Absent for a lengthy spell; effective from 2m5f to 3m on soft and good ground. Fairly treated on old form but must prove ability remains after the break. Slow-ground Irish point winner; unseen since a pair of chase defeats in spring 2024..

Effective over 3m+, best suited by marathon trips, and acts on good to firm and good ground. Inconsistent but only 1lb above last winning mark. Close up when fell at Wincanton last month (3m1f, soft); needs at least sight of the lead..
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) Haut Folin	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Haut Folin 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick last time. Effective at around 3m and handles softer ground, but has shown regressive form. Weighted to strike but pulled up the last four times, despite ideal trip/ground latest..

5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 +0%) Est Illic	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Est Illic 40/1, Needed the run and bled when well beaten in a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m on soft or good ground but must prove ability remains following a long absence. Burst a blood vessel on last month's return here (2m4f); couldn't be confident just now..

Effective at around 2 1/2m and looks well treated on last chase win so holds strong claims. Near-6l second in 3m hurdle here latest; chance if reproducing peak 2023-24 chasing RPRs..
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (4/1 +11%) Staff Sergeant Len	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Staff Sergeant Len 4/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time when looked a huge threat. Effective over about 2 1/2m and likely to improve for that outing. Looks well treated off 1lb higher and big palyer if jumping holds up. Every chance when unseating on recent chasing debut (2m4f, good to soft); might stay 3m..
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (13/8 +0%) Shot Boii	1.625 13/8(+0%)	(6) Shot Boii 13/8, Made mistakes but returned to form after his reappearance when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time.

12:32 Ludlow (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

WALKINTHEWOODS stepped forward from his fourth at Hereford when runner-up here over hurdles at the start of last month and the switch to fences gives him every chance of returning to winning ways. Evan Williams' gelding was last seen winning for the first time over fences at Plumpton in May and his rider's claim further aids his cause. Staff Sergeant Len had every chance when unseating at Wincanton on Boxing Day and is respected along with Shot Boii.

Assuming their jumping holds up better late this time than at Wincanton, STAFF SERGEANT LEN and Anytrixwilldo can fight this out.

1	1 1st (1) (10/11 +44%) Catchintsavo	0.909091 10/11(+44%)	(1) Catchintsavo 10/11, Improved from debut under a positive ride when second, beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective over 2m2f; strong bumper form and progressing over hurdles. Improved for wind surgery and a tongue-tie when runner-up at Hereford; leading player..
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 +0%) Seaniecon	5 5/1(+0%)	(11) Seaniecon 5/1, Improved from debut when winning an auction point at Ballingarry by 13l last time. Point winner; yard can get them ready first time. Irish point winner who makes debut in a race with not a great deal of depth; interesting..
3	9 3rd (9) (100/1 +0%) La Vish	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) La Vish 100/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a bumper at Southwell on only start. Off a short break and may improve for the longer trip now hurdling. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut but others make more obvious appeal..
4	8 4th (8) (7/2 +0%) Last Round	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(8) Last Round 7/2, Improved when second, beaten 6l in a maiden point at Lingstown last time. Trainer in form; off a short break. Showed promise in points and has joined a top yard so could have a say. Hard to gauge the form of his point second but commands respect on debut for top stable..
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 +0%) Hairy Potter	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Hairy Potter 100/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; needs to leave previous form behind. Cheekpieces need to bring a major step forward having been well held on both hurdle runs..
6th	10 6th (10) (10/3 +5%) Not At That Price	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(10) Not At That Price 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 2 1/2l in an Amateurs' bumper at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on good and good to soft. Consistent in bumpers and could be involved on hurdle debut.

