William Hill/MND Association Great St Wilfrid Handicap

Ripon · 15:25 · Saturday, 15 August 2026 · 6f · Good · Class 2

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with Royal Zabeel or Lord Roxby setting the tempo from the front, given their recent performances in similar conditions and distance, though Musical Touch’s improved form at Southwell and York suggests he could challenge from midfield if the field settles. Lord Roxby stands out as the most compelling performer, having won a good-ground handicap at York and a C&D handicap 12 days ago, with a strong RPR of 117, a solid 119lb mark, and a draw of 6 that positions him well to contest the lead under Alex Jary’s ride. The main danger comes from Dark Cloud Rising, who showed top form in a recent C&D win and is well-placed at 15, while Fast Track Harry, despite a headgear change and a recent second at Ascot, remains a hard-to-oppose contender with a consistent RPR and a track record in deep races. Each-way appeal is present from Kodiac Thriller, who has proven his ability in tough conditions, and Manila Scouse, who has shown resilience in competitive fields despite a recent underperformance.
