A day with some really top quality action on offer, with Group Races at Newbury and the high class Great St Wilfrid handicap at Ripon. Today's selection goes in the consolation handicap race at Ripon, Fast Shot, and he is sure to be delighted with the rain that has fallen during the week.
He has slid down the ratings since a rather encouraging reappearance at Newcastle off a mark of 94. He has won off marks as high as 93, as recently as last season, and the handicapper has taken a big chance in dropping him down to 85, three pounds lower than he was for his last, admittedly poor, run.
He was targeted at the Ayr Gold Cup last year, and ran a cracking race in 5th, despite the ground being plenty quick enough for him. He will need to go up a few pounds in the handicap if he is to go back for another try this year, and a win would probably be enough to get him in. David Allan is back on board and at his current odds of 11/1 he looks worth an each way bet.
Top Boy also goes in the 4.55 at Doncaster, and looks overpriced yet again. I wouldn't put anyone off having a small few bob each way on him too. He is well capable of winning off his mark of 84 and should get the fast pace he likes to aim at too.
