UK Horse Racing Tips: Ripon

Stepping up to 10 furlongs coincided with a return to form for HARSWELL RIVER at Redcar. Beaten only a neck into second that day, her handicap mark is unchanged and with Cian Horgan removing a handy 3lb, she wouldn't need to find much more to go one place better. Baldosa was back in third and might prove to be the main threat, while Balmoral Boy is next best.
Prediction : 1st Harswell River 2nd Baldosa 3rd Balmoral Boy

Towelontheterrace made all to break his maiden at Chester but although that effort sets a decent standard, he will probably need to find more under a penalty. That's more than possible, but there has been no stopping Karl Burke of late and his Coulsty colt REFLECT ON GLORY, whose pedigree is all about speed, might be the answer. Pure Mint is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Reflect On Glory 2nd Towelontheterrace 3rd Pure Mint

There have to be some reservations about Fractional after she was turned over at cramped odds at Chepstow, and the same can be said about the ex-Irish Flawless Fusion, who finished down the field in a Listed contest at Hamilton on her stable debut. Princess Honey Bee has shown a solid level of consistency and should be thereabouts, but PROSPERITY gets the nod. Karl Burke's debutant is related to the stable's Group 3 winner Native Warrior and if anything like her half-brother, she should be good enough to land this.
Prediction : 1st Prosperity 2nd Fractional 3rd Flawless Fusion

Cases can be made for all of these, but marginal preference is for PAPER VIEW. Richard Hannon's gelding got off the mark in a Nottingham maiden nine days ago and that form suggests that a rating of 73 should be workable on his nursery debut. Eleven Eighty Two has been knocking hard on the door and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Harley and Empire Rising.
Prediction : 1st Paper View 2nd Eleven Eighty Two 3rd Harley

MASKED WARRIOR readily won a Kempton novice event before finishing third in a valuable contest at Chester on his handicap bow last month. With the prospect of further improvement likely, the son of New Bay tops the shortlist. Enchant may also progress now stepped up to a mile and Karl Burke's handicap debutant has to be noted. All of the remainder have claims, but Beyond The Bar is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Masked Warrior 2nd Enchant 3rd Beyond The Bar

WHAT A TAHOO has won two of her last three starts and a 3lb rise for the latest of those victories at Beverley may not be enough to stop her from following up. Zuffolo's third at Catterick earlier in the month gives him a big chance in a race of this nature, while Doralee edges out Brain Freeze to be next best.
Prediction : 1st What A Tahoo 2nd Zuffolo 3rd Doralee
