17:25 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (5) GREY GRAY and 2.5/1 (1) HALA EMARAATY have the best chances of doing well. 9/1 (2) BACK BEFORE DARK and 14/1 (4) GRAY'S INN are also potential contenders. 8.5/1 (6) LADY DANDYLION and 14/1 (7) PATASOLA are less likely to perform strongly. It is difficult to predict the exact finishing order, but 1.88/1 (5) GREY GRAY, 2.5/1 (1) HALA EMARAATY, and 9/1 (2) BACK BEFORE DARK could finish in the top three.

GREY GRAY paid the price for a slow start on her debut at Bath and may have got closer to an impressive winner that day. Given that form has been franked since and she subsequently posted another encouraging effort at Brighton nine days ago, she can make it third-time lucky here. Hala Emaraaty appeals most of the newcomers and is one to monitor in the betting, while similar comments apply to Back Before Dark.

GREY GRAY arrives having filled the runners-up spot both starts to date, latterly at Brighton 9 days ago, and she can put her experience to good use and come out on top. Alice Haynes has made a bright start with her juveniles and newcomer Hala Emaraaty is one to note. Bazball is also worth a look.

Alice Haynes has her string in great nick and her Kodiac newcomer HALA EMARAATY is taken to make a winning start and deny Grey Gray.

17:55 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 1/1 (1) TALHA seems to have a good track record of finishing as a runner-up and has recently performed well even after a 6-month break. 2.25/1 (2) TAWALLA has also shown improvement and is open to further progress. 5.5/1 (4) HARRIET'S ANGEL is still green and has only raced twice, but has shown promise. With that said, my prediction for the top three would be: 1) 1/1 (1) TALHA 2) 2.25/1 (2) TAWALLA 3) 5.5/1 (4) HARRIET'S ANGEL (with an outside chance for 3rd place)

Richard Fahey is among the top three trainers at this course over the last five years and holds a solid chance of boosting that statistic with TALHA, who has finished second on each of her three pervious starts. Admittedly, she was well held on each occasion, but her performances were still encouraging enough to put her forward with a good level of confidence. Tawalla showed improvement last time and is feared most ahead of Harriet's Angel.

Tough to split these but TALHA has finished runner-up on each of his 3 outings so far and with further improvement not ruled out this looks a good opportunity for Richard Fahey's charge to go a place better. Tawalla was much improved from debut despite still looking a work in progress so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Harriet's Angel.

The vote goes to Charlie Fellowes' TAWALLA who can take another step forward after his Catterick second.

18:30 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in the top 3 are 16/1 (7) JAMES WATT, 6/1 (4) LOTUS ROSE, and 1.2/1 (3) REIGNING PROFIT. 16/1 (7) JAMES WATT has won this race before and has a good track record. 6/1 (4) LOTUS ROSE has been consistent and posted good results recently. 1.2/1 (3) REIGNING PROFIT has won twice this year and is expected to bounce back after a disappointing run in a Class 2 contest.

Stablemates James Watt, who won this off 10lb higher last year, and GLORY FIGHTER are hard to split on the pick of their form. However, the latter, who has also won off higher marks before now, edges preference based on him posting the more solid recent performances. Reigning Profit also enters calculations, while Manila Scouse has a long absence to overcome but also warrants a second look.

REIGNING PROFIT came up short in a Class 2 race at Goodwood last week but will prove a tough nut to crack back in calmer waters here. Indeed, Ruth Carr's charge was a decisive winner of back-to-back Pontefract handicaps prior to that and is taken to exploit this favourable mark (due to go up 6 lb). A line can be drawn through John Kirkup's reappearance spin and he could be the one for the forecast. Manila Scouse has been absent for 18 months but is worth a second look all the same.

The vote goes to GLORY FIGHTER who can build on an encouraging Doncaster reappearance 3rd and also represents last year's winning yard.

19:05 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, the horses with the best chances of finishing in the top 3 are 5.5/1 (7) EASTER ICON, 5.5/1 (3) TURNER GIRL, and Glory and Honour.

