UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

CORAJE has shaped encouragingly in two of her three starts to date and, dropped in class with first-time cheekpieces fitted, she rates the one to beat. Lily In The Jungle, who is also equipped with first-time cheekpieces, has plenty of experience under her belt and is capable of going close in a race of this nature, while Kodade cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Coraje 2nd Lily In The Jungle 3rd Kodade

HARRY BROWN has chased home a couple of useful sorts in both starts to date and a repeat of either of those performances would make him extremely hard to beat. Wen Moon made a pleasing debut over 6f at Carlisle last month and he warrants respect now dropped in trip, while 68,000-pound purchase Arnie Angell is worth a market check at least ahead of his debut.
Prediction : 1st Harry Brown 2nd Wen Moon 3rd Arnie Angell

WAIT TO EXCEL has improved in each of his four starts to date and impressively won a 1m1f Hamilton maiden last time. He now goes handicapping off a mark of 87 and looks like the one they all have to beat. Freak Out ran well after a slow start at Beverley latest and he merits consideration lining up off the same mark, while Gatecrasher Girl and Luminous Light are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Wait To Excel 2nd Freak Out 3rd Gatecrasher Girl

Course winner GLOBAL HEAT ran well enough last time when third at Windsor to suggest he can go close here. He's now 2lb lower than for that effort and plenty of his placed form in Group races at Meydan suggests he's more than capable of winning this off a mark of 99. Approachability is likely the main danger after a good second at Pontefract last month, while C&D winner Furzig is another to note now back down to his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Global Heat 2nd Approachability 3rd Furzig

An open race in which most of the runners can be given a chance. Marginal preference is for GRIFTER, who despite disappointing at Pontefract last month, can get back on track here with Oisin McSweeney taking off a valuable 5lb. Reel Rosie can go well after not appearing to stay over a longer trip here last month, while C&D winner Head Chef may appreciate being back at this venue after disappointing on his last two starts.
Prediction : 1st Grifter 2nd Reel Rosie 3rd Head Chef

C&D winner Appier is likely to appreciate this step back in trip after finishing third over 1mf at Yarmouth last time, but it may be worth taking him on with handicap debutant ROBERTTHEBRUCE. John Quinn's gelding showed enough over an inadequate trip at Beverley last time to suggest he can win races and will relish this step back up in trip. Gibside has been running consistently well recently and is another who can get involved in an open-looking race.
Prediction : 1st Robertthebruce 2nd Appier 3rd Gibside

Plenty of unexposed types here, but this can go to PEPSI CAT, who has bumped into some smart opposition on her three runs so far and can defy this mark on handicap debut now back up to 6f. Musical Mystery ran well when a neck second at Windsor last month, suggesting his turn won't be far away, while Murbih has been dropped 1lb since finishing second at Beverley 15 days ago and can finish best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Pepsi Cat 2nd Musical Mystery 3rd Murbih
