Rory Delargy delivers Tuesday's Punting Pointers and he has two selections at Ripon and Wolverhampton.
Racing betting tips: Tuesday September 1
1pt win Kind Touch in the 15:40 Ripon at 11/2 (General) - min 5/1
1pt win Henery Hawk in the 19:30 Wolverhampton at 7/2 (General) - min 3/1
15:40 Ripon - Ripon Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse 6f
Reigning Profit would normally be the go-to horse here, given he’s 3-3 at Ripon but all three of those wins have come at the minimum trip and this will be the first time he’s tackled six since last October. There are a couple of runs on his card that say he does just about get six, but the fact is that his best form is at the shorter trip and he’s opposable as a result.
KIND TOUCH is unexposed, handles both ground and track and might well be the answer. He looked ill-at-ease trying Chester last time, but that track certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and it is worth remembering his debut win at two came here at Ripon, so the track won’t be an issue today. His best run to date came when second under a penalty on soft ground at Pontefract (winner scored again next time and remains unbeaten and the third was getting weight and is now rated 87) ; he’s yet to kick on from that, but remains totally unexposed as a handicapper, and there’s still plenty of time for him to improve again.
19:30 Wolverhampton - Get Raceday Ready Handicap 5f
HENERY HAWK is 0-25 on turf but 7-40 on the all-weather, and a return to Wolverhampton, where he’s a three-time winner already, can only be considered a positive. His latest success came here in April, he’s only a couple of pounds higher than that today, and with Tom Kiely-Marshall’s claim taken into account, he does look nicely treated today. He shaped a fair bit better than the bare result at Ayr last time to show that he’s running into form, and the likely strong pace is going to play to his strengths too, so all in all, he has plenty going for him here.
