13:13 Ludlow (Class 4) 15f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2/1 +60%) Down To Business	2 2/1(+60%)	(1) Down To Business 2/1, Was a bit keen but ran to form when fourth, beaten 11l, in a 4yo hurdle at Ascot last time, just tiring late on ground softer than ideal. Effective at 2m over hurdles and has a chance for an in-form yard. A maiden with ability; needs to settle better but this sharp track could benefit him.
6	6 (6) (11/4 +45%) Talakan	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(6) Talakan 11/4, Finished strongly on a very promising debut when third, beaten 8/1l, in a 4yo hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground. More to come judged on French Flat form. Flat winner in France; encouraging third on hurdling debut at Ascot last month (soft).
3	3 (3) (3/1 -9%) King Al	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) King Al 3/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 4/1l, in a 4yo hurdle at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m and acts with cut. In form and should find a race soon over hurdles. Dual Flat winner who has made a bright start over hurdles; met a good one last time.
7	7 (7) (3/1 -100%) Wolf Rayet	3 3/1(-100%)	(7) Wolf Rayet 3/1, Was short of room and flattened out up the hill but improved from debut when fourth, beaten 11l, in a juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Off a short break and stays 2m over hurdles. A repeat of his fourth at Cheltenham would give him every chance at this level.
2	2 (2) (15/2 +0%) Gallivanted	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(2) Gallivanted 15/2, The yard won this race last year. Improved to get off the mark when upped in trip, winning a maiden at Kempton by a neck last time. Trainer is in form, had a wind operation, and brings potential to hurdles. Lightly raced on the Flat, last seen winning a 1m4f maiden on the AW last May.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +36%) Madame De Labrunie	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Madame De Labrunie 9/1, Stepped up on her British debut when a 7l third in a juvenile hurdle at Taunton on her most recent run. Effective at 2m and suited by cut. Has a chance in this. Latest third at Taunton is below the level that some in here have achieved.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -25%) Silvereen	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Silvereen 50/1, Ran to a similar level to her debut when well beaten in a juvenile bumper at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m. Improvement is possible now she switches to hurdling. Comfortably held in two bumpers, on good ground here and then soft at Hereford.
4	4 (4) (200/1 +0%) Lasswade	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Lasswade 200/1, Was too keen and below form when beaten 9/1l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Hood is fitted for the first time. Has shown little on the Flat and is hard to make a case for on hurdles debut. Very limited maiden on the Flat (0-11) and makes no real appeal on this change of codes.

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

WOLF RAYET proved his 40/1 Chepstow second was no fluke when running well for fourth in a good contest at Cheltenham. He holds a Triumph Hurdle entry and although that seems fanciful at this stage, victory here would mean he wouldn't look out of place in something like the Fred Winter. King Al chased home a classy juvenile at Kempton and is feared most, and Down To Business has also shown enough to warrant an interest. Gallivanted is rated 79 on the level and has joined Harry Derham after changing hands for 70,000gns.

A few have chances in a decent juvenile hurdle but WOLF RAYET's fourth at Cheltenham is well worth an upgrade.

13:48 Ludlow (Class 4) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (9/2 +25%) Afancy Getaway	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Afancy Getaway 9/2, Point winner who was asked to do too much when upped in trip last time. Trainer is in form and first-time tongue-tie may help her settle better back at a more suitable distance. She'll need improvement in the tongue-tie if she's to win this.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +56%) No Flies On Her	7 7/1(+56%)	(9) No Flies On Her 7/1, Fell when weakening on her first hurdle start here. May improve for that experience but still has something to prove. On the retreat when falling two out over C&D before Christmas; bit to prove after that run.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +13%) Borna Gem	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Borna Gem 14/1, Showed bumper-level ability when placed in a selling hurdle on her return. Capable over this sort of trip but faces a tougher task outside selling company. Back from an absence to finish a well-held third in a 2m4f seller a month ago.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +13%) Khutulun Khan	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Khutulun Khan 14/1, Green on hurdles debut but has useful bumper form to her name. Should be capable of better with that experience behind her. Well held on hurdling debut at Fontwell after an absence; could be sharper here.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +84%) Warrioress	16 16/1(+84%)	(11) Warrioress 16/1, Pulled up on her hurdles debut but has point-to-point form over 3m. Likely capable of better than that initial run. Second in an Irish point but pulled up on hurdling debut when a 16-1 chance.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +20%) Jax Belle	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Jax Belle 20/1, Improved markedly in cheekpieces when third in a mares' bumper. Now switches to hurdles and may progress further over this longer trip. Ran better in her second bumper at Fontwell but that's still ordinary form.
5	5 (5) (100/1 +0%) Feeling Frisky	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Feeling Frisky 100/1, Well beaten in a handicap hurdle last time and returns from a break. Needs a significant bounce back to feature. 0-2 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles, and her third was remote; has no form claims.
10	10 (10) (250/1 -25%) Porridge	250 250/1(-25%)	(10) Porridge 250/1, Pulled up last time and remains well below a winning level. Hard to recommend on recent evidence. Pulled up at huge odds in two low-grade handicap hurdles this season (3m1f/3m2f).
12	12 (12) (250/1 -25%) Wishful Wings	250 250/1(-25%)	(12) Wishful Wings 250/1, Modest effort in novice hurdles so far. Effective in points but likely needs more time under rules. Impossible to make a form case after heavy defeats under rules.