TURNER GIRL was an eye-catcher when staying on from off the pace over shorter at Catterick last month, and going up to 2m could well be the making of her. Ed Dunlop's filly is only 1lb above her last winning mark and she gets the vote ahead of Wolverhampton scorer Glory And Honour, as well as Yorkindness, who has performed with credit on both starts this year.

Cases can be made for several, but TURNER GIRL left her reappearance effort well behind at Catterick just over a fortnight ago so, provided she copes with this extra distance, Ed Dunlop's filly is fancied to double her career tally. Glory And Honour opened his account for the year at Wolverhampton last Wednesday and he should be in the mix under a penalty, along with We'll Go Again.

Sam England's hurdles winner WE'LL GO AGAIN can build on his Catterick fourth now now that he faces more of a stamina test.

19:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR and 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE seem to be the strongest contenders. 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR has won at this course before and is at a lower weight, while 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE has won five times at this course and is undergoing a headgear change. 5.5/1 (1) TWELFTH KNIGHT and 3.5/1 (7) COUNT D'ORSAY may also be worth considering for a place. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR 2. 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE 3. 5.5/1 (1) TWELFTH KNIGHT 4. 3.5/1 (7) COUNT D'ORSAY

The selection is FORTAMOUR, who was somewhat unlucky when coming clear on his side of the track when fourth over C&D last month. The seven-year-old won this contest last year off 5lb higher and he is handicapped to go well, with Twelfth Knight, a winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, looking best placed to chase him home. Count D'Orsay and Rich Waters are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

It's been a while since COUNT D'ORSAY last got his head in front but this is a lower-grade handicap than those he is used to contesting, and there were positives to take from his latest effort at Beverley. He gets the nod ahead of Fortamour, who likes it here and looks dangerous on the back of an encouraging effort last time. Twelfth Knight is best of the rest.

Ben Haslam's FORTAMOUR (nap) signalled he's ready to go in again when fourth over C&D last time out and can repeat last year's success

20:15 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st - 3.5/1 (6) BOLLIN MARGARET, 2nd - 5/1 (7) BIT OF A QUIRKE, 3rd - 7.5/1 (5) CEDAR RAPIDS.

BIT OF A QUIRKE has now dropped to 1lb above his last winning mark, which came over 1m4f at Leicester last July. He made most on that occasion so may well be ridden positively again over this shorter trip, especially when considering he posted a creditable run for third over this distance at Beverley latest. Bollin Margaret finished in fourth behind the selection last time and is noted, while Bushfire completes the shortlist.

BERTIE'S WISH is potentially well treated back on the Flat given his recent hurdling form and, with his stable very much among the winners of late, he appeals as the most persuasive option. Bollin Margaret endured a disappointing 2022 but has dropped to a handy mark as a result and caught the eye on her reappearance. Bushfire is still lightly-raced for Gemma Tutty and is another to consider dropping in grade.

Jennie Candlish's BERTIE'S WISH reverts to the Flat on a handy-looking mark after a productive spell over hurdles and gets the verdict

20:45 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st - 1.63/1 (4) ANNALEE LASS, 2nd - 5/1 (1) ZAKRAM, 3rd - 5.5/1 (5) RIBKANA

ANNALEE LASS rates a solid contender based on the pick of her all-weather form and she is fancied to make a winning turf debut here. She lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton last time, but the unexposed Centerstage has been gradually dropping in the handicap and should not be underestimated. Ribkana also warrants a market check.

Provided that conditions don't prove to be an issue now switched to turf, ANNALEE LASS will take plenty of stopping. She lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and, with just half-a-dozen starts under her belt, she may have more to offer. Barrolo appeals as the type who will raise his game now moving up in trip for this handicap debut and he is preferred to Ribkana for forecast purposes.

Lawrence Mullaney's ANNALEE LASS arrives on the up and with her Wolverhampton second having been franked she gets the vote.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
