14:05 Exminster

EXMINSTER was strong in the betting and impressed in making a winning debut in a Redcar novice (7f) 4 weeks ago, despite running green when hitting the front. There’s undoubtedly more to come and he can concede weight all round and make it 2-2. Allen Key and Mister Camacho, who was behind the selection last time, head up the dangers.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

14:40 Dynamic Force

DYNAMIC FORCE created an excellent impression when bolting up on his Ayr debut recently, and looks the type to go on to better things. He can maintain his unbeaten record, likely at the main expense of Taj Alriyadh, though To Everest is not dismissed lightly having fetched 70,000 gns after he breezed.

15:10 True Blue Moon

Those drawn high have ruled the roost in this race in recent years and TRUE BLUE MOON, who will emerge from stall 16, is worth chancing. Tim Easterby’s charge is now 1 lb lower than for his Hamilton success in May and shaped pretty well at Haydock recently. Ghathanfar has been a model of consistency this year and is set for another bold show, while Citron Major and Danzan are others to consider.

15:45 Staxton

Tim Easterby typically holds a strong hand and it may pay to side with last year’s winner STAXTON to emerge victorious again. He was not at his best at Goodwood, but his previous Hamilton form with several of these reads well, particularly on the revised terms and a return to this venue is a big plus. Mr Wagyu goes from strength to strength and is feared, along with Soul Seeker and Lampang.

16:20 Kettle Hill

KETTLE HILL quickly dispelled a lesser effort on handicap debut when going down narrowly to re-opposing Garden Oasis at York (7.8f) 3 weeks ago. 1 lb better off with that rival now, he gets the nod to come out on top with the prospect of more to come. Copper And Five is building up a solid record under Joanna Mason, going in again over C&D 28 days ago and he is also respected.

Ripon-Racecourse

16:50 Ms Gandhi

A competitive handicap despite the small-field, with the narrow vote in favour of MS GANDHI. She produced her best effort to date when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Newmarket (10f) 2 weeks ago, that despite lacking a bit of experience in a muddling affair. She can come out on top, with Myristica and Lasting Legacy heading up the dangers.

17:25 Two Brothers

Having confirmed himself fully effective on turf when runner-up at Ayr 2 starts back, TWO BROTHERS backed up that effort and would have finished closer still but for being hampered 1f out when fifth at Chester last time. He’s fancied to do better still and can go well now tackling 1½m. We Still Believe and George Bancroft rate next best. Uccello is worth monitoring in the betting for clues.
