Last Updated: 17 Aug 2025 05:00:26

OHARA's third over 7f at Ascot has a solid look and stepping up in distance could be an ideal move given his pedigree suggests the additional yardage should be highly suitable. Zooter, who was thrown in at the deep end when debuting in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, also looks ready for a mile after finding 7f too sharp at York. Mayaada and Karl Burke's newcomer Urchin are others to consider.

Top Tip: Ohara (7)
Watch out for: Zooter (10)

2024: (6 ran) Soldier's Heart ( 6 ) , Age 2 , Wgt 9-8 , SP Evens - Harry Davies / S & E Crisford

Forecast: 6/5 Gharma Sutra , 15/8 Al Shaham , 5/1 Gold Queen Kindly , 7/1 Sword Maker

Last Updated: 17 Aug 2025 05:00:27

AL SHAHAM impressed when he was successfully introduced over C&D last month and the experience of this venue can only stand him in good stead. Gharma Sutra, who made all in a Ffos Las maiden on debut, was highly tried in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on his next start. This is more attainable and he is a strong contender. Gold Queen Kindly can shade Sword Maker for third place.

Top Tip: Al Shaham (1)
Watch out for: Gharma Sutra (2)

Last Updated: 17 Aug 2025 05:00:27

Fortamour loves Ripon but has been well held in the two previous editions of this race, while It Just Takes Time boasts a C&D win off 10lb higher but only managed seventh in last year's renewal. Of more interest is WRECK IT RYLEY, who had It Just Takes Time back in second when he won over track and trip just under a year ago and appeals with a favoured visor replacing cheekpieces. Novello Lad, Hectic and Dicko The Legend are others with solid credentials.

Richard Fahey lifted this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose courtesy of ROCK OPERA. Following a series of creditable runs in defeat, including when a close-up third at York latest, he appears to be coming to the boil and, from a handy draw, looks to have an excellent chance. Rousing Encore finished fourth in that York contest and must be respected given the manner in which he travelled that day. Others to note include First Folio and Mister Sox.

Carron had struggled in two previous handicap starts prior to scoring in comfortable fashion at Leicester and the three-year-old should be a real force. However, the veteran GARDEN OASIS is already proven around here with seven Ripon successes on his CV. Tim Easterby's charge arrives following a narrow Pontefract triumph and, from just 1lb higher, can enhance his impressive track record. Havana Prince is also noted.

SPRING CHORUS won at Beverley in May and finished a resolute second back at the same venue last time. The daughter of New Approach should be refreshed by a short break and Michael Herrington's inmate looks to have a fighting chance off her current mark. Phaedra could land a blow back on her favoured ground, while Shielas Well is worth noting having won over 1m2f here in June.

2024: (9 ran) Bay Dream Believer ( 1 ) , Age 5 , Wgt 9-11 , SP 15/2 - Rhys Elliott / M Walford

Forecast: 11/4 Bay Dream Believer , 4/1 Tiberio Force , 9/2 Scarriff , 5/1 Young Fire , 10/1 Light Up Our Stars , 10/1 Warrior Lion , 10/1 Infantry Officer , 14/1 Little Ted , 25/1 My Honey B (Note: non-runners may affect prices)

Last Updated: 17 Aug 2025 05:00:31

BAY DREAM BELIEVER was winning for the first time since landing this contest last year when scoring at Doncaster a fortnight ago. She looked to have plenty left in the tank and is one to keep on the right side of raised only 2lb. 2023 winner Little Ted was no match for the selection last term, so Scarriff may prove a bigger danger having won at Musselburgh in July.

Top Tip: Bay Dream Believer (1)
Watch out for: Scarriff (7)