It's fascinating that Willie Mullins sends DIAMOND DU BERLAIS over for her debut for the stable. The five-year-old has held her own in good company in France, was snapped up for 160,000 euros last summer and she is likely to prove a warm order. Afancy Getaway has yet to live up to her impressive point-to-point form since going hurdling, but cannot be written off yet. No Flies On Her could collect minor money.

A rare runner in Shropshire for Willie Mullins, it will be very disappointing if DIAMOND DU BERLAIS isn't too classy for these.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (11/8 +15%) Kiwi Rush	1.375 11/8(+15%)	(6) Kiwi Rush 11/8, All but fell as the race was developing and then tired up the hill when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham. Trainer is in form and he is capable of much better when settling and brushing up on his jumping. Bumper winner; stumbled badly three out when beaten 15l at Cheltenham the last time.
8	8 (8) (9/4 -13%) Sherminator	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(8) Sherminator 9/4, Was keeping on in midfield when falling in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last time. This was his second run after a wind operation, and he is effective at 2m, so is not dismissed. Dual hurdle winner; fell two out at Cheltenham and hadn't been asked a serious question.
11	11 (11) (5/2 +29%) First Candidate	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(11) First Candidate 5/2, Improved when tried in a tongue-tie and dropped in trip, beaten 8 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m, likely to get further, and a point winner who should have more to offer. Ridden quieter at Huntingdon and stayed on takingly behind respected opposition.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +44%) Drakaris	9 9/1(+44%)	(9) Drakaris 9/1, Ran to form when finishing a 5l third in a mares' bumper at Sedgefield on her most recent start. Effective at 2m and should improve now that she switches to hurdling. Ran okay in two Sedgefield bumpers but came up well short.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -80%) Kado Sacree	9 9/1(-80%)	(5) Kado Sacree 9/1, Did his best work late over an inadequate trip when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m1f but needs further, with this trip again on the short side. Posted similar RPRs in three runs over hurdles and needs to find extra here.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +52%) Emerald Time	16 16/1(+52%)	(2) Emerald Time 16/1, Despite not getting a clear run, he still improved on debut when second, beaten 4l, in a bumper at Warwick. Returning from a long layoff and effective at 2m, with improvement likely now hurdling. His second in small-field Warwick bumper (good) isn't bad form; that was last May.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Lejo Du Seuil	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Lejo Du Seuil 25/1, Needed the run on his stable debut when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Newbury. An ex-French runner who should do better once switched to handicapping. Runner-up over hurdles in France; market drifter (40s) when tailed off in a Newbury novice.
10	10 (10) (33/1 +18%) Final Escape	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Final Escape 33/1, Jumped poorly and looked unenthusiastic, proving too green to show anything when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Worcester. Absent for a very lengthy period and yet to deliver on Irish bumper promise, so likely to need this. Runner-up in a Galway bumper back in 2023 but showed little in two maidens for mares.
1	1 (1) (50/1 -25%) Can U Feel It	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Can U Feel It 50/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when below form, well beaten in a novice hurdle at Kempton on his final qualifying run up in class. Likely to need further than 2m over hurdles once going handicapping. Tailed off in two of his three races over hurdles and was beaten 21l in the other.
12	12 (12) (66/1 0%) Jessie's Giant	66 66/1(0%)	(12) Jessie's Giant 66/1, Ran below her debut level when well beaten in a maiden bumper at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 2m and should improve a little now that she goes hurdling. First bumper run was far more promising than the second; opposable on hurdle debut.
3	3 (3) (200/1 -100%) Fanny Moon	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Fanny Moon 200/1, Ran a bit below his best when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time. Looks to want further than 2m and appears the type to do better once going handicapping. Down the field in two bumpers and a similar tale over hurdles; outclassed here.

