13/2
C&D winner. 15/2, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago, well positioned. Only 2 lb higher and races in a lower grade here. One to consider.

2/1
One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Had made a bright start for this yard but found run of good form coming to a halt when eighth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

11/2
Lightly-raced sort ran right up to form (after 8 months off) when creditable third of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 11/1) 18 days ago. Likely to race prominently in a race lacking an obvious front runner. Respected.

Latest win at Newcastle in December. Left behind disappointing run on turf when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago, running on. Remains to be seen if he back that up returning to turf.

15/2
C&D winner. Thirty seven runs since last win in 2021 but halted the slide when 16/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. One to consider from career-low mark.

Still a maiden after 16 Flat runs but better than the bare result when 16/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 18 days ago, not clear run. Remains to be seen if she can build on that from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Again below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 7/1) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Bit to find from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Mr Jetman (2/1), Fifty Sent (5/1), Spring Festival (11/2), Copper And Five (13/2), Arranmore (15/2), Panama City (12/1), Annalee Lass (14/1), Obee Jo (16/1), Top Gun Tina (22/1), Curious Mrs Fox (33/1), Selby's Joy (125/1)

16:40 Ripon - 18 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

In a race without much pace on paper, the lightly-raced SPRING FESTIVAL is likely to be well positioned and he can step forward from an encouraging reappearance to get off the mark. Fifty Sent was below form last time but he's the type to bounce back and rates as the main danger ahead of recent winner Copper and Five.
