3:28 Ripon: Ripon Cathedral City Of The Dales Handicap Stakes

Dark Thirty Jake Dickson(5) · John & Sean Quinn

Third last time out and a winner five starts back, Dark Thirty brings strong recent experience of today's trip and going, and his 102 rating heads this 12-runner field; 140 lb is no gimme, but he returns on a sharp 13-day turnaround looking fit enough to go close.

Trefor Oisin Orr · Charles Hills

Trefor won two starts back but has been unplaced either side of that effort, making his recent form inconsistent; he has run over today's distance and going before, and 38 days between starts leaves his fitness an open question.

Indian Run Ryan Sexton · Julie Camacho

Placed third last time out and third two starts back, with a win three starts back over today's trip and going, Indian Run arrives here with solid recent form and a rating of 96 to underpin his claims; the main risk is a trainer without a winner in 25 attempts over the past fortnight.

I'm Next David Allan · Tim Easterby

Beaten fifth last time out and unplaced two starts back, I'm Next has struggled for consistency in recent starts despite back-to-back wins deeper in his form, and ranked ninth of twelve on our figures he faces a stiff ask off 130 lb here, though he does arrive on a quick turnaround with distance and going experience in his favour.

Schrodinger's Cat Oliver Stammers · Grant Tuer

Schrodinger's Cat showed smart form when winning and finishing second in recent starts, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; at 130 lb from stall six, a return to that level is needed after two consecutive unplaced efforts.

Eye of Dubai Jason Hart · John & Sean Quinn

Won last time out and returns on a quick eight-day turnaround, but two unplaced efforts before that win temper enthusiasm; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 128 lb from stall nine, and our rating of 92 suggests he holds claims without being the standout.

Another Baar Oisin McSweeney · Adrian Keatley

Winless in his last six starts, Another Baar heads here just seven days after his latest seventh-place effort, and the consistency of those mid-pack finishes is a concern; 126 lb from stall 11 won't help, though he has run over today's trip and going before and our rating of 92 suggests some residual ability to unlock.

Yes I'm Mali Conor Whiteley(5) · David O'Meara

Ranked tenth of twelve on our figures, Yes I'm Mali makes a quick reappearance just seven days after an unplaced effort, and that latest run is hard to ignore, though he has distance and going experience in his favour and a winning run two starts back offers some hope.

Beaujolais Nouveau Andrew Mullen · Ben Haslam

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Beaujolais Nouveau faces a stiff ask, and an eighth last time out does little to encourage, though she has experience over today's trip and going, and a win five starts back shows she can find the line first.

U Sure Do Duran Fentiman · Tim Easterby

Won last time out but faces a stiff ask returning just one day later; has run over today's trip and going, and 128 lb from stall 4 is workable, yet that quick turnaround is the chief concern for a gelding whose form has been patchy in recent starts.

Kind Touch Cam Hardie · Richard & Peter Fahey

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 11th of 12 on our figures, Kind Touch faces a stiff ask here, though he does hold a placed finish last time out and has run over today's trip and going before; stall one is his only additional note.
