UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Right And Exact is hard to knock after winning his only start at Catterick by a head, but he will need to improve considerably to get the better of GOYARD. The latter improved for his debut second with an easy victory over 6f here, winning by nearly seven lengths, suggesting the drop in trip will not be an issue. Natural Force has been off for over two years but merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Goyard 2nd Right And Exact 3rd Natural Force

Although PEARL FORTUNE will need to be at her best to take this, she still looks the likeliest to come home in front. A five-length winner on her only start at Beverley, the Blue Point filly ran on well over 5f that day and could be a decent prospect. Rogue Temptation beat a previous winner at Haydock in July and warrants plenty of respect in receipt of 3lb from the selection, while Dandana is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Pearl Fortune 2nd Rogue Temptation 3rd Dandana

TIVA struggled to make an impression in a better event at York when last seen but her previous second at Thirsk suggests that she could be hard to beat in a race of this nature. Profitable Edge has not been at her best of late but should not be written off returning to a C&D she has scored over before, while Back Before Dark completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tiva 2nd Profitable Edge 3rd Back Before Dark

Having found only a progressive rival too strong over C&D in June, compensation could be on the cards for FIRST FOLIO. A 2lb rise for Julie Camacho's charge looks workable and a fifth career victory may beckon. Kodiac Thriller has posted a string of creditable efforts in defeat since scoring at Thirsk in May and is feared most, ahead of handicap-debutant Mandurah.
Prediction : 1st First Folio 2nd Kodiac Thriller 3rd Mandurah

Poet's Dawn dead-heated for first at Beverley six days ago and warrants respect on his follow-up bid. However, a 4lb penalty demands more from the veteran, which could leave the door open for DAWN OF LIBERATION. Ruth Carr's gelding arrives on the back of a close second at Pontefract and he makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark. The consistent Spioradalta can make his presence felt too.
Prediction : 1st Dawn Of Liberation 2nd Poets Dawn 3rd Spioradalta

GROUNDHOG has been knocking on the door in recent months and perseverance may pay dividends. A 2lb rise for his latest second over C&D could prove lenient and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Shielas Well continued her good run of form with a respectable third at Thirsk last month and is a feasible alternative, along with the down-in-class Precious Spartan.
Prediction : 1st Groundhog 2nd Shielas Well 3rd Precious Spartan
