Our Expert Tip

Roger Varian looks to have a very nice horse here in RETURN TO UNIT, who cost nearly a million pounds to buy and towards the end of last season showed exactly what he could do.

Even though he was weak in the betting that day, which may suggest they didn’t fully fancy him, he stayed on really nicely to get the job done. If he has filled out and strengthened up over the winter then there may only be one winner of this race.

At bigger odds, Tim Easterby’s GARDEN OASIS looks an interesting each way angle. He has previously won over course and distance off a mark of 78 and now races 3lb lower than that.

If they have targeted this race with him, then at around 20/1 he could easily sneak into the places.

The biggest field of the day and one of the more competitive races on the card. Westerton could still be ahead of the handicapper and looks capable of defying his current mark. He is one of the stronger selections on the card and earns Free Nap status. Marhaba The Champ is respected and rates the main danger.

ChatGPT Nap of the Day.

Barley was once rated 89 and has now tumbled down the handicap to a mark of 66. I do think Tim Easterby\'s horse is running back into form. On his penultimate start, he was travelling well before fitness appeared to catch him out late on, but he backed that up with an excellent run at Hamilton at the end of May when beaten only a shoulder by a horse that finished like a steam train.

He runs off the same mark today and returns to Ripon, a track he clearly enjoys. At the time of writing, rain is falling at Ripon and could continue throughout the day. That may play right into Barley\'s hands, as he has proven form on good to soft ground. He ran here three times last season and finished second on all three occasions, including defeats by just a length on soft ground and short-head margins on similar going.

With conditions likely to suit, course form in the book, and signs that he\'s returning to his best, Barley looks to have a great chance in a race where several rivals may not appreciate testing ground.

Today\'s FREE Nap is Barley at 11/4.
