Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Sunday; Weekend Offender in the Ripon 15:40. Compare odds and bet.
Despite reservations over the form of the Kevin Ryan yard at present, I’m prepared to chance Weekend Offender (3:40) in the feature at Ripon on Sunday.
An eye-catcher when meeting trouble in running on his return to action at Nottingham last month, the four-year-old looks capable of landing a nice prize or two this term and he shouldn’t have a problem with the extra furlong here.
Over in Ireland, keep an eye on Tesseract who returns from 311 days off in the beginners chase at Limerick, for Joseph O’Brien and JP McManus.
The winner of his last two starts over hurdles last summer, he relishes decent ground and is an interesting chase debutant – his form on ground described as good or yielding reads 311111 and the third came behind Petit Mouchoir in the 2015 Goffs Land Rover Bumper. If he is tuned up, he should take the beating here and the market could be the best guide on that score.
