Today's Horse Racing Tips

Ripon 15.45

Wide open 6f on the Garden Racecourse. Generally with the stalls on the stands side high draws fair best. However with field sizes of this size likely to be a split.

One we have backed for places, Richard Fahey's Rock Opera usually acquits himself well. However a typical hold up performer who needs a lot of luck coming off the pace here but likely to be doing best work late.

With most of the pace dawn low will take the far side to fair best and looking to Paul Midgley's ALMARADA PRINCE.

Not long into the yard after a brief spell with Ivan Furtado was significantly higher rated when with Craig Lidster and a best runner up at York in a C2 in 2024.

Two efforts so far on the AW have been encouraging enough to think he will have blown the cobwebs away and ready for this.

Yards only runner of the day and David Nolan doing the steering priced with 14/1 and the FIVE paying places this morning.
