All roads in British racing result in Yorkshire for the subsequent eight days and whereas the £6.8m Ebor Competition at York subsequent week is the principle attraction, the £100,000 Nice St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon on Saturday, the characteristic occasion on the observe’s greatest afternoon of the yr, affords punters a tempting likelihood to limber up for the challenges forward.
Draw and tempo angles are normally the place to begin with a big-field dash handicap, however there may be little apparent bias within the draw at Ripon when the runners stretch throughout the observe and the sector is more likely to cut up.
Entrance-runners are usually favoured on the course, however there may be greater than sufficient tempo in Saturday’s race to counsel that hold-up horses like Summerghand, the doubtless favorite, will get an opportunity to unleash their ending kick.
Summerghand closed to inside a head of the front-running winner on this race final yr, when he was racing from an 8lb increased mark, so he goes to publish with an apparent likelihood on the guide. His greatest latest kind, although, is at seven furlongs, and on the doubtless costs, the four-year-old Dare To Hope (3.20) makes barely extra enchantment.
Richard Fahey’s gelding is a earlier winner over observe and journey, and has been dropped 2lb since ending tenth within the Stewards’ Cup final time, when he was wanting room at a significant stage.

Newbury 1.50: Sumo Sam was a good distance under her greatest when final of seven at Goodwood in Could however she has had a wind operation since and would have an apparent likelihood if anyplace near her profitable kind within the Group Two Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster final season.
Newmarket 2.05: Having bought off the mark on the seventh time of asking at Ffos Las earlier this month, Nice Interview could effectively be capable of comply with up on this quirky – and barely uncompetitive – occasion for greys.
Newbury 2.25: An extra tweak of the headgear noticed Myconian produce his greatest run of the yr final trip and he may very well be overpriced at about 10-1 on that kind.
Ripon 2.45: Glendown, 10-1 within the early betting, misplaced his maiden tag over this observe and journey final summer season and stays under his career-high profitable mark regardless of a return to kind at Pontefract earlier this month.

Newbury 3.00: George Boughey’s Spangled Mac has not proven a lot in two outings this yr however put up his greatest show of the season to win this race 12 months in the past (from a 4lb decrease mark) and has in all probability been aimed in direction of a repeat from a way out.
Newbury 3.35: Goodwood’s undulations didn’t seem to swimsuit English Oak final trip and he deserves one other likelihood to construct on his emphatic handicap success at Royal Ascot in June.
