4:05 Ripon: Michael Raby Memorial Handicap Stakes (Div I)

Sole Spirit Paul Mulrennan · Bryan Smart

Sole Spirit has won three times in his last five starts, including a winning effort two starts back, but seventh last time out clouds his claims; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 140 lb from stall seven is the key questions mark as he attempts to bounce back.

Jet Warrior Jason Hart · Lawrence Mullaney

Jet Warrior won two of his last six starts and has experience of today's distance and going, but back-to-back unplaced efforts most recently give pause, and carrying 137 lb from stall eight will demand plenty from him on a quick turnaround of nine days.

Good Karma Ethan Tindall(5) · John David Riches

Good Karma has been knocking on the door in recent starts, placed third last time out and a winner six starts back, though he has yet to convert that consistency into a victory in his last five outings; he has run over today's distance and going, and 136 lb from stall two keeps him competitive on a quick turnaround of nine days.

Big Apple Jack Tom Eaves · Michael & David Easterby

Big Apple Jack won last time out and was second two starts back, arriving here 24 days fresh and with experience of today's trip and conditions; the 135 lb burden is worth noting, though his current form profile makes him our preferred pick.

Showtime Mahomes Oliver Stammers · Grant Tuer

Winless in his last six starts, Showtime Mahomes nonetheless showed some promise with a third last time out, and has run over today's distance and going before; carrying 134 lb from stall ten, he sits fifth in the field on our rating, leaving him a midfield proposition at best.

Triple P Duran Fentiman · Tim Easterby

Winless in his last three starts and ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, Triple P faces a stiff ask here; he has run over today's trip and returns after 18 days off, but placings of second and third in recent starts offer the only crumbs of comfort.

Run This Way David Nolan · Paul Midgley

Run This Way has place form in two of her last four outings and back-to-back wins five and six starts back, with experience over today's trip and conditions working in her favour; the sixth last time out is the one result that gives pause.

Oh So Perfect Alistair Rawlinson · Michael Appleby

Runner-up finish three starts back and back-to-back wins four and five starts back underline Oh So Perfect's ability, and she returns fit on 27 days' rest having run over today's trip and going — the concern is that her last two efforts have been a sixth and a fourth.

Golden Mabel Luke Morris · Lisa Williamson

Ranked last on our figures and her recent form reads poorly — four finishes of sixth or worse in her last five starts make her hard to fancy, even if the win last time out and experience on today's going offer some mitigation.

Eldeyaar Cam Hardie · Antony Brittain

Ranked tenth of eleven on our figures, Eldeyaar makes this a tough ask, and two finishes outside the top three in his last four starts compound the concern; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a second last time out offers some encouragement.
