CITRON THE MONEY

- BY GARRY OWEN

CITRON MAJOR (1.15) rates the best of Nigel Tinkler’s strong team in the David Chapman Handicap at Ripon.

The five-year-old looked better than ever when comfortabl­y defeating Afandem over course and distance. This useful sprinter can follow up if his visor continues to work its magic.

INNSE GALL (2.20) can kick off a profitable spell for Iain Jardine in the nursery. The juvenile rates a sure-fire improver in handicaps after his eye-catching third to

Chase The Dollar at Ayr. The in-form Dumfries handler can add the two-miler to his tally with CLEARANCE (2.50). The gelding likes this track and showed a cracking attitude to beat Kensington

Art at Musselburg­h last time. The six-year-old remains in peak form so he can see off his old rival once again under the excellent Graham Lee.

Tim Easterby is also flying at present and he can strike again with FISHABLE (3.20).

The colt built on some fine efforts slamming Scottish Summit on his handicap bow over track and trip. There is be plenty more to come from this exciting type who can defy a 7lb hike in another warm contest.

PORT NOIR (3.40) can bag her third win of the term in the Sky Sports Handicap at Bath.

Grace Harris’ filly will take some stopping with any repeat of her game defeat of Gherkin at this venue.

ROBERT GUISCARD (4.10) can enhance Mark Johnson’s enviable record at this track.

The gelding finally shaped like his turn was near when just denied by Libretti in a better event at Yarmouth.

ROCK OF FAME (5.10) can claim a trappy-looking fillies’ handicap for Roger Varian. The three-year-old remains nicely unexposed after her narrow loss to the tough Magic Shuffle over track and trip. Michael Bell’s LORD WARBURTON (5.40) can shock hot favourite Lismore in the last. The three-year-old should relish tackling 1m 6f after outbattlin­g Lion’s Vigil in a decent event at Ripon.

BBOLD (7.20) should shrug off a 10lb hike for hammering Dream Bolt and take the feature handicap chase for Dr Richard Newland at Stratford.
