7/1
Lightly-raced winner. Off 18 months (gelded in the interim) ahead of this handicap debut and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

5/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form third of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and he's now 1 lb lower.

13/8
Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Pontefract earlier this month. 10/3, fifth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. That was a Class 2 contest and he's a big player back in 0-75 company.

10/3
C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 40/1) 13 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once again off the same mark.

8/1
Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 8½ lengths eighth of 10 to Reigning Profit in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 15/2) 18 days ago. That run can be excused (always behind after anticipated the start and hitting the stalls) and he's lurking on an attractive mark.

Forecasts

Reigning Profit (13/8), Lotus Rose (10/3), Glory Fighter (5/1), Manila Scouse (7/1), John Kirkup (8/1), James Watt (10/1), Glory Hallelujah (20/1)

18:30 Ripon - 12 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

REIGNING PROFIT came up short in a Class 2 race at Goodwood last week but will prove a tough nut to crack back in calmer waters here. Indeed, Ruth Carr's charge was a decisive winner of back-to-back Pontefract handicaps prior to that and is taken to exploit this favourable mark (due to go up 6 lb). A line can be drawn through John Kirkup's reappearance spin and he could be the one for the forecast. Manila Scouse has been absent for 18 months but is worth a second look all the same.
