UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

MR JETMAN boasts the most convincing profile based on recent form figurers and, with the promise of more to come on just his second start over this trip, there are solid foundations for the gelding to build on after a near miss over C&D 10 days ago. Poet's Dawn also has some respectable C&D efforts to his name and is noted, while Bearwith is weighted to go well if staging a revival.
Prediction : 1st Mr Jetman 2nd Poets Dawn 3rd Bearwith

RESERVARDO, whose 6,000 euros price tag as a yearling shot up to 270,000 euros as a two-year-old breeze-up buy, impressed when just touched off in a maiden at Windsor 24 days ago. Runner-up on both previous starts, Zayer is the most obvious threat to the selection, although Kullazain and Another Abbot are interesting newcomers to bear in mind if either attract market support.
Prediction : 1st Reservardo 2nd Zayer 3rd Kullazain

TEES AGGREGATES was successful on his nursery debut at Leicester 27 days ago and is competitively weighted in his bid to follow up off just 4lb higher. Fellow previous winner John's Dragon can also continue to pay her way in handicaps and is suggested as the chief threat to the selection with first-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Nursery debutants Foro Romano and Brandywine Falls also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Tees Aggregates 2nd Johns Dragon 3rd Foro Romano

TWELFTH KNIGHT won this contest off a 6lb higher mark last term and hinted at a return to form when third over C&D last time. Paul Midgley's sprinter can edge this ahead of Another Baar, who scored at Doncaster before finishing second in a competitive handicap here. The veteran Muscika went agonisingly close at Epsom on his latest start and merits consideration, while Origintrail and Act Of Violence are others worthy of second glance.
Prediction : 1st Twelfth Knight 2nd Another Baar 3rd Muscika

CODE PURPLE arrives in the best form having won two of his last three outings. He remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for winning at Musselburgh on his latest start and looks worth sticking with. Makalu may well have finished closer than fourth here last time with clear run and rates a threat, while Lokana remains relatively unexposed and could go well off her current mark.
Prediction : 1st Code Purple 2nd Makalu 3rd Lokana

Last year's winner Spantik was eased down at Beverley on his belated seasonal debut behind the runner-up Bamboo Bay. The latter is one to consider, along with Catterick winner Myboymax, but the vote goes to TAILORMAN. Ian Williams' four-year-old came up against the progressive Godsend when second at Pontefract latest and can go one better returning to this lower grade. The lightly-raced Greenlightforgo steps up in distance and there might be more to come from him.
Prediction : 1st Tailorman 2nd Bamboo Bay 3rd Myboymax
