UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

A case can be made for all of these but preference is for SPARKLING RED, who hit the crossbar on all three starts prior to her impressive victory over 5f at Thirsk. A reproduction of that level of form would give Michael Dods' filly a big chance. Girl Magic has to be of some interest on her return from over three months off, while Raven's Up edges out Three Beauz to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sparkling Red 2nd Girl Magic 3rd Ravens Up

BRAZILIAN BEACH has not shown her very best form in recent starts but she dead-heated for victory off a mark of 69 at Haydock in June and that form gives her a big chance at this level. Katie's Kitten didn't appear to get home over 1m4f at Leicester last time but she should not be underestimated, while Lark Lane is another who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Brazilian Beach 2nd Katies Kitten 3rd Lark Lane

CASTAN got off the mark on his nursery debut at Musselburgh a couple of starts ago and he was not disgraced off this mark when last seen at Carlisle. Based on that evidence, Bryan Smart's gelding is arguably the one to beat. That said, Lukla put in a career best at Beverley last time and he remains open to further improvement. Others who could go well are Your Spirit and Kodi Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Castan 2nd Lukla 3rd Your Spirit

On the face of it, a 9lb rise might look harsh for GOOD REGAL's Epsom triumph but the race could hardly be working out any better, with the second rattling off a hat-trick since, so Ismail Mohammed's filly is fancied to go in again. Innse Gall ran well for third off this mark at Carlisle, while Berry Edge was just denied at Redcar and, off 2lb higher, looks set to give it another good go.
Prediction : 1st Good Regal 2nd Innse Gall 3rd Berry Edge

Bossipop continues to slide down the weights and it wouldn't be a massive surprise if he returned to winning ways, but preference is for MARK'S CHOICE. Adrian Keatley's sprinter ran a screamer when third here in the Great St Wilfred from well out of the handicap, and he's since gone close at Hamilton so could still be nicely weighted if remaining in form. Cottam Lane was second at Pontefract and might make the frame again off just 1lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Marks Choice 2nd Bossipop 3rd Cottam Lane

YOSHIMI was always doing enough when successful over 7f at Leicester last time and a 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Eagle Eyed Freddie sits at the foot of the weights and despite failing to complete the hat-trick when third at this venue latest, he must enter calculations. Safran and Motarajel also hold claims.
Prediction : 1st Yoshimi 2nd Eagle Eyed Freddie 3rd Safran

INFINITI remains in cracking form, despite failing to complete the four-timer at Doncaster latest, and with usual rider Aiden Brookes back in the saddle, she looks like the one they all have to beat. Purple Reign has been running consistently well for a number of months and he is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Prophesise is better than he showed at Redcar on his latest outing.
Prediction : 1st Infiniti 2nd Purple Reign 3rd Prophesise
