UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Prince Of Pillo made a pleasing start to his racing career when scoring over 6f at Ayr last month, but he will need to improve to get the better of NEW DEFINITION. The son of Invincible Spirit was just denied by a neck on his most recent run over this trip at Musselburgh and a repeat of that effort could make him a tough nut to crack. Wen Moon was a decisive winner over this course and distance recently and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st New Definition 2nd Prince Of Pillo 3rd Wen Moon

The application of cheekpieces could aid RIEVAULX RAVER's cause, who steps up in trip having run on for third on his most recent outing at Redcar over 7f. He has been gelded since his latest showing, which may also help him settle, but Ironopolis has every chance of building on his racecourse bow and seems a threat. Edge Of Darkness, Boy Douglas and Lerwick are all newcomers who are worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Rievaulx Raver 2nd Ironopolis 3rd Edge Of Darkness

Misty Grey recorded a comfortable win on his most recent run on the all-weather last month and only finished three-quarters of a length behind Laneqash in Listed company at Chester on his penultimate outing. However, BLACKROD was not disgraced in the Wokingham at Ascot in June and he could make his presence felt on his first run for a new stable. Snash arrives having won two of his last three starts and he is respected along with Justanotherbottle.
Prediction : 1st Blackrod 2nd Misty Grey 3rd Snash

With a strong pace all but guaranteed in this contest, things could work out quite nicely for PISANELLO, who likes to come from behind and nearly executed those tactics at Thirsk last month. David O'Meara's charge is marginally preferred to Award Dancer, who is two from three at a mile and will appreciate the return to this distance. Last year's winner Garden Oasis must also enter calculations off a 5lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Pisanello 2nd Award Dancer 3rd Garden Oasis

A convincing winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, BEARWITH gave the distinct impression at Carlisle that he needed further and the step up in trip is likely to bring about improvement. His form seems to be a level above the likes of Make A Prophet, who remains a maiden through 10 starts, and C&D winner Seven For A Pound. Another to consider is Skedaddled, who doesn't have much to find with the selection.
Prediction : 1st Bearwith 2nd Skedaddled 3rd Seven For A Pound

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to CITY VAULTS, who relished the step up in trip when getting off the mark over 1m2f at Ayr last time out. The son of Dark Angel may be able to continue his ascendancy, while Tiberio Force rates the most immediate danger after shedding the maiden tag at Nottingham. Foreshadow was fourth behind the selection last time and isn't one to discount back up in distance.
Prediction : 1st City Vaults 2nd Tiberio Force 3rd Foreshadow
