Ginger Joe’s ante‑post book shows a mix of steady market holds and some strong early moves, with several selections tightening notably since being advised.

Echoing Silence has shortened from 14/1 into 10/1 for the Mares’ Novices’, while Storm Heart has been one of the biggest crashers of the lot, slashed from 20/1 to 15/2 for the Coral Cup. Newton Tornado has also halved in price for the National Hunt Chase, and King Rasko Grey has firmed up for the Turners.

A few picks remain unchanged at their advised odds and a couple have drifted or gone missing as non‑runners, but overall the portfolio contains a healthy spread of value positions.
