1
1st (7) (25/1 -79%) Method Madness
25/1(-79%)
(7) Method Madness 25/1, Fair form in bumpers, improving when 7 lengths second of 9 in maiden event at Downpatrick on final outing in September. Hood now added for hurdle/stable debut and worth a market check.
2
2nd (3) (2.5/1 -25%) Forever Des Long
2.5/1(-25%)
(3) Forever Des Long 2.5/1, Disappointing on return in Hexham maiden hurdle having looked progressive last term. Took a step back in right direction in a jumpers bumper 13 days ago and hopefully he can kick on now back hurdling.
3
3rd (9) (1.5/1 +25%) Olympic Conqueror
1.5/1(+25%)
(9) Olympic Conqueror 1.5/1, Fairly useful up to 1½m on the Flat for James Fanshawe and made a perfectly satisfactory start over hurdles when third in a C&D novice 34 days ago. Open to improvement and solid contender.
4
4th (13) (16/1 -33%) Ronde De Nuit
16/1(-33%)
(13) Ronde De Nuit 16/1, Fair form on sole run on Flat in France. Showed a bit on Ascot hurdle debut but only eight of 9 in a similar event at this venue since. Still, it’s too soon to be writing him off.
5th
5th (1) (300/1 -100%) Blue Beirut
300/1(-100%)
(1) Blue Beirut 300/1, Modest maiden at best on Flat and as expected didn't go with much encouragement sent hurdling over C&D last month.
6th
6th (2) (8/1 -60%) Duke Of Earl
8/1(-60%)
(2) Duke Of Earl 8/1, £62,000 3-y-o, Noroit gelding. Half-brother to French 19f hurdle winner Hannahel Sivola. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (2m-19f winner) Quatre Heures. Newcomer from a respected stable.
7th
7th (10) (50/1 +50%) Rod's Dream
50/1(+50%)
(10) Rod's Dream 50/1, Third sole start in bumpers back in May 2017, but has made little impact in a pair of hurdle outings for new yard since returning to action.
8th
8th (4) (33/1 +78%) Guns For Hire
33/1(+78%)
(4) Guns For Hire 33/1, Well held in Irish bumper/both starts over hurdles.
9th
9th (6) (500/1 -233%) Helovaplan
500/1(-233%)
(6) Helovaplan 500/1, Fair on Flat but below best in that sphere in 2020 and showed nothing fitted with a hood on hurdling debut over C&D last month.
10th
10th (12) (50/1 -178%) Well Briefed
50/1(-178%)
(12) Well Briefed 50/1, €3,000 3-y-o, £15,000 5-y-o, Mahler mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Bugsie Malone, and half-sister to fairly useful chaser Royal Tara. Point winner, made frame last time (Dec 6).
11th
11th (8) (100/1 -25%) Obey The Rules
100/1(-25%)
(8) Obey The Rules 100/1, Cost £20,000 after finishing runner-up on his second start in Irish points, but early evidence suggests he's a longer-term project under Rules.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (3.33/1 +0%) Jaunty Freyja
3.33/1(+0%)
(11) Jaunty Freyja 3.33/1, Related to winners and has a laid a solid foundation in bumpers, reproducing her reappearance effort when second of 14 at Hereford (16.2f) 44 days ago. Type to win races over hurdles.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (400/1 -167%) Havana Sunset
400/1(-167%)
(5) Havana Sunset 400/1, Modest 1m maiden on Flat who has stamina to prove now switching to hurdles.
LTO Selection:
13:20 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Ben Brody 4.5/1, Overcame a couple of mistakes when readily seeing off reopposing Flight to Nowhere at Warwick in December. Perhaps not over those exertions when only fifth at Bangor a fortnight later.
2
2nd (9) (18/1 +28%) Fair To Dream
18/1(+28%)
(9) Fair To Dream 18/1, Poor hurdler who hasn't taken to chasing and is set for another struggle.
3
3rd (7) (14/1 -65%) Flight To Nowhere
14/1(-65%)
(7) Flight To Nowhere 14/1, Winning hurdler who was having just her second outing over fences when 10 lengths second to Ben Brody at Warwick on New Year's Eve. Well held over longer trip there since and quickly returned to 2m.
4
4th (6) (1.25/1 +41%) Brooksway Fair
1.25/1(+41%)
(6) Brooksway Fair 1.25/1, Well held in 3 novice hurdles in the autumn but beat quite a useful sort when winning sole point and could easily prove a different proposition now handicap chasing. Market support significant.