A longer trip should suit but he's likely to need more time over hurdles. Only shown a modest level of ability, including on last month's hurdle debut; up in trip..
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 +24%) Fane Court	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Fane Court 50/1, Soon outpaced on a modest debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Taunton last time. A 3m point winner who is likely to need more time under rules. Well held when 300-1 on hurdle debut last week and easy to look elsewhere..
9th	12 9th (12) (66/1 +0%) Shuile Warrior	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Shuile Warrior 66/1, Below form when comfortably held in a point at Chaddesley Corbett last time. Returning from a long layoff; point winner who has yet to show much under rules. Point winner in April and fit from that sphere, but more needed returning to this code..
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (7/1 -8%) Idaho Fire	7 7/1(-8%)	(6) Idaho Fire 7/1, Too keen when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden bumper at Newton Abbot last time. Off a short break; effective from 2m to 2m5f and the step up in trip is a plus on hurdles debut. Worth considering with this longer trip expected to suit now switching to hurdles..
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (8/1 +0%) Ironica De Thaix	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Ironica De Thaix 8/1, Probably needed the race and improved from debut when 12l third in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on testing ground; a bumper winner showing fair hurdle form, yard can ready them after a layoff. French bumper winner but rarely seen in recent years and returns from another long layoff..
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (50/1 +24%) Catch Yourself On	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Catch Yourself On 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Returning from a long layoff and difficult to fancy starting out for new yard. Pulled up on last two starts and now makes stable debut with plenty to prove..
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (66/1 +0%) Asifbymagic	66 66/1(+0%)	(13) Asifbymagic 66/1, Upton Magician mare; dam unraced under rules and held on sole point start. Best watched. Related to a couple of point winners but probably best watched on a belated debut..

13:07 Ludlow (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CATCHINTSAVO clearly needed his first run over hurdles at Cheltenham and left that well behind when runner-up at Hereford in December. Anthony Honeyball has been in fine fettle of late with his novice hurdlers and the six-year-old can continue that vein of form. Not At That Price placed in a Uttoxeter bumper in October and is likely to enter calculations on hurdling debut, while Last Round and Idaho Fire head the remainder.

Having produced a much better effort when second at Hereford last time, CATCHINTSAVO is the pick. Not At That Price is feared most.

2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 +0%) Island Bridge	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(5) Island Bridge 11/4, Outpaced and a bit below form when second, beaten 5l, in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time; off a short break; effective at 3m on good ground and looks capable of winning soon with a longer trip likely to help. Bumped into a useful one when clear second at Leicester in November; leading contender.
3	11 3rd (11) (9/2 +0%) Plains Drifter	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(11) Plains Drifter 9/2, Made a promising hurdles debut when second, beaten 3 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on good to soft and should have more to come. Second of five in interesting Market Rasen novice last month; each-way claims at least.
4	6 4th (6) (3/1 +0%) Kara Sacre	3 3/1(+0%)	(6) Kara Sacre 3/1, Probably failed to stay when fourth, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface and may do better for a new yard. Made the frame in three big-field Irish maidens last spring; now with Venetia Williams.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 +39%) Tao Enki	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Tao Enki 20/1, Produced best work late and improved when third, beaten 17l, in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good to soft and open to more improvement.

6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 +0%) Parliamo	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Parliamo 66/1, Outpaced on poor hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; off a short break; effective at 2m on soft or good ground but likely to need more time over hurdles. Ran okay in both bumpers but was tailed off when switched to hurdling.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 -17%) My Own Lovely Lee	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) My Own Lovely Lee 14/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time; effective at 2m4f and acts with cut; type to do better once handicapping. Made quite promising rules debut but his latest run was a backward step; needs improvement.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 -10%) Crest Of Valour	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Crest Of Valour 22/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last time; from good yard but has plenty to prove. Pulled up on last month's hurdle debut at Plumpton.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -12%) Drumlee Orders	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Drumlee Orders 28/1, Promising effort when third, beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden point at Fairyhouse on debut; returning from a long layoff for new yard with point form that has been franked.

1	1 \|PU\| (1) (100/1 +0%) Aberfeldy	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Aberfeldy 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last time after a short break; may just need more experience. Second in two Irish points last spring but struggled when 200-1 for hurdle debut.

13:42 Ludlow (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ISLAND BRIDGE appreciated dropping in trip when finishing second at Leicester in November and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for him to go one better. Mondoui'boy was bought for 115,000 pounds when sold by former owner David Maxwell in October having shown promise in a couple of bumpers. He appears likely to be the main threat, while Kara Sacre and Plains Drifter complete the shortlist.

