14:46 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (1.75/1 +22%) Tropical Island	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(10) Tropical Island 1.75/1, Foaled February 4. £19,000 yearling, £135,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Jimmy Mark. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 7f-9f winner Incantatrice. Interesting newcomer for good yard. £135,000 2yo; yard 21% with 2yos here in recent years and she's an interesting newcomer.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +71%) Mutasawi	2 2/1(+71%)	(6) Mutasawi 2/1, Failed to build on debut second when fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. Worth another chance. Didn't fire on AW last time but his C&D debut form puts him firmly in the picture.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 +72%) Mirroring	5 5/1(+72%)	(9) Mirroring 5/1, Twice-raced filly. 14/1, last of 10 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 45 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Promising third at Yarmouth on debut but she was last of ten at Kempton (6f, AW) last time.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +52%) Drinkable	16 16/1(+52%)	(3) Drinkable 16/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good) 17 days ago. Needs another step forward. Showed some ability at Musselburgh but has plenty to find in this stronger race.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 +0%) Tropical Air	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Tropical Air 25/1, Last of 7 in minor event at Haydock (6f, firm, 10/1) on debut 38 days ago. Significantly more is required. Failed to beat a rival at Haydock and he's probably one for longer trips later on.
6th	1 6th (1) (5.5/1 +39%) Cast No Shadow	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(1) Cast No Shadow 5.5/1, Foaled February 10. 34,000 gns foal, £30,000 2-y-o, Ardad colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 11f winner Hard To Fault and 6f-1m winner Silk Cravat. Dam 7f winner. Much respected. Has speed and stamina in pedigree and market should guide on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 +50%) Good Morning Alex	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) Good Morning Alex 33/1, Twice-raced colt. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 17 days ago. Lots to find on form. Has struggled in two 6f events on fast and slow ground, with RPR of 31 on both occasions.

LTO Selection:

14:46 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over this distance at Beverley earlier this month, GOOD POINT looks the one to beat if reproducing that effort stepping up in class. He is fairly well related and the fact he is a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Decrypt means there could be much more to come. Mutasawi is surely a lot better than his latest outing suggests and he is feared most ahead of Mirroring.

TROPICAL ISLAND hails from a yard doing well with its juveniles and she's taken to go in at the first time of asking. Good Point has much the best form of those with experience and seems sure to be on the premises, while newcomer Cast No Shadow and Mutasawi need considering for minor honours.

Preference is for GOOD POINT, who found stacks of improvement with his bold bid at Beverley and sets a fair standard on that near miss.

15:20 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.1/1 +20%) Unequal Love	1.1 1.1/1(+20%)	(2) Unequal Love 1.1/1, Promising type. Won 7-runner maiden (13/8) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, comfortably. Capable of better again and leading claims for top Newmarket stable with a good record here. Comfortable win on her drop to 6f at Leicester 14 days ago and she recorded an RPR of 85.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 +26%) Elusive Angel	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(7) Elusive Angel 3.33/1, Shaped well when second on 6f Kempton debut. Still green when third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) since. Retains potential. Placed in both her starts and has leading claims on her debut form in May; key player.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Billyjoh	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(1) Billyjoh 2.75/1, 7/1, won 12-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Open to improvement. Made a bright start with his win at Doncaster three weeks ago; respected under a penalty.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 +0%) Havana Pursuit	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Havana Pursuit 50/1, 40/1, seventh of 10 in novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago. 40-1 at Doncaster (6f, good) on his debut last week and he finished a well-held seventh.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -39%) Haworth Star	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) Haworth Star 25/1, 33/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good, 33/1) on debut 61 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to progress. Well-held fifth at Carlisle on debut in May and has plenty to find on this drop in trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (400/1 -167%) Missmimi	400 400/1(-167%)	(10) Missmimi 400/1, Down the field in 2 outings over 6f in May. Tailed off at 125-1 in 6f maidens at Thirsk (heavy) and Redcar (good to firm) this season.
7th	8 7th (8) (8.5/1 -13%) Evenstar	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(8) Evenstar 8.5/1, Third on AW debut in December. Failed to progress from that when fifth of 10 at Chelmsford (7f) 2 weeks later. Switches to turf after 6 months off after wind op with a tongue strap added. Showed promise at 7f last winter but this looks tough on her return; had wind surgery.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -257%) Minack	50 50/1(-257%)	(9) Minack 50/1, Has shown ability both starts but possibly won't see the best of her until handicapping. Well held in two 6f maidens and will be more interesting when switched to handicaps.
9th	5 9th (5) (250/1 -67%) Enamay	250 250/1(-67%)	(5) Enamay 250/1, Big prices and well held in 2 starts 14 months apart. Has struggled at 200-1 in both his runs, most recently at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in May.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

