Ripon Yorkshire's Garden Racecourse Handicap (Div I)
🤖 AI race preview
The race is likely to see a moderate to slow tempo with early leaders emerging from the front half, given the soft going and several runners showing early headway in recent runs, though the draw bias favours the front half with a strong presence from the 2nd and 1st stalls. Spirit Of Applause stands out on form, having consistently raced in touch with leaders and maintained strong forward pressure in three recent runs, including a second at Redcar and Pontefract under a headgear change that may improve its running, with a high RPR of 86 and a solid 129lbs weight that suits the going. The main danger comes from Yes Im Mali, who showed consistent ability in the centre and has a strong record of headway over 2f out, while Secret Guest, a first-time headgear performer with a 132lbs weight and recent improvement in the July run, offers a value each-way appeal despite a modest RPR.