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

SHERMINATOR came to grief in the Cheltenham event won so easily by Supreme hotpot Old Park Star at Cheltenham, but showed a useful level of ability in winning at Newbury and Taunton last season. As they were Junior NH events, he escapes a penalty and can get his career back on track. Kiwi Rush was useful in bumpers and has contested some good races since going jumping. He is joined on the list of dangers by First Candidate, who is the pick of the Skelton pair.

Harry Fry's SHERMINATOR was still going okay when falling at Cheltenham in a novice won by Supreme favourite Old Park Star.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (5/1 +0%) Toothless	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Toothless 5/1, Returned to form when benefitting from his reappearance to land a handicap by 3l at Windsor last time off a mark 5lb lower. Effective at 2m-2m4f and could progress from that performance. His second run back from long absence when nicely on top in the finish at Windsor; up 5lb.
1	1 (1) (5/4 +0%) Rodney	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(1) Rodney 5/4, Travelled well and went clear cosily when improving up in trip to land a handicap by 4 1/4l at Hereford last time off a mark 10lb lower. Effective at 2m-2m4f and there may be more to come. Plenty went right last time at Hereford (10lb lower) but looks a chaser on the upgrade.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +0%) Joker De Mai	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) Joker De Mai 8/1, Outpaced but showed a better effort when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap chase at Newbury latest, looking in need of a stiffer test. Effective at 2m-2m4f and fairly treated on best form. Encouraging run at Newbury and returning to slower ground over further could be beneficial.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Pepe Le Moko	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Pepe Le Moko 9/1, Made too much use of when finishing a 20l third in a handicap chase at Hereford on his most recent run. Effective at around 2m4f and has a chance in this company. Near miss over C&D in December; ridden too positively when behind Rodney at Hereford.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +0%) Charles Ritz	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(3) Charles Ritz 11/2, Returned to his 2024 best when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l at Southwell last time off a mark 4lb lower. Comes here after a short break and his new mark still looks competitive. The Southwell race he won fell apart but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +0%) Regal Renaissance	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(8) Regal Renaissance 13/2, Was running on when falling late in a handicap chase over this course last time and would have gone close to making the frame. Effective at 2m4f and a consistent performer. In the process of running another good race at this track when falling two out in December.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Palamon	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Palamon 14/1, Outpaced and needed the run after a wind operation on stable debut when well beaten in a handicap chase at Haydock most recently, also finding the trip too sharp. This is his second run after the procedure. Talented in Ireland but never got remotely involved on stable debut at Haydock.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Tax For Max	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Tax For Max 25/1, Showed an awkward head carriage and disappointed when stepping up in trip, being comfortably held in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. That was his second run after a wind operation and he is currently out of form. He was well behind Toothless on return to fences at Windsor (after wind operation).

14:58 Ludlow (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Rodney fell when looking the likely winner on his chasing debut at Bangor, but bounced back from his next start at Warwick to score at Leicester and Hereford. The progressive seven-year-old commands plenty of respect, but a 10lb higher mark requires another step forward and the vote goes to TOOTHLESS. Paul Nicholls' gelding improved from his return at Wincanton to get his head back in front at Windsor and is capable of handling a 5lb rise. Charles Ritz and Regal Renaissance appear best of the remainder.

A few with chances but JOKER DE MAI ran better at Newbury and there's good reason to believe he can find something on that form.

