3.40 Ripon This race has a typical Ripon feeling about it nearly all front runners, front runners go well here but with so many in a field they are gona go far to fast you would assume and this could setup for a finisher. The 2 finishers that catch my eye in this race is the Fahey/Hanagan duo in Lord Aeryn who has been in good form this season so far winning on comeback and just as good again in defeat last time behind a potentially useful sort in Nelsons Bounty. Up another 4lb for that defeat but the way he finished that race suggested he is still well handicapped and this race is clearly gonna be run to suit. The other that catches the eye is Dubai Dynamo who is worth a small bet with Ruth Carrs runners back in hot form recently and its a fool that dismiss's any of her runners at the moment. He has won off higher marks before and is known for stringing good efforts together and did well to get as close to Kay Gee Be as he did considering where the paid came from that day with Kay Gee much better placed throughout and is another that will be well suited to the strong pace. 1pt win Lord Aeryn 4/1 pp

BBOTD - Tues 24th May 2011 Bea Remembered 3.40 Ripon 14-1 William Hill (BOG) Each Way I thought it was interesting that Fallon has gone up to Ripon and is not riding in this race for his pal Luca Cumani, with Guillambert getting the ride on his instead. Fallon rides for Brian Meehan today, trainer just starting to hit form after having some dreaful figures only a few weeks ago (was about 2 wins from 50 runners) and is now 6 from 38 with a few places in the last 14 days. Fallon also in form with 14 winners from 59 rides with a very healthy +£35.03 to £1 level stakes. The horse has had a run, just 17 days ago and although only 7th it got bumped early on and raced in the rear, never getting to the leaders. It was well beaten in a listed race by Emulous, that a very decent sort and won on Saturday in Ireland. Also finished 3rd to Famous Name over an extra furlong, that one with 3 wins since and recent 3rd to So You Think. Races off 93 and was a 5 length winner off 86 but then stepped up in class to face superior horses in a better grade and was outclassed. Could have a chance back at this more realistic level today and will probably appreciate the ground if it is good or if it rains and softens. Can't fancy Suits Me on turf at 8-1 and some rivals are stepping up in class from lower level handicaps while this has ability and drops down from listed/group races. 14-1 is a very fair price and there were two 20-1 winners in the last 4 years. Might be too high in the handicap but will take that chance. Often races prominently, might try and nick this from the front if it can get there from a high draw.
