Ypres returned to form last time out and looks decent each-way value at 11/1 in the 6.05 at Redcar today.
Jason Ward’s gelding was in good form last summer, posting three solid efforts to finish in the frame on the turf before scoring by a head over 6f on quick ground at Carlisle off a mark of 65.
He went on to finish a fair fifth off 69 at Beverley and also ran well off the same rating when a 1 3/4 length third at this venue.
Ypres is now able to race off 60, 5lb lower than when last successful, and comes into the contest having posted a solid effort when a strong finishing third of 13 to Salvatore Fury at Catterick.
That was a big step back in the right direction and if building on it Ypres is weighted to run a huge race in this class 6 contest.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Ypres (11/1 BetVictor, Sky Bet – BOG)
