago, switched last ½f and keeping on. Mark has crept up a little on the back of that but he's a player with a repeat. 7f nursery winner last time; good second when up to 1m1f last time; chance on that form.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -125%) Hortzadar	9 9/1(-125%)	(3) Hortzadar 9/1, Course winner who turned in best effort of the season after a 7-week break when second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Lines up here 2 lb below last winning mark if he can build on that. Races mainly over 1m; creditable second over 1m1f latest and fair form over 1m2f in 2019.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 -17%) Garden Oasis	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(4) Garden Oasis 7/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 10/3) 15 days ago, making all and proving determined when challenged. 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again back at this longer trip. Made all to win over 1m here latest; has won at 1m2f (June 2019); best on faster ground.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -100%) Very Excellent	40 40/1(-100%)	(5) Very Excellent 40/1, 125/1, run best excused when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 17 days ago, worst of draw and never involved. However, others arrive with more pressing claims in any case. Won over 1m2f on heavy last term; below par on reappearance; better on softer ground.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 -1718%) Ey Up Its The Boss	50 50/1(-1718%)	(2) Ey Up Its The Boss 50/1, Made a very bright start to the campaign, resuming winning ways in 10-runner C&D handicap in May prior to a good third up in class back over C&D 21 days ago. Of interest again. C&D winner last month, and third over C&D last time (not best of runs); a possible.
6th	6 6th (6) (350/1 -3400%) Love Warrior	350 350/1(-3400%)	(6) Love Warrior 350/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 27 days ago, a slow start leaving him on the back foot. Too soon to be writing him from steadily easing mark. 0-5 (2nd at York on debut); excuses for hefty defeat last time; has a bit to find.
7th	1 7th (1) (400/1 -1500%) Fountain Cross	400 400/1(-1500%)	(1) Fountain Cross 400/1, Fairly useful dual AW winner for Alan King in 2022. Missed whole of last season and returns from 20 months off having changed hands for 16,000 gns. Betting looks likely to prove the best guide as to expectations. Fair for Alan King; bought for 16,000gns in 2022; stiff task back from a 611-day break.

15:20 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

EY UP ITS THE BOSS was last seen finishing an excellent third after enduring a luckless passage in a stronger race over C&D and, off an unchanged mark, he should be tough to stop. Last-time-out course winner Garden Oasis may emerge as the main danger, for all that the step up in trip asks a question of him. Hortzadar has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and, off 2lb below his last winning mark, he cannot be overlooked lightly.

UP THE JAZZ is unexposed at this sort of trip and ran right up to his best when chasing home a rapidly-improving sort at Hamilton (9f) 2 weeks ago. He looks a big player with a repeat taking on his elders for the first time. Ey Up Its The Boss has thrived over C&D since returning in April and is feared most. Hortzadar is lurking on a handy mark and also worth bearing in mind.

It could be worth taking a chance on UP THE JAZZ after his creditable second to an in-form rival when up in trip at Hamilton last time.

1	3 1st (3) (8/1 -78%) Marine Wave	8 8/1(-78%)	(3) Marine Wave 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Hooded for 1st time, respectable third of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 22/1) 18 days ago. Not dismissed. Edging down weights & latest Hamilton 3rd was more encouraging; drying conditions a plus.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/1 -267%) Dakota Gold	11 11/1(-267%)	(4) Dakota Gold 11/1, C&D winner. 5/4, didn't need to improve to win 4-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, soft) 24 days ago. Mounting a resurgence at present and fancied to follow up. Veteran who has returned to form the last twice; should make another bold bid.
3	1 3rd (1) (18/1 -620%) Mr Wagyu	18 18/1(-620%)	(1) Mr Wagyu 18/1, C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Should go well again. On losing run but Epsom second his best run for some time; good claims despite 3lb rise.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -233%) Aberama Gold	20 20/1(-233%)	(2) Aberama Gold 20/1, Below form seventh of 15 in handicap (9/2) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. 4lb lower than for his Stewards' Cup win last summer; drying ground may help others more.
5th	7 5th (7) (300/1 -1775%) Bay Breeze	300 300/1(-1775%)	(7) Bay Breeze 300/1, 4-time C&D winner. 17/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Something to find on form. Four-time C&D winner; not found his best this year; tough race in which to revive.
6th	5 6th (5) (250/1 -1983%) Twelfth Knight	250 250/1(-1983%)	(5) Twelfth Knight 250/1, C&D winner. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Becoming well treated. Two C&D wins last year; on a good mark but yet to capture his best form this year.
7th	6 7th (6) (150/1 -3233%) Manila Scouse	150 150/1(-3233%)	(6) Manila Scouse 150/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, all out. Remains well treated on his best form. Back to form with front-running Hamilton win latest (6f, good); up 5lb but still respected.

15:55 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

DAKOTA GOLD is well into the veteran stage but added to his impressive CV when scoring gamely at Redcar, cutting out his own fractions before asserting close home. Upped 4lb, he gets the vote to make every yard a winning one once more. Marine Wave couldn't cope with a runaway winner when third over 5f at Hamilton, but that form has a solid look to it and she is not discounted now stepping back up in trip. Mr Wagyu is also respected after an Epsom near-miss.

Having shaped well in a competitive event at York, DAKOTA GOLD scored with something to spare at Redcar last time and remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so he takes preference over Mr Wagyu, who posted an excellent second at Epsom recently. Manila Scouse is also considered.

