Our Expert Tip

FOREST SPIRIT is the early favourite, but her jumping last time out was far from convincing and until she puts in a cleaner round of jumping she looks worth taking on.

Several others in the field are entering handicap company for the first time and should improve for recent outings. The Max Comley yard is definitely one to keep an eye on as he looks a very good up and coming trainer.

His runner LA BELLE ARGENTEE may be ready to bounce back here. Her mark has dropped 10lb in recent runs and she has previously shown some useful form against horses rated in the 120s. She gets the vote in the lucky last.

Bryan Rogers NAP of the Day

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.
