18:10 (Ripon) Temper Trap

Temper Trap has secured a double recently and he is hard to oppose in his bid for a hat-trick, even with 5lb extra to carry.

Jewel Of Kabeir showed a lot more on her return to the fray when third at Beverley last month and she goes off 1lb lower here.
Chagall's success at Lingfield last time over 1m2f also gives him an obvious chance.

18:40 (Ripon) Seven Questions

Seven Questions got off the mark at the third attempt for George Scott, with the British EBF 40th Anniversary Restricted Novice Stakes a logical next target.

The form of his initial run looks very strong, coming home fourth behind Hala Emaraaty at Redcar, with subsequent Windsor Castle and Molecomb winner Big Evs in second.
Beaten a neck by Cuban Secret at Yarmouth next time, Seven Questions was withdrawn at the start of the Windsor Castle after getting upset in the stalls, but made minor amends when getting his head in front back at Yarmouth three weeks ago.
The ground that day was officially good, but it looked softer than that and was later changed, suggesting the recent wet spell might not derail Seven Questions' challenge.

19:40 (Ripon) Whispering Royal

A step up in trip can see Whispering Royal make it third time lucky for the season in the Book Now For Saturday 19th August Handicap.

A debut winner at Dundalk in the autumn for Irish trainer Barry Fitzgerald, the three-year-old was subsequently snapped up by Chelsea Thoroughbreds for 75,000 guineas and sent to Alan King.
There was definite promise to be taken from his first start for new connections at Doncaster in June as while he beat only one home, he was just a length and a half behind the winner.
He stuck to the mile and a quarter on his next appearance at Windsor and was beaten the same distance, this time placing third behind Tiffany, who has since followed up and is now rated 84.
With a further hike in distance to a mile and a half expected to suit, Whispering Royal looks dangerously well treated off a mark of 73 and will take some stopping.

20:40 (Ripon) Profitable Edge

Profitable Edge finished a very respectable second on her seasonal/stable debut at Redcar in June and the daughter of Profitable appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to record a first success.

Your Spirit has made the frame the last twice and a further 1lb drop in the ratings makes Paul Midgley's filly of interest too, while coure and distance winner Jazzagal may do best of the remainder.

Ripon selections in full:

RIPON: 6.10 Temper Trap, 6.40 Seven Questions, 7.10 Granny Budgie, 7.40 Whispering Royal, 8.10 Latin Five, 8.40 Profitable Edge
