Racing by Tom O'Ryan

In-form trainer Jack Berry, whose 10-1 shot Bolshoi won the Temple Stakes at Sandown yesterday, can keep up the good work at Ripon tomorrow evening.

Berry's Conwy Lodge can land the first race, the Lishman, Sidwell, Campbell and Price Maiden Stakes.

One of Berry's formidable squad of juveniles, Conwy Lodge made his debut at Chester earlier this month and ran a fine race to finish second to Bodfari Muka, beaten only half a length.

Sure to have benefited from that first run the speedy Conwy Lodge can go one better here in the hands of Gary Carter. Carl Lowther, who rode Bolshoi to victory yesterday, can also figure among the winners at Ripon, aboard Duraid in the Amec Civil Engineering Handicap.

Twice a winner for veteran northern trainer Denys Smith last season, Duraid is gradually running into form this term, and finished a creditable fourth to Sick As A Parrot at Beverley last week. His supporters will be disappointed if Duraid does not run a big race tomorrow.

Walter Swinburn, who rode two winners at Sandown yesterday, can follow up aboard Lucky Archer in the Gorlestone Handicap at Yarmouth's afternoon fixture.

Formerly trained by Clive Brittain and now with Milton Bradley, who specialises with cast-offs from other yards, Lucky Archer trotted up in a modest maiden handicap at Nottingham last week at odds of 20-1.

He will not, alas, start at anything like those odds tomorrow, but, unpenalised for his latest success (which was achieved in an apprentices' race), he makes plenty of appeal and is awarded the Nap vote.

At Newbury's televised evening meeting, Tarxien is worth considerable attention in the Kenneth Robertson Handicap.Tarxien bids for a quick double after scoring at Haydock four days ago. A 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop Ka
