Ripon 17:25 Odds Comparison

Runner-up in this race off a 7 lb higher mark 12 months ago and makes plenty of appeal back in this grade, following a very creditable fifth in the Spring Mile on reappearance last time.

On a long losing run, but he did make it 4 consecutive runner-up finishes at this track in August before losing his way at the end of last season.

Very much on the up when landing a hat-trick at Ascot in September, and while well below form in a better race at Doncaster the following month, he was successful first time up last year and needs considering.

May have needed the run when well beaten in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on reappearance and this previous C&D winner at least finds himself back at a more realistic level.

Back on his last winning mark following a pipe-opener at Southwell last time and likely to be in the hunt if the pace in the race materialises.

Back to his best when dead-heating with Garden Oasis off this mark over C&D last season and warrants a second look in the betting, having been well held at long odds on the all-weather of late.

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle in the autumn and while likely better for his return there last month (typically slowly away), he probably needs to come back down the weights.

Finished second here before winning three times last season and while he probably needed the run when trailing the field in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, On The River looks the stable's leading hope on paper.

Seven-time C&D winner is back below his latest winning mark following a quiet end to last season, though at 11 years old, he'd be entitled to need a run to blow away the cobwebs.

Form tailed off following a second C&D success of the season (off this mark) here in July, and the betting should prove informative with yard also saddling Walsingham.
