14:40 Ripon — Race Preview & Tips

Black Orchid is our selection for the 14:40 14:40 Ripon at Ripon, a Flat contest on Good ground.

The recent run of form — 22 — includes placed finishes that point to a big run here.

The Richard & Peter Fahey/Oisin James Orr partnership is one to follow, and they will fancy their chances here.

The Good going should suit, and with the draw in stall taken into account, conditions look favourable.

Indefensible is the each-way option — a solid claim for a frame finish.