5th
5th (10) (40/1 -150%) The City Cobbler
40/1(-150%)
(10) The City Cobbler 40/1, Well held in bumpers/novice hurdles. Had wind surgery ahead of this switch to fences for handicap debut. Early days but could only consider if backed.
6th
6th (11) (66/1 -230%) Ifandabut
66/1(-230%)
(11) Ifandabut 66/1, Exeter handicap hurdle winner back in early-2019 but hasn't seriously threatened since. Remains to be seen if a switch to fences improves matters.
7th
7th (4) (14/1 -17%) Ocean Voyage
14/1(-17%)
(4) Ocean Voyage 14/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gordon Elliott but hasn't fired in 3 handicap hurdles for new yard this winter. Switch to fences need to have positive effect.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (7/1 -8%) Bang On
7/1(-8%)
(1) Bang On 7/1, Went close in 2m Bangor handicap hurdle in December but hasn't reproduced that since, including detached after early mistake and pulled up halfway on Uttoxeter chase debut on Sunday.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (7.5/1 +46%) Some Spin
7.5/1(+46%)
(3) Some Spin 7.5/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland last summer but not in anything like the same form in 3 outings for new yard, including a handicap when last seen in November. Now tries chasing after a break.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (12/1 +0%) Maxi Jazz
12/1(+0%)
(8) Maxi Jazz 12/1, Little form over hurdles. Slightly better signs when third in C&D handicap on chase debut but both runs since disappointing. Return to this venue needs to help spark a revival.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(8) Frenchy Du Large 3.5/1, Placed all 4 starts in bumpers (fair form) and runner-up on second hurdles start at Uttoxeter in November. However, made little impact in a pair of handicaps but this step up in trip should suit.
2
2nd (7) (1.75/1 +47%) Bells Of Peterboro
1.75/1(+47%)
(7) Bells Of Peterboro 1.75/1, Confirmed the promise of his reappearance as he picked up a second win in 3 starts when making all at Fakenham (20f, heavy) 27 days ago. He's a straightforward sort who should go well again.
3
3rd (6) (25/1 -257%) Tip Top Cat
25/1(-257%)
(6) Tip Top Cat 25/1, Well beaten on hurdles debut last February, but much better effort when third in 19f Warwick novice later that month. Jumped poorly on return/chase bow last month and now switches back over timber.
4
4th (9) (5/1 +23%) Butler's Brief
5/1(+23%)
(9) Butler's Brief 5/1, Confirmed promise of reappearance to finally open his account in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft) in December. That wasn't much of a race however so probably worth taking on here.
5th
5th (2) (50/1 -52%) Hurricane Dylan
50/1(-52%)
(2) Hurricane Dylan 50/1, Ex-pointer/dual hurdle winner who opened chase account at Leicester (22.7f) in early 2019. Pulled up on final 2 starts for Kevin Frost and is probably best watched after 18 months off the track.
6th
6th (11) (6.5/1 -18%) Seymour Sox
6.5/1(-18%)
(11) Seymour Sox 6.5/1, Opened his account at Hereford (2m) last term and shaped as if better for the run after 10 months off when fifth of 12 there 69 days ago. Can strip fitter now.
7th
7th (3) (40/1 -60%) Holly James
40/1(-60%)
(3) Holly James 40/1, Bumper/hurdles winner but he has made an inauspicious start over fences this winter, well beaten on all 3 starts. Similar story over timber 9 days ago and blinkers now reached for.
8th
8th (5) (16/1 -45%) Rockhamtom
16/1(-45%)
(5) Rockhamtom 16/1, Leading Light gelding whose stamina was seemingly stretched on Market Rasen handicap debut (23.1f) last time. Drop back in trip will suit, and he seems sure to go well.
9th
9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Mr Mcguiness
150/1(-127%)
(10) Mr Mcguiness 150/1, Last got his head in front back in June 2017 and showed nothing following a 12-month absence when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, soft, 50/1) 85 days ago.
|PU|
|PU| (12) (10/1 +0%) Samson's Reach
10/1(+0%)
(12) Samson's Reach 10/1, On a long losing run and hard to catch right, well held at Hereford (19.6f) early last month. Tongue tie goes on for the first time but needs to bounce back.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (22/1 -38%) Virginia Chick
22/1(-38%)
(4) Virginia Chick 22/1, Lost his way over fences at the end of last season and no real sign of revival in chase/hurdles since returning to action. Others preferred despite tumbling mark.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Lust For Glory 1.75/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who posted fairly useful effort when gaining first chase success in 19.4f Wetherby novice in January. Creditable fourth in jumpers bumper since and player back over fences.
