Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse!
Managing Director US: The Racecourse, Boroughbridge Road, Ripon, HG4 1UG. (01765) 530530 info@ripon-races.co.uk www.ripon-races.co.uk
We have just three meetings remaining after today, the next of which is Bank Holiday Family Day on Monday 29th August. It’s a great opportunity to get the family together for some great racing, featuring the Listed EBF Ripon Champion Two-Yrs-Old Trophy and with the added bonus of lots of free entertainment for the children, a great value day out is assured. Very best regards.
We’re joined this afternoon by the Dacre and Summerbridge Silver Band so please head down to the bandstand and have a listen. Also please remember to stay well hydrated, you can acquire a glass of water free from all of our bars.
The William Hill Great St Wilfrid trophy has remained in Yorkshire for the last twelve years and with a very strong Yorkshire contingent again, including 2022 winner Justanotherbottle, there is a very strong possibility it will do so once more.
It’s fantastic to have the ITV4 cameras with us for our biggest day of the season, which features the William Hill Great St Wilfrid Handicap. We are proud to be William Hill’s longest standing sponsorship, this being the 29th consecutive year and it is with great anticipation that we wait to see who adds their name to the roll of honour shortly after 2.50 this afternoon.

RACE 1
Aconvincing winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, BEARWITH gave the distinct impression at Carlisle that he needed further and the step up in trip is likely to bring about improvement. His form seems to be a level above the likes of Make A Prophet, whoremainsamaidenthrough10starts,andC&DwinnerSevenForAPound.Another to consider is Skedaddled, who doesn’t have much to find with the selection.
WIN: BEARWITH DANGER: SKEDADDLED RACE 4
RACE 3
RACE 2
RACE In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to CITY VAULTS, who relished the step up in trip when getting off the mark over 1m2f at Ayr last time out. The son of Dark Angel may be able to continue his ascendancy, while Tiberio Force rates the most immediate danger after shedding the maiden tag at Nottingham. Foreshadow was fourth behind the selection last time and isn’t one to discount back up in distance.
TODAY’S TIPS
Prince Of Pillo made a pleasing start to his racing career when scoring over 6f at Ayr last month, but he will need to improve to get the better of NEW DEFINITION. The son of Invincible Spirit was just denied by a neck on his most recent run over this trip at Musselburgh and a repeat of that effort could make him a tough nut to crack. Wen Moon was a decisive winner over this course and distance recently and is another to note.
WIN: RIEVAULX RAVER DANGER: IRONOPOLIS
WIN: BLACKROD DANGER: : MISTY GREY
WIN: CITYVAULTS DANGER: TIBERIO FORCE
With a strong pace all but guaranteed in this contest, things could work out quite nicely for PISANELLO, who likes to come from behind and nearly executed those tactics at Thirsk last month. David O’Meara’s charge is marginallypreferred toAward Dancer,who is two from three at a mile and will appreciate the return to this distance. Last year’s winner Garden Oasis must also enter calculations off a 5lb lower mark.
WIN: PISANELLO DANGER: AWARD DANCER
The application of cheekpieces could aid RIEVAULX RAVER’s cause, who steps up in trip having run on for third on his most recent outing at Redcar over 7f He has been gelded since his latest showing, which may also help him settle, but Ironopolis has everychance ofbuilding on his racecourse bowand seems a threat Edge OfDarkness, Boy Douglas and Lerwick are all newcomers who are worthy of consideration.

RACE 5
Misty Grey recorded a comfortable win on his most recent run on the all-weather last month and only finished three-quarters of a length behind Laneqash in Listed company at Chester on his penultimate outing. However, BLACKROD was not disgraced in the Wokingham at Ascot in June and he could make his presence felt on his first run for a new stable. Snash arrives having won two of his last three starts and he is respected along with Justanotherbottle

HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

HOWTO READ THE RACECARD OFFICIAL BHA RATING
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. (AUS) Graham Gibbons
