Equidae^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: I Jardine| OR: 64

7/1

Latest win at Ayr in August. 22/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 230158

Ralphy Boy Two^h1⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 60

7/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Below par in 3 outings since his 1m second here in May but he has been cut some slack by the handicapper. Hooded first time. Player if break sparks a revival.

Form: 8-82849

Temper Trap³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| CD

2/1

Took C&D record to 3-4 when seeing off 6 rivals at the start of the month. Caught too far back at Ayr on Friday and treated as if still in form. Respected.

Hot Team^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59| CD

9/2

C&D winner in May but he was only 4 lengths sixth of 7 to Temper Trap here last time.

Flying Moon³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Kieran Schofield| T: R M Smith| OR: 57| C

7/2

Course winner. 11/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) on Friday, better placed than most. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 545486

Tarnhelm²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Amie Waugh| T: W Storey| OR: 45

20/1

Untrustworthy individual who is now 22 runs since last win in 2020. Never involved at Ripon last time after yet another slow start and it's best to look elsewhere again.

Forecasts

Detective (6/4), Temper Trap (2/1), Paddyplex (11/4), Flying Moon (7/2), Ralphy Boy Two (7/2), Hot Team (9/2), Equidae (7/1), Tarnhelm (20/1)

TEMPER TRAP seems to go well here and has Ella McCain taking a handy 3 lb off so perhaps he can go in again. Detective has been a model of consistency at Carlisle this term and will be a big threat if as effective away from there. Ralphy Boy Two has been cut some slack by the handicapper since last seen so he could also have a part to play.
