13:35 Ripon (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

OHARA's third over 7f at Ascot has a solid look and stepping up in distance could be an ideal move given his pedigree suggests the additional yardage should be highly suitable. Zooter, who was thrown in at the deep end when debuting in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, also looks ready for a mile after finding 7f too sharp at York. Mayaada and Karl Burke's newcomer Urchin are others to consider.

The step up to 1m should suit OHARA, who had the reopposing Suspended Sentence (second choice) behind him when third at Ascot.

14:10 Ripon (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

AL SHAHAM impressed when he was successfully introduced over C&D last month and the experience of this venue can only stand him in good stead. Gharma Sutra, who made all in a Ffos Las maiden on debut, was highly tried in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on his next start. This is more attainable and he is a strong contender. Gold Queen Kindly can shade Sword Maker for third place.

An interesting race. GHARMA SUTRA led for a long way in a 7f Group 2 last time and, back at 6f, is preferred to Al Shaham.

Havana Rum

12
12/1(+0%)
(15) Havana Rum 12/1, On a 15 race losing streak; expensive follow recently, failing to justify favouritism last three starts, but not disgraced on those efforts by any means; beaten 3/4l off 65 at Ayr last time; may be worth considering at the right price

14:45 Ripon (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Fortamour loves Ripon but has been well held in the two previous editions of this race, while It Just Takes Time boasts a C&D win off 10lb higher but only managed seventh in last year's renewal. Of more interest is WRECK IT RYLEY, who had It Just Takes Time back in second when he won over track and trip just under a year ago and appeals with a favoured visor replacing cheekpieces. Novello Lad, Hectic and Dicko The Legend are others with solid credentials.

Plenty of possibles but the best pace may be low and BAY BREEZE is preferred to Showtime Mahomes.

15:20 Ripon (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Richard Fahey lifted this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose courtesy of ROCK OPERA. Following a series of creditable runs in defeat, including when a close-up third at York latest, he appears to be coming to the boil and, from a handy draw, looks to have an excellent chance. Rousing Encore finished fourth in that York contest and must be respected given the manner in which he travelled that day. Others to note include First Folio and Mister Sox.

This renewal can fall to SUPREME KING (nap), who is in better form than his figures might indicate. Grant Wood is feared most.

(7) Carron 15/2, Second win in five career starts when travelled well and landing a handicap by a convincing 2 1/4l off 74 over 7f at Leicester last time; big chance of following up under Paul Mulrennan; should be bang in there

15:50 Ripon (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Carron had struggled in two previous handicap starts prior to scoring in comfortable fashion at Leicester and the three-year-old should be a real force. However, the veteran GARDEN OASIS is already proven around here with seven Ripon successes on his CV. Tim Easterby's charge arrives following a narrow Pontefract triumph and, from just 1lb higher, can enhance his impressive track record. Havana Prince is also noted.

Sole 3yo CARRON rather stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can deny Garden Oasis a third win in this race.

16:24 Ripon (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SPRING CHORUS won at Beverley in May and finished a resolute second back at the same venue last time. The daughter of New Approach should be refreshed by a short break and Michael Herrington's inmate looks to have a fighting chance off her current mark. Phaedra could land a blow back on her favoured ground, while Shielas Well is worth noting having won over 1m2f here in June.

Spring Chorus and PHAEDRA were in very good form in the spring and have been off since. Richard Hannon's 3yo is narrowly preferred.

16:59 Ripon (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

BAY DREAM BELIEVER was winning for the first time since landing this contest last year when scoring at Doncaster a fortnight ago. She looked to have plenty left in the tank and is one to keep on the right side of raised only 2lb. 2023 winner Little Ted was no match for the selection last term, so Scarriff may prove a bigger danger having won at Musselburgh in July.

2023 victor Little Ted should go well again but BAY DREAM BELIEVER is tipped to follow up last season's victory off the same mark.

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.

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.
