    Call Me Ginger 1.40 Ayr, ran well in a better race at this track latest, even though the trip and ground weren't ideal.
    That's fixed today and he's 11/2 with B365.

    Tony Carroll a shrewd enough trainer in my mind. He has three live chances running later with decent jockeys on board as well. Worth a win Round Robin.

    A horse I mentioned as one to follow or a tracker earlier this season when racing began was Global Spirit.

    This is what I said. "Roger Fell had the first winner of the season at Newcastle and his Global Spirit looks sure to improve this season on his rating which is currently in the high 70's. He ran a respectable race when just pipped for third place at Newcastle today on the all-weather and is one to keep on side this summer especially when he races back on turf."

    He races tomorrow off just a 2 pound higher mark in the 2.40 at Ripon. He is 6/1 on the early show. Looking forward to it. I could see him winning several races based on his low handicap mark. I fancy him to win.

    Did well enough finishing a staying on second. Maybe a step up in trip might suit next time. I actually decided not to bet him today for various reasons but todays run bodes well for next time out. Still a work in progress. He will be competative again next time out.

    Volatile Analyst 3.35Nm ran 4th in last years Richmond Stakes behind horses that subsequently won a Royal Lodge, the Gimcrack and this season's Commonwealth Cup.
    Won a small race at Ayr on his re-introduction this term, which Danny Tudhope said he'd improve a lot from. This entire must have a real chance in this valuable handicap, yet is available @ 25/1(5 places) on Betfair.

    In the 1.30 at York I think Ritchie Valens has been pushed out to a ridiculous price at 13/2 and has to be worth a bet. Won first time up this season and in the past 2 seasons he has always improved for the run. Was progressing nicely over 10f on turf last season. When getting beat over 10f on soft ground at Newbury I think he just bumped into one there as the winner went on to 2 more wins straight after and ended up a lot higher in the handicap. There has been a plunge on Channons horse so perhaps they have him all fired up and ready to go but he's shown nothing first time up in the previous 2 seasons. The other one they are plunging on is the lightly raced Cape Cavalli who holds his chance but still has a lot to prove to justify such a lowly price tag. The only other one of interest is Ulshaw Bridge at around 12/1 generally looked like he was crying out for this step up in trip last time out. So the only thing not to like about Ritchie Valens is the Andy Warhol style silks and Ulshaw bridge might be worth a saver or possibly up for the fc depending on how you roll.

    Best of luck gents.

    Last - suspect ground change didn't help; never run on sft before.

    I have to do MR TYRELL 705b 12/1
    I put him in my a/p bet for the 150 newmarket tomorrow so I lost my money.
    Hopefully I will get it back and some profit.

    In the 150nm I've done ZHUI FENG 14s but the going is a worry.2 races ago he ran decent and after its last run it's been dropped 4lb.

    3.35 Newmarket - Enemy 6/1 - I have very big figures for the Britannia so reckon this should be half this price.
