0/12 on the Flat although his penultimate run gave some hope at least at this level with a third in a C&D seller. Failed to back that run up although that was in a 0-70 handicap and may do better dropped to selling grade again over a C&D he's run well over before.

6/4
Has edged down to a very attractive mark in handicaps but failed to take advantage of that fact at Hamilton in a lowly grade handicap last time over a mile. Ought to be able to go close in this grade and worth checking in the market for some shrewd connections.

5/1
Tried in a first-time visor in a selling handicap last time but that failed to bring about any major encouragement and he has work to do with most of these at these weights. Not sure the drop in trip will suit either and he's hard to like here.

8/1
Has raised hopes that he may be on the way back this year a few runs ago but hasn't really shown that much subsequently. Tried in headgear (cheekpieces) for the first-time last time out but they failed to coax any improvement as he descends to a basement mark.

8/1
Proving inconsistent and remains a maiden despite trying new headgear (blinkers) last time out having previously run all his races this year in cheekpieces. May get a soft lead here but question marks as to whether he can take advantage in his first seller.

9/4
Showed her first real form in a low grade handicap at Brighton on her debut in that sphere staying the 1m2f trip well. Failed to build on that dropped to selling company after a 51 day break although not disgraced last time out back in a lowly handicap.

Forecasts

False Id (6/4), California Cliffs (9/4), Percy Verence (5/1), Rockliffe (8/1), Permanent (8/1), Calypso Delegator (25/1)

14:50 Ripon - 29 August 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Not a contest to get excited about either as a spectacle or a betting medium with very few solid options here and it may pay to take a chance on the only filly in the field CALIFORNIA CLIFFS who hasn’t shaped badly in a couple of low-grade handicaps. Permanent would be dangerous if he gains a soft lead despite some doubts about his form with False Id another who has looked to show glimpses of form in handicaps and should find this easier. Calypso Delegator has run well here before but faces a tough task as the weight as do Percy Verence and Rockliffe.
  1. California Cliffs
  2. False Id
  3. Permanent
