Racing on Monday is rather subdued, but I suppose we have been spoiled in the last week with the scintillating scenes at both Galway and Goodwood; excellent exhibitions of sport.
Just a slight bump in class Monday afternoon with cards at Ripon and Kempton, with Wolverhampton at night, half the English racing is on artificial surfaces, what is going on?!
Eve Johnston Houghton has a runner in the first at Kempton Park with SIMPLY getting a nice opening mark of 58, and there could be much more improvement in this Nayef filly to come. Not knocked about in three runs in decent maidens, she looks unexposed, and with three running out of the handicap, and the rest of the field showing little in handicaps thus far, a race like this is well within the grasp for a yard that are ticking along nicely.
MR FICKLE has proved costly to follow, finishing second and fourth in the gelding’s last two starts over six and seven furlongs, and has met more trouble in running than a Jamie Spencer highlight reel. Upped in trip further, George Baker has a mile to play with, and the longer trip should give the three year old more time to find his feet and come with his now trademark turn of foot.
LETSTALKABOUTMONEY runs in a maiden after stepping up into a listed company, running with great aplomb, only going down by five lengths to the Richard Hannon 2000 Guineas fancy Toronado. With a rating of 87, the colt should be too good for rivals in a fairly average looking maiden.
GINGER MONKEY only went down by three lengths to an even money favourite on the all weather over six furlongs at Lingfield, and with the Cockney Rebel gelding’s first run for six months, he should come on for that a lot. He came back at the favourite towards the line, and the step up in trip should suit this well bred sort for an in form Peter Chapple-Hyam.
2.30 Kempton – Simply
3.30 Kempton – Mr Fickle (Nap)
4.00 Kempton – Letstalkaboutmoney (Nb)
4.30 Kempton – Ginger Monkey
Win Yankee.
Similarly muddling card on offer at Ripon, where the Yorkshire Racing Festival carries on, with the local protagonists stealing the show, as per. Famous northern names such as Haggas, Easterby, Hanagan, Nicholls, Winston et al could have a fair few winners between them.
ROYAL ASPIRATION runs for William Haggas and Paul Hanagan in the first, and is a nice little boost to the multiples in the first. Two seconds in maiden company, before only being beat three lengths in the mud at Newbury for the Weatherby’s Super Sprint. He is much better than this grade, and as long as going off around the even money mark, look a good thing.
ACE OF VALHALLA is officially rated 3lb inferior to Pulverize for Paul Hanagan and Sir Michael Stoute, but I feel the Authorized colt has shown far substantial form and attitude in his four runs in comparison to his rival. Second to subsequent winner Rosslyn Castle at Windsor, and second on handicap debut, upped in trip should suit, given he is a son of a Derby winner, and the Cecil yard are flying, with three winners at Glorious Goodwood, all group one or two races.
After winning a maiden last year, SKY HIGH DIVER went onto complete a successful four timer, winner three straight handicaps over a mile and a half, and a mile and three furlongs, all at Southwell. The filly looked in need of the run in the heavy ground at Hamilton three weeks ago, and she should come on for that run. Robert Winston is the form jockey in the north, and he is booked to ride for this Graham Swinbank runner, and the partnership have had two winners in the last week, Honest Deal at Wolverhampton, and Painted Tail at Pontefract.
2.15 Ripon – Royal Aspiration (Nap)
4.45 Ripon – Ace of Valhalla (Nb)
5.15 Ripon – Sky High Diver
Win Treble.
