Talking Horses: Rippling Waters can make a splash at Market Rasen


Breaking down Monday’s racing at Market Rasen, Taunton and Huntingdon

A runner of some interest in Market Rasen’s final race of the day, a mares’ bumper, is Rippling Waters (5.20). She carries the same colours as those of the well-backed Mister Whitaker, who won the Cheltenham Festival’s last race on the first day for his owner Tim Radford, founder of Timico, which sponsors the Gold Cup. 

Rippling Waters finished fifth of 14 in a Market Rasen bumper in October having started the 9-4 favourite. If there is again strong confidence behind the four-year-old – for which Graham Lee is an intriguing booking by the Mick Channon stable – she could easily beat these rivals. On the other hand, the betting might suggest she will need this run after a five-month absence.