Marine Wave ran with more promise at Hamilton and can go well but MR WAGYU (nap) is preferred on the back of a fine run at Epsom.

2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 -33%) Filibustering	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Filibustering 3/1, 3/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Redcar (14f, soft) 23 days ago. Might need a good pace but can go well again despite an 8 lb rise. Redcar 1m6f winner latest (soft); nothing in hand after 8lb rise but remains of interest.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -193%) Carnival Day	22 22/1(-193%)	(4) Carnival Day 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in handicap (18/1) at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 10 days ago. Needs to up his game, but it's still early days. Exact present attainment level unclear; wouldn't settle on this month's handicap debut.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -167%) Continuance	8 8/1(-167%)	(3) Continuance 8/1, 11/1 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 20 days ago, suited by strong pace. Step up in trip should suit and he's very much of interest again. Up 10lb for ready Chepstow success latest (1m2f); chance if headgear works as well again.
5th	6 5th (6) (250/1 -1686%) Greenlightforgo	250 250/1(-1686%)	(6) Greenlightforgo 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Redcar (10f, soft) 23 days ago. Remains with potential back up in trip for handicap debut. Mark looks okay next to his Thirsk 1m4f novice fourth (good to firm); bit more needed.
6th	1 6th (1) (125/1 -525%) Freds Mate	125 125/1(-525%)	(1) Freds Mate 125/1, Lightly-raced winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 31 days ago. Has work to do. Still to kick on that much from October's Newcastle 1m novice success, especially on turf.

16:35 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Filibustering arrives on the back of a career-best performance having romped home over 1m6f at Redcar. However, the combination of an 8lb rise in the ratings and drop in distance may prove his undoing, with preference for fellow last-time-out winner MY NOBLE LORD. Michael Bell's gelding looked more comfortable making all the running at Yarmouth and a 6lb higher mark looks far from insurmountable. Chepstow scorer Continuance isn't easily dismissed either.

MY NOBLE LORD looks progressive and responded well to make all at Yarmouth last time, so he's taken to go in again at a track that suits those tactics. Filibustering and Continuance fit a similar profile having improved to score recently but that pair would be inconvenienced by a steady pace.

Still progressing at a sustainable rate, MY NOBLE LORD is taken to follow up ahead of fellow last-time scorer Continuance.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (9/2 +63%) Emu War	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(6) Emu War 9/2, 10/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Could be involved again if the race doesn't come too soon. No threat over C&D three starts back; fared better at Beverley latest, if fading late on.
1	5 1st (5) (22/1 -38%) Crown's Lady	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Crown's Lady 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, sixth of 7 in maiden at Catterick (6f, soft) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. One to monitor in the betting. Offered little at 1m on debut but likely needed it; fair mark judged on best run since.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -75%) Aspire To Glory	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Aspire To Glory 14/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft, 14/1) 23 days ago. May not have reached his limit yet. Dual 7f Polytrack scorer; okay recent turf return despite not settling; worth considering.
3	10 3rd (10) (12/1 +52%) Likleman	12 12/1(+52%)	(10) Likleman 12/1, Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 25/1) 17 days ago. Others are more appealing. 0-13; unimproved by 1m2f and a hood latest; bit more appealing around galloping tracks.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -1020%) Evelyn's Phoenix	28 28/1(-1020%)	(1) Evelyn's Phoenix 28/1, Winner at Redcar in May, beating Mambha. Evens, good second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Return to this trip will suit and he's very much one to consider. Beat Mambha a neck to win on Redcar handicap bow; two more personal bests in defeat since.
5th	4 5th (4) (40/1 -60%) Seahorse Syd	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Seahorse Syd 40/1, 66/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago. Up against it. Equally effective over 1m on turf or Tapeta at best; too fractious on both 2024 starts.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -1020%) Loose Tongue	28 28/1(-1020%)	(3) Loose Tongue 28/1, 6/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 20 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal again. Well enough on top at Chepstow latest (1m) despite sub-1l winning margin; 4lb rise is fair.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -257%) Whatwouldiknow	50 50/1(-257%)	(9) Whatwouldiknow 50/1, 18/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Needs to show he can back that up. 0-11; back on track at Beverley latest, to a point; just one go over a sharp track so far.
8th	2 8th (2) (250/1 -8233%) Mambha	250 250/1(-8233%)	(2) Mambha 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, good second of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Going the right way and this longer trip promises to suit. 3lb better off with Evelyn's Phoenix for last month's Redcar neck defeat; should stay 1m.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 -400%) Papagrey	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) Papagrey 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago, barely adequate test. May do better at some point. Mark looks more realistic eased 2lb, but needs to settle better this time than last (C&D).

17:10 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MAMBHA has posted two solid runner-up efforts over 7f since entering handicaps last month and compensation could await now upped to a mile. The daughter of Elzaam should relish this greater emphasis on stamina and she ticks the most boxes. The biggest threat may emerge from Evelyn's Phoenix, who has held his form well since beating the selection at Redcar, while Loose Tongue opened her account at Chepstow at the end of May and she likely has more to offer too.

MAMBHA is on the up and shapes like this trip could bring more out of her, so she might be able to get the better of old rival Evelyn's Phoenix. Loose Tongue is another one who arrives on the up and should feature.

A winner with something in hand last time, LOOSE TONGUE's 4lb rise seems pretty fair. Evelyn's Phoenix can chase her home.
