Rely on International Girl at Ripon

International Girl will target a second success of the season over course and distance in the Wilmot-Smith Memorial Handicap at Ripon on Monday.

Richard Fahey's six-year-old prevailed by 1.25-lengths in June at the North Yorkshire track before finishing in midfield on her two subsequent starts at York.

The latter was a step up to class two level on the Knavesmire and a return to a racecourse where she has figures of second, fourth and first in three appearances should benefit the mare as she drops slightly back in grade, with Oisin Orr in the saddle.

Miss Hathaway will hope to shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking in the curtain-raising Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes.

Tim Easterby's charge has been progressing nicely in her juvenile campaign without getting over the line, finishing with place honours on her last three starts, including two runner-up spots.

The latest second place came at York on John Smith's weekend, where she was 3.75-lengths behind the winner Royalty Bay, who was subsequently beaten by just a short head in a French Group Three at Deauville recently.

Kodenza is worth backing to make it third time lucky in the ripon-races.co.uk Book Now For Saturday August 17th Novice Stakes.

Also trained by Easterby, the three-year-old was a real eye-catcher on his racecourse debut when staying on for third at big odds at Southwell and again shaped with promise when similarly coming up against a couple of fancied runners here next time out.

The son of Kodiac was unfortunate to lose a shoe that day but still did enough to suggest his turn is near.

At Lingfield, Upscale has three-time champion jockey Oisin Murphy on board in a bid to seal her maiden victory in the Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Novice Stakes.

The daughter of Kingman was second to subsequent Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence on her sole juvenile appearance and she needed her reintroduction at Doncaster in April before recording another runner-up effort at Haydock.

Upscale was third of four at Chester last time out, but she now drops down in grade, which could be just what is needed to see her in the winner's enclosure for the first time.

Carlisle's evening card is restricted to female jockeys and Gina Mangan can kick things off by partnering Biplane to victory in the Sara Gadd Appreciation Handicap.

This admirable six-year-old mare claimed her sixth career success when staying on strongly at Ayr recently and has a past history of putting together quick wins once hitting form. - Press Association