8	8 (8) (3/1 +0%) Sallyville Lady	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Sallyville Lady 3/1, Confirmed her debut level of form when second, beaten 8l, in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective over 2m5f to 2m6f with plenty of cut, and there may be more to come now that she goes handicapping. Made the frame in two novice hurdles in the autumn; can improve in handicaps; big player.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +0%) Masked Dance	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Masked Dance 4/1, Ran to form when suited by a positive ride at a sharp track and up in trip, benefitting from a drop in class to land a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground, and is consistent, though her mark looks about right. Career-best form when winning from the front over C&D in December; respected.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +0%) Hellfire Princess	6 6/1(+0%)	(10) Hellfire Princess 6/1, Did it readily when landing a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time. Returns from a short break and is effective at around 2m4f to 2m6f on soft and good ground. Back in form and remains competitive. Stayed on well to score by 6l at Ffos Las in November; player if emphasis is on stamina.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +0%) Magical Maggie	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Magical Maggie 7/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap hurdle here last time. Returns from a short break and is effective at around 2m on soft and good ground. Generally consistent, and a longer trip may suit. Dual 2m course winner; back from long absence with satisfactory run in December; stamina?.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Hard Dealt	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Hard Dealt 7/1, Ran to form when well placed in a race dominated from the front, but was unable to reverse form with the winner when beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Aintree last time. Effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground, and is capable off this mark. Ended 2025 with two creditable seconds and may still have a bigger performance in her.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Dramatic Encore	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Dramatic Encore 8/1, Did not find much and may have found the ground too soft when fourth, beaten 33l, in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, the trainer is in form, and she returns from a short break. Effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground, and had been consistent prior to her latest run. Low-mileage 6yo; below form last time but has possibilities if aided by new cheekpieces.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +0%) Pismo Beach	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Pismo Beach 8/1, Flattened out after a late error, having refused to settle, when finishing 9 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. A tongue-tie is applied for the first time and she is usually held up. Effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground, but more is needed. Just 1-8 over hurdles but ended 2025 with two good efforts; probably won't be far way.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +0%) Greyval	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Greyval 10/1, Flattened out over a trip that stretched when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Suited by 2m4f and effective on soft and good ground, and has been a consistent performer overall. Won valuable final of this series last April but would appeal much more on good ground.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) Victoria Milano	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Victoria Milano 16/1, Faded before falling late after a wind operation in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. This is her second run after the procedure and she is effective over 2m4f to 3m on soft and good ground. Should come on for her latest run, but needs to bounce back. Looked held before falling quite heavily on last month's seasonal/stable debut.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Notnowlinda	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Notnowlinda 25/1, Not given a hard time and may not have stayed when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time. Returns from a short break and is effective over 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface, but needs to prove her ability remains after a layoff. Returned from long absence with two low-key runs in November; revival needed.
7	7 (7) (28/1 +15%) Our Bill's Aunt	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Our Bill's Aunt 28/1, The yard won this race last year, but she was below form and may have needed the run when fourth, beaten 47l, in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Returns from a short break and is effective over 2m4f, though she is suited by plenty of cut. Won twice in early 2025 but returned from layoff with heavy defeat in December.

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

Masked Dance's C&D victory in December was boosted by the runner-up scoring at Chepstow last week and the eight-year-old has to enter calculations once again. That said, the vote goes to handicap debutant SALLYVILLE LADY. Dan Skelton's mare has shown promise on both hurdle outings and an opening mark of 111 appears to be workable. Hard Dealt chased home the same progressive winner at Uttoxeter and Aintree, and is respected along with Pismo Beach.

The suggestion is HARD DEALT, who ended last year with two good efforts and is not yet fully exposed.