UNEQUAL LOVE built on her racecourse debut to score over this distance at Leicester, and she left the impression that there would be more to come on that occasion. Her dam was Listed-placed during her career and, with more improvement likely, she can get the better of Billyjoh, who looked a smart prospect when scoring at Doncaster on debut. Elusive Angel looks the pick of the remainder.

There should be more to come from recent Leicester scorer UNEQUAL LOVE, who is preferred to fellow previous winner Billyjoh. Elusive Angel still looked green at Catterick and should also be thereabouts if close to the form she showed when second on her AW debut in the spring.

The vote goes to UNEQUAL LOVE, who scored in good style at Leicester two weeks ago and has plenty of scope for further progress.

15:56 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3.2/1 -7%) Baltic Voyage	3.2 3.2/1(-7%)	(4) Baltic Voyage 3.2/1, Fairly useful form. 7/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (1½m, good to firm) 24 days ago. Remains relatively unexposed now dropping back in trip. Well held in his three handicaps and he needs some progress back in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/1 +21%) Poet's Dawn	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Poet's Dawn 11/1, C&D winner. Close third over C&D off 2 lb higher in June and enough in his latest Beverley fourth to think he's still in form. Not discounted. Eight-time winner but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached.
3	2 3rd (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Casilli	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(2) Casilli 8.5/1, C&D winner. Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Has dropped to below last winning mark and there was enough in last month's Beverley fifth to think she may come good again soon. Has not been at her best in four runs this season and needs to raise her game.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +38%) Dungar Glory	10 10/1(+38%)	(1) Dungar Glory 10/1, C&D winner in June and followed up at Leicester (1m) 8 days later. Run of good form came to an abrupt halt when only fifth of 6 at Beverley last time, though. Started this season with two wins but was disappointing in hat-trick bid at Beverley.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 -129%) Cosmos Raj	8 8/1(-129%)	(3) Cosmos Raj 8/1, Built on last month's back to-form C&D second when going one better over 1m here 12 days ago. Ought to remain very competitive up 3 lb. Recorded his third course win when scoring over 1m last time; respected back up in trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +0%) Gareeb	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Gareeb 4/1, Winner at Southwell in April. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 8 to Dungar Glory in C&D handicap (good, 11/2) 31 days ago. Her leading stable has won this 3 times since 2013. 3yo who was a creditable third behind Dungar Glory over C&D last time; in the mix.
7th	6 7th (6) (2.75/1 +21%) Blueflagflyinghigh	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(6) Blueflagflyinghigh 2.75/1, All-the-way winner over C&D in June. Respectable fourth of 9 at Newmarket since. Emphatic win over C&D on penultimate run and he could kick on again back at this track.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -100%) Tabuk	20 20/1(-100%)	(8) Tabuk 20/1, All 7 starts for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland were on Dundalk's AW, ending his time over there with a 10.54f maiden win in March. New stable is among the winners. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations now switching to the grass. Won over 1m2f in his final run in Ireland; respected on his stable/turf debut.

LTO Selection:

15:56 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Dungar Glory was denied a hat-trick when stepping up in class for her most recent run and she could struggle off top-weight here, so GAREEB gets the nod. She is now 5lb better off with Dungar Glory for a two-and-three-quarter-length defeat over C&D last month. Tabuk makes a lot of appeal on his stable debut for Grant Tuer and adds further spice to the race.

An open handicap in which a final chance is given to BALTIC VOYAGE, with the drop back to 1¼m potentially in his favour. Cosmos Raj and Blueflagflyinghigh merit respect as recent course winners. Casilli has also tasted success here and is another who can't be dismissed having dropped back to a favourable mark.

