TELE RED is fancied to put punters in the black with a win in the Ripon Races Green Scheme Handicap (3.20) at Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse on Thursday.
Karl Burke’s daughter of Telescope proved a model of consistency in 2022 with handicap victories at Pontefract and Beverley alongside silver medals at Carlisle, Nottingham, Newbury and Redcar.
Tele Red failed to trouble the judge at Haydock Park and Thirsk on his first two attempts this season, but took a step forward over this afternoon’s course and distance 11 days ago.
A 7-1 shot in a field of nine Andrew Breslin’s mount hit the front half a furlong from the finish, only to be run out of it in the final strides by head scorer Showmedemoney.
A 2lb nudge up the weights was to be expected but, with the likelihood of more to come, Tel Red can return to winning ways.
The Ripon Races Ladies Day 22nd June Handicap (4.50) rates a good opportunity for WE’RENOTREALLYHERE to rack up a third success from his last four starts.
The ground was heavy when John Quinn’s son of Camacho came home at Catterick Bridge and Thirsk either side of a fifth at Doncaster, but We’renotreallyhere has shown his form on quicker terrain and should give another good account.
