1:45 Ripon Tips

This 2-y-o filly, trained by James Owen, was only beaten a half length into second on her racecourse debut over seven furlongs on good to firm ground at Doncaster. She improved significantly when winning her latest start over seven furlongs on good to firm ground at York, beating the R. A. Fahey-trained Sweet Iris by 4¾ lengths. With Jason Hart booked to ride, she can follow up today.

Bedwyr is the most speculative selection in the portfolio, but 23.00 is a big enough price to justify an each-way interest. He showed very little on debut but took a substantial step forward on his second start at Redcar, producing a much better effort at triple-figure odds and finishing around five lengths from the winner. That improvement becomes more interesting because he now steps up from seven furlongs to a mile, something both his latest performance and pedigree suggest should be beneficial. He remains extremely unexposed after only two career starts and therefore has considerably more potential to progress than runners whose level is already established. Coral Cove is clearly the horse to beat after an impressive York victory, but she dominates the market and has a wide draw to overcome. Bedwyr does not need to beat her for the each-way side to pay and his current price compensates us well for the obvious uncertainty.