After beginning his hurdling career with two good efforts in the autumn, ISLAND BRIDGE gets the verdict.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +7%) Move With The Beat	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) Move With The Beat 7/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Taunton last time when looked likely winner; effective over 3m. Prolific in points and could make amends for that fall off an unchanged mark though has shown signs of a temperament. Refused to race last month but held every chance before last-fence fall on latest outing.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +0%) Zoeman	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Zoeman 5/1, Outpaced but ran to form when 11l third in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m; more to come over fences and likely to stay this bit further. Kept on for third over 2m in first two chases and makes appeal on first attempt at 2m4f.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +11%) Jaitroplaclasse	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Jaitroplaclasse 8/1, Outpaced but ran to form when 10l third in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 2m, acts on any ground; in good form and may have more to offer up in trip. Ran fairly well at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but others appeal more; sports new cheekpieces.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +0%) Another Folly	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Another Folly 7/2, Won by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Stratford two starts ago. Ran to form when second, beaten 8l off 105 last time; same mark here. Effective 2 1/2-3m and in fine form, latest effort boosted. In good form when last seen in the autumn; had wind op during short break.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 +8%) Night Jet	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Night Jet 11/1, Outpaced but ran to form when beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; off a short break. Effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by cut; fair mark on spring form and unexposed over fences, a threat if rain arrives. 2m chase winner last season and made encouraging reappearance over hurdles in October.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +0%) I Am The Moon	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) I Am The Moon 4/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Fakenham last time when beaten; effective at 2 1/2m. On a lenient mark judged on hurdle form and could leave that debut effort behind back on better ground. Promising novice hurdler last season; well held when refusing/unseating on chase debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +46%) The Grey Man	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(5) The Grey Man 15/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; off a short break. Effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and soft; could improve for chasing. Just 1-8 over hurdles but ran well on seasonal debut; a possible if he takes to chasing.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 +8%) Owl Of Athens	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Owl Of Athens 11/1, All but refused and was never competitive after a series of errors when well beaten in a handicap chase at Taunton last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; more to come over fences now stepped up in trip. Safely held in both chases in the autumn but still needs a look in the betting.
9th	3 9th (3) (6/1 -9%) Bolsover Bill	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Bolsover Bill 6/1, Made mistakes and was below form when 35l third in a handicap chase at Fakenham most recently. Effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good to soft; needs to bounce back after a quiet spell. On a very good mark now but both runs since long layoff have been disappointing.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (16/1 +36%) Stopherandgo	16 16/1(+36%)	(12) Stopherandgo 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time; wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 2m but currently out of form. Regressive mare who was pulled up last time and is 7lb out of the weights here.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (20/1 +39%) Lucky Lugger	20 20/1(+39%)	(6) Lucky Lugger 20/1, Made mistakes and may not have stayed when well held in a handicap chase at Haydock last time. Effective at 2m and prefers some cut; inconsistent overall. Yet to strike form after three runs this season and not yet proven over this far.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 +12%) Black Occ	22 22/1(+12%)	(9) Black Occ 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; off a short break. Effective at 2m-2m4f on soft and good ground; should come on for that return run. Pulled up over hurdles in October, after a long absence; looks too risky on chasing debut.

14:17 Ludlow (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

With most of these having questions to answer, ANOTHER FOLLY clearly tops the shortlist. A winner at Stratford in October, the seven-year-old finished second on his only subsequent start the following month and may improve for a wind operation since that outing. The Grey Man showed more when fourth at Ffos Las most recently and edges out Zoeman to be the pick of the remainder.

Third over 2m in his first two chases, ZOEMAN (nap) has shaped as though this longer trip will suit and he gets the nod.

Effective at 2m and handles good ground. Should improve for that effort and may stay further in time. Unexposed mare who shaped promisingly on handicap debut last month after an absence..
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Ip Up	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Ip Up 9/2, Ran to form when third, beaten 6l, in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles heavy and good ground. In form but handicapper barely relenting. Consistent mare who has been holding her form well this term, but likely needs more..
3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 +22%) Tour Ovalie	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Tour Ovalie 7/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here two runs ago. Keen, had too much to do but ran to form when third, beaten 9 1/2l off 118 last time, same mark today. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground; mark looks fair but needs a strong pace. Dual C&D winner who returned to form here last month and should be competitive again..
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 +0%) Golden Falls	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Golden Falls 20/1, May have found the ground too quick when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m and handles ground with cut. Progressive in France, though her current mark looks stiff. Has yet to transfer her French form to these shores, so probably best watched at present..
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Demoiselle Kap	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Demoiselle Kap 7/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Kempton last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground. Consistent and on a fair mark based on chase form. Progressed well over fences/hurdles last season and commands respect after a break..

