Ripon 3.30 (UK time)
Ben Haslam’s mare posted her best effort of the season so far when third over this course at 6f back in May, and has had excuses for a couple of lesser efforts since (mark beginning to gradually ease as a result). She is now well handicapped on the pick of her form, and the booking of Paul Mulrennan increases confidence that she can bounce back to winning form at five furlongs.
Odds: 5.50
Today’s Value Angle
International Girl
Ripon 4.00 (UK time)
Richard Fahey’s sprint handicapper caught the eye when seventh in a huge field at York last time out, running on strongly late from an impossible early position (with her run repeatedly blocked at halfway). She has won 5 of her 27 career starts to date, including over this course and distance in June, and can swoop late here back in calmer waters under Oisin Orr.
Odds: 6.00
