Ribblesdale Stakes Tips
From what we can see in the trends for this race, our top tip would be don't be too outlandish with your bets, this is a race that commonly suits the favourites and the field of horses that can beat them isn't the biggest. If you're backing the favourite, look for an each way bet, which will build-up your pot with smaller payouts rather than one hopeful punt.
However, with that in mind, if you're looking to back a horse based on where they've come from, so you're interested in the battle between the English and the Irish at Royal Ascot, Irish horses have a much better success rate in this race. 20% of Irish Horses that have run in this race in the last twenty renditions have won the race, meanwhile 40% have finished in the top three. In comparison, 7.4% of British horses win this race and 18.2% finish in the top three. However, with this in mind, it's likely that a lot of the horses that you see at higher odds are those of British trainers travelling to a well-known, more local race.
