UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Marginal preference is for THANKUAPPRECIATE, who has improved with each start despite showing plenty of greenness, and his form figures point towards today being the day. Jaxta hasn't shown much since getting the better of Betweenthesticks over C&D in May, and the latter is fancied to overturn the form now courtesy of a 7lb pull in the weights. Penalty Charge is a player based on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Thankuappreciate 2nd Betweenthesticks 3rd Jaxta

The obvious starting point is the recent clash over C&D between the likes of Peripeteia (first), Make A Prophet (second), and BEARWITH (third). Philip Kirby's filly has a 5lb rise to overcome for that victory and she may have a tough task of upholding the form with the last-named, who is 6lb better off for finishing just under three lengths behind. City Vaults and Cloch Nua are expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Bearwith 2nd Peripeteia 3rd City Vaults

One thing that looks guaranteed in this contest is pace and that could set it up for the progressive DUTCH DECOY, who is taken to uphold form with Bashosh (second), despite being slightly worse off at the weights for a short-head verdict at Newmarket. Course specialist Garden Oasis won this contest last year and must be respected along with Azano, who is a classy sort on his day.
Prediction : 1st Dutch Decoy 2nd Bashosh 3rd Garden Oasis

Shouldvebeenaring was produced perfectly by Sean Levey to justify favouritism in a big sales race at York and he seems sure to make a bold bid for his hat-trick. He may prove a big danger to AL KARRAR, who won his first start at Windsor before finishing an excellent second to Royal Scotsman in the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Bolt Action is turned out again quickly following his third in the Roses Stakes and he enters the equation as well.
Prediction : 1st Al Karrar 2nd Shouldvebeenaring 3rd Bolt Action

Enforced could find plenty of improvement for the application of blinkers and, as a three-year-old, there may be more improvement to come. Preference is still for COSMOS RAJ, the winner of two of his three starts here, including an easy C&D success at the start of the month, and another 5lb might not stop him following up for the O'Meara team. Value Theory must be considered closely too.
Prediction : 1st Cosmos Raj 2nd Enforced 3rd Value Theory

Aussie Warrior makes his turf debut after two placed efforts on the all-weather and he may well improve for the change of surface. If that is the case, he should go well but giving 5lb to NIGWA may prove a big ask. Beaten a head and a neck on her two starts, she deserves to get her head in front at the third attempt. French Romance may prove to be best of the rest, but she needs to improve.
Prediction : 1st Nigwa 2nd Aussie Warrior 3rd French Romance

MASQUE OF ANARCHY should be difficult to stop in pursuit of the hat-trick after he followed up his win at Beverley with another at Nottingham. Craig Lidster's gelding did it with something in hand that day and, under the same rider, he's fancied to add to his tally. Just Hiss has been running well of late and is fancied to chase the selection home ahead of Quoteline Direct, who was second in a similar contest to this at Pontefract.
Prediction : 1st Masque Of Anarchy 2nd Just Hiss 3rd Quoteline Direct
