UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

78-rated Richard Fahey representative Selected sets the form standard on what he's shown so far, though it might be worth siding with SALSOUL, who showed good speed to lead for a long way at Hamilton last time and is drawn close to the stands' rail. The pick of the newcomers may be Michael Dods' Bobby's Rose, who is a half-sister to a juvenile sprint winner, and Owen Burrows inmate Asadjumeirah.
Prediction : 1st Salsoul 2nd Selected 3rd Asadjumeirah

ANGELS FACES needs to leave behind a lacklustre effort at Ayr on Monday if she's to figure but she makes plenty of appeal on her preceding second to subsequent winner Bal Mal at Musselburgh last month. Bring The Money is the one expected to put up most resistance now eased in grade, though this contest has an open feel to it and the likes of Invincible Bertie, who has recently undergone wind surgery, and Secret Identity, who wears first-time cheekpieces, could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Angels Faces 2nd Bring The Money 3rd Invincible Bertie

MASHMOOM showed the benefit of having her debut run behind her when striking at Chepstow three weeks ago and she can use that experience to her advantage to follow up. In Paradise shaped encouragingly over 7f first time out at Newcastle and could feasibly take a forward step now sprinting, while it would come as no surprise to see Hungry For Fashion go well for Karl Burke, given his fine record with juveniles.
Prediction : 1st Mashmoom 2nd In Paradise 3rd Hungry For Fashion

Equiano Springs has impressively notched a Newcastle/Newmarket double and warrants plenty of respect in his bid to complete the hat-trick, while the enigmatic Brian The Snail has every chance if arriving in the same form as when making a winning reappearance at Gosforth Park. Quick Look is a C&D winner and arrives following two solid efforts in defeat, but MUSCIKA gets the nod. He is due to go up 3lb in the near future after going close in a competitive York handicap last weekend and first-time blinkers could eke out that extra bit of improvement needed for him to score.
Prediction : 1st Muscika 2nd Equiano Springs 3rd Brian The Snail

VITARE sets a decent enough standard, rated 77, and dropping back from 7f is likely to suit after not appearing to get home at Catterick last time. He was touched off over this trip at Windsor on his penultimate outing and a repeat performance could suffice. Seas Of Elzaam is 7lb behind the selection on official figures but has a chance on the pick of his form, while Nearly A Gonna can hopefully leave his York-handicap performance well behind now dropping in class.
Prediction : 1st Vitare 2nd Seas Of Elzaam 3rd Nearly A Gonna

AL MUFFRIH returned to form when third at York last Saturday and has won after relatively quick turnarounds in the past for William Haggas, who has his string in fine form currently. The five-year-old just about gets this trip, and is fancied to prosper if handed a slightly more patient ride this time. The Trader finished third in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock last time out and should appreciate this return to a sounder surface, while Glencadam Glory, sixth in that event at 66-1, is also fancied to pop up soon.
Prediction : 1st Al Muffrih 2nd The Trader 3rd Glencadam Glory

KENSINGTON ART was beaten less than a length when sent off favourite at Musselburgh earlier this month and Richard Fahey's four-year-old appears the most likely winner off the same mark. Grandee has shaped with encouragement on all three outings since the restart and could appreciate the extra distance on offer here, while handicap debutant Rory And Me completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kensington Art 2nd Grandee 3rd Rory And Me

COTE D'AZUR wasn't disgraced when fourth in a competitive handicap at York last time and Les Eyre's consistent performer, who was also second at Beverley on his penultimate start, boasts sound claims in the finale. Union is the obvious danger following his second at Newmarket last month, while Strawberry Rock and Fishable are nice prospects and both make plenty of appeal now handicapping.
Prediction : 1st Cote dAzur 2nd Union 3rd Strawberry Rock
