Royal Ascot - Ribblesdale Stakes Tips

3.10 Ribblesdale Stakes (Class 1) (Group 2) (Fillies) 3 year olds. 1m 4f

Named after the 4th Baron Ribblesdale, Master of the Buckhounds between 1892 and 1895. first run in 1919, this race was originally staged over a mile for 3 and 4 year olds. Now restricted to the Classic generation only and run over the extended distance of a mile and a half, the winner of the Ribblesdale Stakes is invariably a top class filly.

Two of the last 3 winners have been sent off @ 22/1 & 25/1 & favourite won just once in 10yrs. So not easy this. John Gosden’s MICHITA will like Ascot’s track as won’t have to cope with the hills at Epsom which did for him last time out. ARTHUR’S GIRL is a bit of a punt but the way it’s been going at Ascot so far, who knows? ARTHUR’S GIRL won nicely at Salisbury last time out.

Main bet: MICHITA 7/2.
Next best: ARTHUR’S GIRL 10/1 each way.
