Ripon 17:45 - w/o Talismans Time and Zimmerman

oddschecker Verdict

A busy period might have caught up with Zimmerman, who was ultimately well held when bidding for a four-timer at Chester. He does still merit respect as the sole C&D winner in this field, but TARBAT NESS is preferred. John Berry won the corresponding event in 2024 and his representative pushed a short-priced favourite all the way at Newcastle latest. Although yet to defy a mark this high, it might be that a similar level of performance will suffice. Talismans Time heads the remainder.

Prediction: 1st Tarbat Ness, 2nd Zimmerman, 3rd Talismans Time
