Ed Bethell's sole runner bids for hat-trick at Ripon and red-hot Warren Greatrex attempts to continue top form at Stratford

Ripon: hat-trick bid for Fluorescence

An unbeaten record is on the line as Fluorescence looks to complete a hat-trick for Ed Bethell in the 6f fillies handicap (3.40).

The three-year-old won a Southwell novice before following up in fine fashion under a penalty at Redcar at the start of the month. She goes into handicaps off a mark of 85 but gets weight allowance from some of her older rivals.

Fluorescence is the only runner of the day for Bethell, who saddled a big handicap winner at York with Old Cock earlier this week.

Stratford: red-hot Warren Greatrex has just one runner

Warren Greatrex has an impressive 79 per cent of horses running to form in the last fortnight with five winners, a second and two thirds among his 14 runners.

Tactical Affair was second behind Rocks Up Late at Worcester last Tuesday but that form has already been boosted by the winner following up in the week.

The six-year-old was returning to form and should be competitively handicapped, given he was rated two stone higher when joining the Greatrex yard in March 2024. He bids for a first success over fences in the  2m1f novice handicap chase (3.55).

Greatrex said: "The horses are healthy and running well, so long may it continue. He gained a bit of confidence from his last run and it was a much better performance. It's been frustrating not to win with him so far but I'd say this is the best opportunity we've had with him. With a bit of luck he'll take a bit of beating."

Stratford stat: Cannon looks to boost strike-rate for King

Tom Cannon and Alan King are 3-6 at Stratford with a profit of £19.91 from a £1 stake. They team up with Baskerville (3.20).