8	8 (8) (5/1 +0%) Shuil Ceoil	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Shuil Ceoil 5/1, Returned to form off a reduced mark when second, beaten 11l, in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time on better ground. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground, but needs to build on that recent revival. Needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud.
10	10 (10) (5/1 +0%) My Fortune	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) My Fortune 5/1, Outpaced but improved when fourth, beaten 33l, in a novice hurdle at Kempton last time, and looked in need of further. Trainer is in form, he is effective at 2m on good ground, and may do better in time now handicapping. May approve of this first crack at a handicap after struggling in novices over shorter.
2	2 (2) (7/4 +0%) Following Chapter	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(2) Following Chapter 7/4, Improved up in trip when landing a handicap comfortably by 4l off an 8lb lower mark at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m–2m4f, acts with cut, is still learning, and there is likely a bit more to come. Still looked green in front when winning at Warwick so could well cope with 8lb more.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Unleash The Beast	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Unleash The Beast 8/1, Bit below form and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m and acts with cut, and should come on for that reappearance. Probably has to improve for the longer trip but pedigree offers hope in that respect.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +0%) Moorland Rambler	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Moorland Rambler 9/1, Returned to form when third, beaten 13l, in a lower-grade handicap hurdle at Exeter last time, a favoured venue. Effective at 2m–2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground, but remains inconsistent. Behind Shuil Ceoil last time at Exeter and wouldn't be certain to back that up.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +0%) Moonlightinthepark	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Moonlightinthepark 12/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Haydock last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time, is effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground, with a longer trip expected to suit now handicapping. She's just the type who could raise her profile in handicaps; raised in distance.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +0%) Times A Wastin	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Times A Wastin 14/1, Produced his best run to date when fifth in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m–3m on a sound surface, and his mark continues to ease. He'll need more and this longer trip isn't an obvious positive on ground this slow.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +0%) Ocean Walz	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) Ocean Walz 14/1, Again ran to a moderate level when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground, and may do better now going handicapping. Could raise his game now into handicaps but a lengthy absence is not ideal.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Catboy	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Catboy 14/1, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 2m–2m4f, but is out of form. Dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +0%) Windsor Blue	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Windsor Blue 20/1, Disappointing handicap debut when fourth, beaten 30l, in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m5f and acts on good ground, but needs more to defy what looks a stiff mark. 28-1 for handicap debut over C&D and there was no improvement in that run; down only 2lb.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +0%) Lion Of The Desert	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Lion Of The Desert 33/1, May not have stayed when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time after stepping up in trip. Effective at 2m–2m4f and acts on yielding and good ground, but more is needed for his new yard. Not had a lot of racing and was perhaps stretched by 3m at Taunton last time.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +0%) Getaway Sam	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Getaway Sam 33/1, Made too much use of when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective at 2m in bumpers, but has all to prove over hurdles. Tired when pulling up before two out on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, soft).
13	13 (13) (50/1 +0%) Outback Frontiers	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Outback Frontiers 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Windsor last time and was well below form, having not been helped by slipping. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m–2m4f on a sound surface, but a bounce back is required. Returns to hurdling (dual winner) from 7lb out of the weights and that's not ideal.

It's easy to assume that FOLLOWING CHAPTER has more to offer after he overcame a bit of greenness to score decisively at Warwick's New Year's Eve fixture. That was the six-year-old's best performance so far and an 8lb rise appears to leave him with room for manoeuvre on just his third start in handicap company. Shuil Ceoil (second) and Moorland Rambler (third) plugged on to fill the frame behind a ready winner at Exeter last month. They might find the same fate awaits here.

Clearcut Warwick winner FOLLOWING CHAPTER (nap) could easily be progressive enough to deal with an 8lb rise.

Effective at 2m-2m7f under rules and retains significant potential. Strong chance. Unbeaten in hunter chases after completing a hat-trick between March and May of last year.
4	4 (4) (9/4 0%) Jeffery's Cross	2.25 9/4(0%)	(4) Jeffery's Cross 9/4, The yard won this race last year. Ran to form when second, beaten 9 1/2l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 3m-4m1f and generally consistent. Has been handicapping; he's a hunter chase winner with the form to be very competitive.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +39%) What A Glance	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(3) What A Glance 11/2, Modest effort when beaten 5l in an open point at Larkhill last time. Returns from a short break and is effective at 3m+. Formerly useful in this sphere and not ruled out. Proven in hunter chases and didn't run too badly after an absence at Larkhill.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +44%) Bardenstown Lad	10 10/1(+44%)	(1) Bardenstown Lad 10/1, Pulled up in a hunter chase at Newton Abbot last time. Returns from a long layoff and is best around 3m on a sound surface. May just need this outing. Capable on his day but badly let down by his jumping on last two starts.

16:42 Ludlow (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

After six wins in his last seven starts in hunter chases and point-to-points, BARTON SNOW is impossible to overlook. A slight concern is that he's only raced once since May, but he won by a distance at Sheriff Hutton last month and the signs were all positive. The consistent Jeffery's Cross is the pick of the rest based on his best form under Rules. This represents a big drop in class and he must be taken seriously. What A Glance completes the shortlist.

Jeffery's Cross is big danger back at this level and What A Glance isn't dismissed, but BARTON SNOW has momentum behind him.
