Ripon Races Ladies Day 20th June Handicap

Off time: 16:51 | Winning time: 1m 16.31s

(9)

Act Of Violence³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

5/1

Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7f, heavy, 9/1) 33 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 81-75

(8)

Raft Up²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: H Bethell| OR: 68| D

7/2

First run since leaving Harry Eustace when winning 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago, just holding on. 5 lb rise fair enough and he may well have more to offer.

Form: 08203-1

(6)

Mutasawi³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67

16/1

Winner at Kempton in February. 14/1, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 33 days ago. Opposable on the back of that low-key display.

Form: 26-3178

(3)

Better¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65| D

14/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. First run since leaving George Boughey when respectable fifth of 9 in seller (11/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Each-way shout.

Form: 051-475

(5)

Woodleigh²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 64

9/2

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft, 15/2) 28 days ago, merely closing up late. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 2466-35

(7)

La La Lucrative⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 61

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 11/1) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 633-62

(1)

Vintage Love²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 61

8/1

5/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 24 days ago, slowly away. Wouldn't be without an each-way chance if she puts her best foot forward.

Form: 3228-75

(2)

Ishe Worth Agamble²⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in nursery (40/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft). Off 8 months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 6499-

Non-Runners

War Memorial²²³

Weight: 9-6| Age: 3

T: M Dods J: Connor Beasley

Forecasts

La La Lucrative (15/8), Raft Up (7/2), Woodleigh (9/2), Act Of Violence (5/1), War Memorial (5/1), Vintage Love (8/1), Better (14/1), Mutasawi (16/1), Ishe Worth Agamble (100/1)

If able to build on his improved effort at Catterick last week LA LA LUCRATIVE will prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark. Raft Up also showed improved form when striking at Newcastle earlier this month and he is next on the list ahead of Vintage Love.
