Ripon 5.30

 

It is more often than not the case here that a Rail draw either High or Low is beneficial, very occasionally one emerges off the side of a group and runs more down the middle, so it's always wise to cover the Draw angles.

 

Chester le Streak has the most market support, not surprisingly as its form is 4-1-2 this season, it's drawn in Stall 7 of 15 though and carries a 5lbs penalty, so opposable on a few counts. Dream Together is Drawn in Stall 14 so an obvious contender but I just think this horse is better on AW than turf and opposable on that logic at a tight price. One For The Ladies has form claims but many of the remainder are perhaps stretched by the trip, so I was left with a shortlist of 4.

 

WADES MAGIC drawn in Stall 3 ticks every box for Tim Easterby and David Allen and has been genuinely unlucky a few times recently, its really got no excuses here. FLAVIUS TITUS is drawn in Sall 13 and in decent form and Good or Good to Firm Going are optimal for this one and another who has no excuses.

 

They are my top 2 rated but with 15 runners and some enhanced places I think that a flutter on MISS WILLOWS at a bigger price may give a nice return. This one is dran 4 and could be running into form and fitness off a nice mark. GLORY HALLELUJAH may also be worth a shrapnel bet if you want the 4th option, drawn in 10 is not ideal but not the worst place to attack with scope to go either side IF a draw bias emerges earlier on and with a Distance win off a mark of 63 and a pair of third places loosk to be another running into some form.

 

Tips (1) Wades Magic / (2) Flavius Titus - (3s) Miss Willows (4s if you wish to enhanced places - Glory Hallelujah @ 10/1)
