Zayer to make it third time lucky

Zayer is fancied to make it third time lucky in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Ripon on Tuesday following a couple of rock-solid runner-up efforts so far.

The son of Starspangledbanner was just edged out late on by the more experienced Lakers on his Ffos Las debut, when that pair pulled well clear of the rest.

He was again only headed in the closing stages by Leonardo Dax at Haydock and that form has since been boosted by third-placed Angel Hunter winning a valuable York nursery.

Dropping down from 1200m to 1000m should not inconvenience Zayer, who still holds an entry for next month's Mill Reef Stakes.

Mr Jetman was late getting going this year but made up for lost time with a couple of encouraging placed efforts earlier this month.

Grant Tuer's gelding returned from a 423-day break to finish a close third at Musselburgh and was then beaten by just a neck over the same course and distance that he will face in the Green Scheme Discounts For Greener Travel Apprentice Handicap.

The booking of in-form rider Brandon Wilkie only adds to his appeal.

Rayat did not quite get home when favourite for a 21-runner York contest last month but may have had to work harder than ideal early on from a modest draw on that occasion.

Saeed bin Suroor's five-year-old had previously impressed in scoring under a big weight at Nottingham and is worth sticking with in the Ripon Yorkshire's Garden Racecourse Handicap.

Inanna was well backed on her first start for Jim Goldie when third at Ayr, where she was just caught short of room at a crucial point.

Having been rated as high as 84 a couple of years ago, she is now down to a dangerous mark of 52 and has to be of interest in division one of the Bob Veitch 90th Birthday Bash Handicap at Musselburgh.

Following a switch to Gary Rutherford from Ireland a few weeks ago, Rebecca's Girl built on a neck second at Ayr by coming home powerfully to strike at Carlisle.

She picks up a 5lb penalty for the first division of the Lens Self Storage 60th Anniversary Handicap but has clearly been buoyed by her move to the Scottish Borders and can continue on an upward curve.

Richard Hughes has booked the services of Simon Walker for Fictional in the Download The Raceday Ready App Amateur Jockeys' Handicap at Lingfield and that looks a shrewd move.

Walker has no peers in these contests, despite his advancing years, and he is still worth a few pounds in the saddle compared to some of his contemporaries.

Amy Murphy's Creative Lady has shown enough in two runs to date to suggest she is the one to beat in the Get Raceday Ready / EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

Second on Lingfield's turf track on debut, she now faces the all-weather, having also been runner-up when a beaten favourite at Epsom.

Onemorefortheroad is getting on a bit now as a nine-year-old but Neil King's charge is still capable on his day.

He runs in the Brian And Sheila Vaughan Memorial Handicap Chase at Stratford and is only 2lb higher than when winning at Kempton in April. - Press Association
