UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Popty Ping ought to prove popular having struck the woodwork at Newcastle latest, but preference is for JUST A GIRL. The daughter of Bobby's Kitten was only beaten two lengths into sixth at Pontefract on her debut last month and is expected to take a step forward for the in-form Charlie Johnston yard. Daneh Of Dandy makes some appeal on paper ahead of her introduction.
Prediction : 1st Just A Girl 2nd Popty Ping 3rd Daneh Of Dandy

It looks best to side with MONETIZE. Bryan Smart's filly was never involved in a handicap at Thirsk last time out, but she finished a narrow second over 6f here the time before and would undoubtedly go very close if finding a return to that level. Balayaged should be on the premises in receipt of 2lb from the selection, while Angel Army completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Monetize 2nd Balayaged 3rd Angel Army

TESTIMONIAL has few miles on the clock and went close in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wetherby last month. Tim Easterby's charge was raised 2lb for that effort which looks fair and any further progress could see him go one place better. Others to note include Jesmond Dawn and Mr Jetman, with the former feared most on the back of his pleasing Redcar display.
Prediction : 1st Testimonial 2nd Jesmond Dawn 3rd Mr Jetman

A winner off 8lb higher at Sandown last term, EQUITY LAW ran his best race since joining Tim Easterby's yard when beaten less than a length into second at Thirsk latest. That effort suggests a return to winning ways could be imminent. High Opinion enters calculations judged on his third here last time, while Protest Rally and Dothan could both go well in an open sprint.
Prediction : 1st Equity Law 2nd High Opinion 3rd Protest Rally

Colinski won nicely on the turf at Lingfield last month and is preferred to Wetherby fourth Iwantmytimewithyou. However, GRAND HARBOUR also has plenty of scope for improvement and he makes most appeal representing last year's winning yard. The son of Haafhd looked to be crying out for an extra test of stamina when finishing strongly for third over 1m2f at Brighton.
Prediction : 1st Grand Harbour 2nd Colinski 3rd Iwantmytimewithyou

Tim Easterby bids to win this for the fourth time in succession, so SPRING CORN warrants serious consideration. The son of Ardad bounced back to finish a close second at Redcar in first-time cheekpieces and has the potential to rate much higher than his current mark. Sabrimento also showed marked improvement when runner-up on the turf at Lingfield, while Novamay returns to 6f with solid claims.
Prediction : 1st Spring Corn 2nd Sabrimento 3rd Novamay
