        Verdict

        Court Of Appeal and Mr Lear both like to race up with the pace, which are the best tactics for this course, and we just prefer the former here; Fast Foil and Arcalis also come into the reckoning. The latter is a progressive type but his style of racing might not be suited to this track, although Lynda Ramsden's gelding is respected nevertheless. Fast Foil tends to race fairly handy and this Mick Channon-trained filly has claims on her consistent level of recent form. Stallone and Market Avenue are other hold up types who have to respected, but Mr Lear has been kept busy of late and performing with credit in similar events. David Barron's four-year-old could take some passing if able to get the lead down the long home straight. But we are just going to pass him over in favour of Court Appeal, who was well ridden from a forward position when scoring at Chester, and similar tactics may be applied here. He stays further than this so it would be a big surprise not to see positive tactics, and on the prevailing fast ground, and particularly on the round course, Ripon appears to have one of the biggest front running biases in the country.