This looks a bit tricky but recent course winner COSMOS RAJ gets the vote ahead of Blueflagflyinghigh and Tabuk.

16:30 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5.5/1 +27%) Mr Curiosity	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(6) Mr Curiosity 5.5/1, 18/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chester (11.3f, soft) 8 days ago. Will be a threat if able to build on that effort here. Caught the eye with his third at Chester and he looks interesting back up in trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.83/1 +45%) Chillingham	0.83 0.83/1(+45%)	(1) Chillingham 0.83/1, Promising sort. Latest win at Thirsk in April. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good, 11/1) 32 days ago, slowly away. Remains open to improvement and one to be interested in here. Has record of 3-6 and he could resume his progress back at this trip; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 -100%) Pride Of Priory	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Pride Of Priory 14/1, Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap (16/5) at this C&D (heavy) 84 days ago. Conditions are unlikely to be quite so testing here and no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. Has some questions to answer after a break and his peak form has come on fast ground.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -60%) Charging Thunder	12 12/1(-60%)	(5) Charging Thunder 12/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 7/1, good third of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time and, having slipped to a workable mark, he's not without a chance. On dangerous mark and was fair third at Ayr last time; could be in the mix in new headgear.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -27%) Dark Jedi	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Dark Jedi 7/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, firm, 10/1) 28 days ago. Bagged this race in 2021 but looks vulnerable for win purposes this time round. Has a patchy record but his last win was off this mark and he won this race in 2021.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -29%) Sir Rumi	9 9/1(-29%)	(3) Sir Rumi 9/1, Latest win at Epsom in April. 11/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (11.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Capable of a bold show provided he gets a strong pace to aim at. His form has cooled in last two starts and he needs to bounce back near best.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -38%) Thundering	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) Thundering 11/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 9/2) 21 days ago. Has edged down to an attractive mark but record stands at 0-8 on turf. Hasn't been at the top of his game this season and is now 1-12; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CHILLINGHAM went well for a long way in the Copper Horse Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, and he can strike on the drop in grade. A winner on his two previous starts over this distance, the unexposed four-year-old should have too much for the capable Sir Rumi and Mr Curiosity, who seems to be improving with each start since joining new connections.

None of these can be ruled out with confidence. MR CURIOSITY shaped as though his turn may again be near at Chester recently and he could be the answer. Chillingham is by no means fully exposed and looks a big threat on the back of his respectable effort at Royal Ascot. He is second choice, albeit only marginally as a back-to-form Pride of Priory would also have a serious chance.

The most striking contender is CHILLINGHAM (nap), who has a record of 3-6 and could resume his progress on this drop back in trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +45%) Another Batt	11 11/1(+45%)	(8) Another Batt 11/1, Course winner. 10/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 63 days ago. More needed. His last win was off 11lb higher but that was in October 2021 and he's 0-10 since.
2	14 2nd (14) (8.5/1 +29%) Golden Melody	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(14) Golden Melody 8.5/1, Got right back on song when second of 6 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Merits serious consideration off this mark. Runner-up off the same mark at Beverley last time and has claims if she can back that up.
3	15 3rd (15) (25/1 +38%) Cassy O	25 25/1(+38%)	(15) Cassy O 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. This looks tough. Never dangerous at Pontefract (1m) latest and losing run is now up to 15; others preferred.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +0%) Innse Gall	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Innse Gall 12/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Down in trip. Needs considering. Four-time turf winner who has a solid record this season and he's respected back in trip.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 +0%) Copper And Five	20 20/1(+0%)	(12) Copper And Five 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and in the picture. Ended a long losing run at Thirsk in May but has been well held in both runs since.
6th	7 6th (7) (8.5/1 -21%) Hortzadar	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(7) Hortzadar 8.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. 14/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 19 days ago. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 but return to this venue could spark a revival. Has record of 3-5 over C&D and he could bounce back with a big run back at this track.
7th	3 7th (3) (3/1 +40%) Spirit Catcher	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Spirit Catcher 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt eased 1 lb. Generally reliable 4yo who could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 +25%) Young Fire	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Young Fire 9/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in June. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 9/1) 13 days ago, not much room. Not ruled out. Has won three times this year and he didn't get any luck at Ayr last time; dangerous.
9th	1 9th (1) (12/1 -100%) Imperial Sands	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Imperial Sands 12/1, Latest win at Kempton in April. Good second of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 19 days ago. Could be in the shake-up. 0-9 on turf but was a clear second behind an improver at Pontefract last time; in the mix.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (9/1 +10%) Wobwobwob	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Wobwobwob 9/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can give a good account. All wins have been at 6f/7f and latest was off 3lb lower; looks vulnerable back up in trip.
10th	4 10th (4) (5/1 +9%) Baltimore Boy	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Baltimore Boy 5/1, Tenth of 15 in good handicap (33/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 14 days ago. Has good chance on form if shrugging off latest effort. Well treated on his best form but he's now 1-9 and has finished down the field last twice.
11th	13 11th (13) (22/1 +12%) Floral Splendour	22 22/1(+12%)	(13) Floral Splendour 22/1, Last of 7 in handicap (15/8) at Leicester (8.2f, good) 23 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Has a patchy profile and needs to bounce back again after a disappointing run at Leicester.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SPIRIT CATCHER may have disappointed at Sandown last time out, but he deserves a change in luck having been runner-up on his three starts prior to that. This track suits front runners, which should play to his strengths, and the son of New Bay is narrowly preferred to Pontefract second Imperial Sands and Baltimore Boy, who remains unexposed and open to improvement.

