Plenty of racing to go at today.....

No joy on Sunday and no excuses. So we must do better this afternoon. In the feature event at Ripon the 3.35 Danny is keen on the chance of Soopacal. Bryan Smart's youngster took a while to get the hang of the all-weather surface last time out, but made up a lot of late ground. back on the turf he could bounce back to winning form. In the 4.00 at Lingfield an old favourite of Danny's Viking Spirit is selected. A poor run in the Stewards Cup, but solid claims on his previous victory. In the 3.05 at Chepstow I like the look of Bencoolen. Roger Charlton's juveniles are flying and this one should step up on a promising Ascot debut. Last but not least Hawridge King in the 6.00 at Warwick. He won well at Haydock on his return to the flat and a four pound rise shouldn't stop him going in again.