Outpaced and a bit below form back down in trip when fourth, beaten 18l off 99 last time, same mark here. Effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground. Generally consistent. Has posted some respectable efforts since winning in October, but she likely needs more..
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 -44%) Ufouria	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Ufouria 13/2, Had every chance but ran below form on stable debut when fourth, beaten 17l, in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m and handles yielding to good ground. Irish bumper winner with form that's been franked, though her mark asks more. Capable of better now switching to handicaps following a promising return last month..
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 +0%) Jammy Jay	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Jammy Jay 14/1, Made mistakes but ran to form, possibly outstayed up in trip when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Effective at 2m on good ground. Competitive mark and may benefit from dropping back in trip. Unexposed 6yo; drop back in trip should help but she does appear to be on a tough mark..
9th	9 9th (9) (8/1 +11%) Ask Me Another	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Ask Me Another 8/1, Had every chance but ran below form when fourth, beaten 26l, in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles good to soft and good ground. Fair mark on old form and drop in trip should suit, though may need this run. Drops back in trip after a break and isn't yet fully exposed; interesting contender..

14:52 Ludlow (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Demoiselle Kap has to be respected on her return to action, but her lack of a recent run may just give the edge to IP UP. The eight-year-old has been running consistently well in defeat of late and those efforts suggest that she can be successful off her current mark. Others to note are Jammy Jay, Tour Ovalie and Railway Bell.

Having caught the eye last time, UFOURIA might be worth chancing on handicap debut, though Demoiselle Kap isn't passed over lightly.

Trainer in form; effective at 3m and needs good ground; outside claims taking big drop in class. 2-4 record here includes a C&D handicap win (soft); may leave seasonal return run behind..

Returning from a long layoff and effective over 3m; was in good form when last seen. First and second in Sandown's military races in 2025; may prefer somewhere more testing..
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +0%) Take All	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Take All 5/1, Finished fourth, beaten 6l in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and barely stays 3m; acts on any ground but prefers decent conditions; remains well treated on old form and the slight drop in trip may help, as will this sharp track where he has a good record. 7l behind Gracchus De Balme at Haydock last term; solid return in a Cheltenham handicap..

Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and prefers a sound surface; better ground should suit and not dismissed down in class. C&D winner last season; some tough tasks of late, but better expected at Fakenham latest..
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (7/4 +47%) Gracchus De Balme	1.75 7/4(+47%)	(3) Gracchus De Balme 7/4, Went clear readily and outclassed rivals when winning a hunter chase at Stratford by 15l last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on any ground; an Aintree winner last term with a class edge, a big player if fit. Absence since all-the-way 3m3f Stratford win in May is no issue; may not be for catching..
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (15/8 0%) St Cuthbert's Cave	1.875 15/8(0%)	(6) St Cuthbert's Cave 15/8, Ran to form when winning an open point at Hexham P-T-P Course by 5 1/2l last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on any ground; in fine form at the end of last year and unexposed for this yard, could be a useful recruit to this sphere. 2m (good), 3m (good to soft) and 2m4f (heavy) winner the last thrice; many bases covered..
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (33/1 -32%) Frontal Assault	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Frontal Assault 33/1, Produced a modest effort when second, beaten 4 1/2l in a point at Tabley last time. Returning from a long layoff and effective over 3m+; no longer looks the force of old. Second on last four point starts, but no threat in hunter chases; losing run is extending..

Returning from a long layoff and effective over 3m; has plenty to find on rules form. Double between the flags in early 2025, but tougher tasks on last two starts; opposed..

15:27 Ludlow (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A few of these appeal but none more so than GRACCHUS DE BALME, who won the Foxhunters' at Aintree in April. He came up short at Cheltenham next time but didn't take long to get back into the winning groove, notching up a comprehensive success at Stratford. Conditions should suit the veteran who, on these terms at least, should go very close. Similar comments apply to stable companion St Cuthbert's Cave, whilst previous course winner Take All and Java Point are a couple of others to be interested in.

High achiever Gracchus De Balme isn't lightly opposed, but stablemate ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE is progressing and ever more versatile.

16:02 Ludlow (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The Procrastinator made the perfect start to her racing career at Doncaster but this will be tougher under a penalty, and it is STARS ALIGN that gets the vote. Nicky Henderson boasts a 36 percent strike-rate in bumpers at this venue and the filly, his only runner on the card, could enhance that record. That said the market is likely to guide, as it is with the likes of Steal A Glance and L'amandine, and spare a thought for Graceful Glance, who would be deserving of a maiden triumph having finished second on both of her racecourse appearances.

If running less green this time, GRACEFUL GLANCE can make it third-time lucky. Wait For This goes close if settling better.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
