UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

TEMPER TRAP has secured a double recently and he is hard to oppose in his bid for a hat-trick, even with 5lb extra to carry. Jewel Of Kabeir showed a lot more on her return to the fray when third at Beverley last month and she goes off 1lb lower here. Chagall's success at Lingfield last time over 1m2f also gives him an obvious chance.
Prediction : 1st Temper Trap 2nd Jewel Of Kabeir 3rd Chagall

Seven Questions and FIGHTING WREN may dominate this race, with preference for the latter after her pleasing debut effort at York. The daughter of Showcasing showed signs of inexperience on that occasion and did well in the circumstances to finish fifth. Seven Questions brings solid form to the table but does have to carry a 7lb penalty for his win at Yarmouth. Any market support for the 36,000-pound purchase Spanish Rock should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Fighting Wren 2nd Seven Questions 3rd Spanish Rock

GRANNY BUDGIE failed to justify favouritism in a novice event at Lingfield last time, but she was far from disgraced in fourth on that occasion. The daughter of Massaat may be underestimated by an opening mark of 73, considering her debut victory at Nottingham. Alfa Whiteburd has decent form on soft ground and he could have a big say here. Of the remainder, Marie's Secret makes the most appeal on her nursery bow.
Prediction : 1st Granny Budgie 2nd Alfa Whiteburd 3rd Maries Secret

SEENDID struggled in a valuable handicap at Newmarket last month but a 4lb drop in the ratings, combined with these calmer waters, should only help William Haggas' colt. Baileys Khelstar is likely to prove popular after running a fine race in defeat at Yarmouth last Tuesday and isn't taken lightly off the same mark, with Dasho Lennie and Whispering Royal making some appeal too.
Prediction : 1st Seendid 2nd Baileys Khelstar 3rd Dasho Lennie

Latin Five has proven to be a consistent performer of late and is likely to be in the mix once again but preference is for SPANISH ANGEL. Ruth Carr's six-year-old won at Wolverhampton in July and can go one place better than his recent runner-up effort at Beverley. High Opinion was behind the selection in fourth that day and is a viable alternative, along with Malham Tarn Cove.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Angel 2nd Latin Five 3rd High Opinion

PROFITABLE EDGE finished a very respectable second on her seasonal/stable debut at Redcar in June and the daughter of Profitable appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to record a first success. Your Spirit has made the frame the last twice and a further 1lb drop in the ratings makes Paul Midgley's filly of interest too, while C&D winner Jazzagal may do best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Profitable Edge 2nd Your Spirit 3rd Jazzagal
