Let's get the ball rolling going for:

Carp Kid
4.40 Wolverhampton 5/1 (bet365)
 
15.10 Wolves Either Hamish Mcgonagain or A Sure Welcome will end up fav. A Sure Welcome is currently 7/2 with 2 bookies and Hamish Mcgonagain is 7/2 with 5 bookies. While they are sorting out who's going to be fav I think 2 points on each at 7/2 looks the best option. 9 points back for 4 outlay (if one wins) gives us 5/4 either one winning
 
16.10 Wolves. There looks to be an outstanding ew bet in this (although he is making his tapeta debut on his 3rd outing). My only worry is that it may be out to get a generous handicap mark. Jackfinbar 5th of 14 on debut to easy winner Alternative Fact who has subsequently come 2nd in a listed race at Deauville. The 2nd also won its next 2 races. On his 2nd outing Jackfinbar was thought to be good enough to travel to Chantilly to contest a €172,619 stakes race. No match for those but not surprisingly as the winner was the fairly smart Dice Roll. Even so btn only 7¾l. Dice Roll had previously finished 4th to Mythical Magic who has been mixing it in G1/2/3 races against the likes of Sea Henge, Nebo and Happily. Torrow's race is a Class 5 Auction race. Surprisingly Jackfinbar is available at 25/1

Even 40/1 this morning
 
Ffos Las 2.40 Rayvin Black is all the rave after his recent second but Solstice Star returns to hurdling and drops in distance after finding 3miles beyond him last time out and, at 7/2, to me seems better value

Astigos 3 15 ffos Las, backed from 50 to 20, small stable going great guns recently, this is a definitely winnable race

But not as good as 9/2 <doh>

That looks a tricky race rudey. Magical Man beat Misty
Mai by a neck over 3 miles heavy, just staying on the stronger. So this longer trip should benefit him. He's been hit 5lb by the assessor but in fact is only 2lb worse off at the weights. However, Misty May is less experienced (and a year younger) so could have more improvement; also has a nice chasing pedigree. All this is complicated further by them both having a change of jockey. Good luck with your 20/1 shot; looks to have no chance at all but then the 200/1 shot yesterday had much less of a chance
 
Wolvy 3.40-Tiger Lion win 7/2
Was looking at that one Ste. Been running over the wrong distances. Jockey change. This is his 5th race and 5th jockey. Not sure what to make of that

No value at all <doh>
