UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Navy Light and Thai Ginger look the pick of the newcomers and any market support would have to be noted. However, it might be worth chancing BLUESTONE LADY in the hope that experience can win the day. She wasn't unfancied on debut at Beverley 10 days ago, despite getting a bit upset in the parade ring, and she's entitled to have come on plenty for that outing.
Prediction : 1st Bluestone Lady 2nd Navy Light 3rd Thai Ginger

ROMANCE SPIRIT should take a bit of beating in this maiden. She didn't get the perfect start on debut at Southwell but caught the eye overcoming that at the business end and her running-on second went down as a promising display. With improvement forthcoming, she gets a confident vote ahead of newcomer Triumph and the returning Miss Malone To You.
Prediction : 1st Romance Spirit 2nd Triumph 3rd Miss Malone To You

NO MORE BOLERO made no mistake on his return to Flat duty at Bath and, a winner over hurdles at Ludlow in November, it could be worth sticking with James Owen's charge while he's in this sort of form. Rupert The Prince was progressive in this sphere last year and is back on the level following a lacklustre hurdling display at Newcastle. He heads the list of dangers from Tarbat Ness.
Prediction : 1st No More Bolero 2nd Rupert The Prince 3rd Tarbat Ness

DANCINGWITHMYSELF gets the vote on the basis that she was in good form towards the end of last season and has picked up where she left off courtesy of a solid runner-up effort on her reappearance at Musselburgh. With a step forward, the C&D winner ticks a lot of boxes and makes more appeal than distance scorers Prydwen and Stressfree.
Prediction : 1st Dancingwithmyself 2nd Prydwen 3rd Stressfree

Course winner SEVEN QUESTIONS made an encouraging start to the season when third in this grade at Pontefract earlier in the month and was kindly dropped 1lb. With the Robert Cowell team in fine order, he looks the one to beat. Dream Composer lurks on an appealing mark on his first start for Tony Carroll and needs considering, while Newmarket second Dyonisos isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Seven Questions 2nd Dream Composer 3rd Dyonisos

The Sweet Escape went in by the smallest of margins at Nottingham on his most recent start and should mount a bold bid to follow up, but KISS ME MY LOVE makes more appeal. The daughter of Invincible Spirit caught the eye when outrunning her odds of 40/1 to finish fourth in a class 4 event at Southwell and, with Luke Morris taking over in the plate, she could be primed to strike. Highland Olly completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kiss Me My Love 2nd The Sweet Escape 3rd Highland Olly

Arishka's Dream has found one too good in both of his starts in handicap company and may fill that position again, this time behind VENCEDORA. Karl Burke's filly finished an underwhelming fifth over 7f at Southwell recently but the return to turf, along with this drop back in trip, might work the oracle. Blue Nguru got off the mark at Lingfield in December and may also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Vencedora 2nd Arishkas Dream 3rd Blue Nguru