Plenty are in with a shout. GOLDEN MELODY has fallen in the weights and got back on track when runner-up at Beverley last time so edges the vote off an unchanged mark. Imperial Sands and handily-weighted Baltimore Boy appeal as the main threats to Tim Easterby's mare and can have a say too. C&D winner Copper And Five completes the shortlist.

1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 +35%) Thornaby Pearl	1.62 1.62/1(+35%)	(1) Thornaby Pearl 1.62/1, C&D winner. 7/1, respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and he's a leading contender here. On dangerous mark and he ran a promising race at Doncaster on recent return; in the mix.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 +36%) Zegos Surprise	7 7/1(+36%)	(7) Zegos Surprise 7/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 2 days ago. 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Fair fifth at Hamilton on Thursday but she's now 1-22 and is 5lb out of the weights here.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 -25%) Wreck It Ryley	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Wreck It Ryley 5/1, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 18/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers back on and by no means a forlorn hope. Ran well over C&D in April and was only beaten 2l at Pontefract last time; shortlisted.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +64%) Miss Willows	5 5/1(+64%)	(6) Miss Willows 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 22 days ago. Improvement needed. Still unexposed but she needs improvement on this switch back to turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 -100%) Glendown	5 5/1(-100%)	(5) Glendown 5/1, 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, all out. Should give it a good shot off this 3 lb higher mark. Got off the mark when making all over C&D 12 days ago; respected up 3lb.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +0%) South Dakota Sioux	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) South Dakota Sioux 7/1, Latest win at Wetherby in June. Tenth of 15 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Appeals as the type who will bounce back quickly. Can look good when it all clicks but he didn't fire last time and slow ground is a concern.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -65%) Strength 'n Honour	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Strength 'n Honour 33/1, Blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 11 in handicap (125/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Caught the eye with his late headway on AW last time and he looks interesting back on turf.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A determined winner over C&D recently, GLENDOWN should have plenty more to come off a 3lb higher mark. Tim Easterby's charge is a consistent sort at this level and he gets the vote ahead of Strength 'n Honour and Thornaby Pearl, who returned from a long absence with an encouraging effort over slightly shorter at Doncaster. Wreck It Ryley has only run the four times on turf and is another to consider.

Having shaped with encouragement on his recent reappearance at Doncaster, THORNABY PEARL looks the way to go. The 5-y-o evidently goes well here and is now 4 lb below his last winning mark. Glendown hit the target over this C&D last time and is clear second choice ahead of Wreck It Ryley and South Dakota Sioux.

An open race in which WRECK IT RYLEY gets the vote ahead of recent C&D winner Glendown.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
