UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Previous C&D winner FORESEEABLE FUTURE heads the shortlist after making all to land a 0-75 handicap at Ayr 17 days ago, and must have a strong chance of following up off just 4lb higher with leading apprentice Benoit De La Sayette booked for the ride. Ben Macdui is dangerously well handicapped and is noted, while Canaria Prince and Van Gerwen are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Foreseeable Future 2nd Ben Macdui 3rd Canaria Prince

VALADERO, who was second in both the Brocklesby and a Thirsk maiden, has proven ability and can put his experience to good use in an attempt to make it third-time lucky. There are a few interesting newcomers in opposition, though, with Strong Request, a half-brother to decent sprinter Crispy Cat, the most appealing on paper. Asadna and Sergeant Mayer are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Valadero 2nd Strong Request 3rd Asadna

Ripon has been a happy hunting ground for William Haggas and the Newmarket handler can enjoy more success at the Garden Racecourse courtesy of the progressive MARKET VALUE, who made a pleasing reappearance when third in a decent novice stakes at Haydock last month. Stepping up in trip looks a good move for this half-sister to Evaluation, a useful staying handicapper, and a big run can be expected. Jo's Rainbow and Bosc Girl are the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Market Value 2nd Jos Rainbow 3rd Bosc Girl

MR BUSTER found only the progressive Wonder Legend too strong at Wolverhampton last month and, given the winner subsequently bolted up off a rating of 81, Ralph Beckett's charge appears to have been let in lightly off an opening mark of 80. Radetsky Marsch is likely to have more to offer now entering handicaps and isn't taken lightly, with the in-form pair Laser Guided and Roaring Legend also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Mr Buster 2nd Radetsky Marsch 3rd Laser Guided

PINAFORE made an encouraging return when fourth on her handicap debut at Newmarket last month and she looks to have a race of this nature within her capabilities. Coco Jamboo arrives here on the back of two solid efforts in defeat over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and she can be expected to remain competitive down in trip. Song Of Success could have more to offer this season and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pinafore 2nd Coco Jamboo 3rd Song Of Success

Runner-up on four of his last six starts, ISLE OF WOLVES deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions expected to be in his favour at a track that should suit. He is now 3lb below his last winning mark and that may be enough to see off the likes of Little Ted and Young Winston, who wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton last time out.
Prediction : 1st Isle of Wolves 2nd Little Ted 3rd Young Winston

This can go the way of STORMY PEARL, who ran encouragingly on her return at Redcar last month in a contest that has produced several winners subsequently. Rebecca Menzies' charge likes to be prominent and is drawn well in stall three, where she could take some catching. Well-bred Doncaster winner Highfield Viking can follow her home, along with Jack Of Clubs for the in-form Michael Dods team.
Prediction : 1st Stormy Pearl 2nd Highfield Viking 3rd Jack Of Clubs