2
2nd (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Danse Idol
5.5/1(+15%)
(3) Danse Idol 5.5/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who disappointed over fences/hurdles for Paul Nicholls late last year. Has since switched yards and interesting what the market makes of her.
3
3rd (2) (200/1 -100%) Carpool
200/1(-100%)
(2) Carpool 200/1, Runner-up twice in maiden/novice hurdle company in 2019/20 but hit-and-miss since switched to handicaps and record over hurdles stands at 0-14. Well held in jumpers bumper since. Chase debut.
4
4th (6) (200/1 -186%) Wildkatze
200/1(-186%)
(6) Wildkatze 200/1, Modest ex-French hurdler who goes chasing now for new yard after 13 months off. Likely outsider.
|F|
|F| (4) (1.62/1 +19%) Liberty Bella
1.62/1(+19%)
(4) Liberty Bella 1.62/1, Fairly useful dual winning hurdler who has shown even better form when in the frame in listed mares novice chases on her last 2 starts. Likely there's an even bigger effort in her locker.
|F|
|F| (5) (5/1 +64%) Organdi
5/1(+64%)
(5) Organdi 5/1, Notched third success over hurdles in a 21f mares' handicap here in October 2019. Likely Taunton return in November was needed (first start for 13 months) and she's an interesting chase recruit.

1st (7) (7.5/1 -15%) Subcontinent
7.5/1(-15%)
(7) Subcontinent 7.5/1, Fairly useful 21f hurdles winner who matched that form over fences on return when runner-up at Bangor. However, failed to build on that next 3 starts.
2
2nd (5) (14/1 -17%) Dieu Vivant
14/1(-17%)
(5) Dieu Vivant 14/1, Ended last season on a high with a C&D hunter success but just one creditable effort from 3 outings this term, seemingly amiss at Wincanton last time.
3
3rd (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Volcano
2.5/1(-11%)
(3) Volcano 2.5/1, Has taken well to fences, bagging handicaps 3 of last 4 starts, including at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Probably isn't handicapped out of things yet despite an 11 lb rise.
4
4th (4) (1.25/1 +23%) Ballycross
1.25/1(+23%)
(4) Ballycross 1.25/1, Unreliable type but well treated and shaped with encouragement on both starts for new yard this term. One to note.
5th
5th (6) (16/1 -33%) Sumkindofking
16/1(-33%)
(6) Sumkindofking 16/1, Course winner but well held all 3 starts this season. Others make more appeal.
6th
6th (8) (125/1 -39%) Full Glass
125/1(-39%)
(8) Full Glass 125/1, One-time useful chaser but not the force of old and has failed to complete for current yard. Readily passed over.
7th
7th (2) (5/1 +0%) Arthur's Gift
5/1(+0%)
(2) Arthur's Gift 5/1, Fairly useful winning 3m chaser. Below par both starts this season but is becoming well treated.

1st (1) (18/1 -13%) Byzantium Lad
18/1(-13%)
(1) Byzantium Lad 18/1, Yeats gelding. Closely related to fair chaser Stormy Milan, stays 3¼m, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Lisdoonvarna Lad, stays 3m. Point winner, unseated rider last time (Feb 2020).
2
2nd (2) (20/1 +29%) Connard
20/1(+29%)
(2) Connard 20/1, Remains with one standout effort over fences when third at Gowran almost 2 years ago. Little show both starts last season and not much better in novice at Chepstow on debut for new stable.
3
3rd (4) (0.53/1 +27%) Onchan
0.53/1(+27%)
(4) Onchan 0.53/1, Promising hurdler who was back on track when second in novice at this course last time and, with that form having been boosted by the winner, he's up to going one better with the longer trip no issue.
4
4th (7) (25/1 -56%) Minim Mouse
25/1(-56%)
(7) Minim Mouse 25/1, Victory Note mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Forget The Past. Multiple point winner, runner-up last time (Dec 12).
5th
5th (5) (6/1 +14%) Ranieri
6/1(+14%)
(5) Ranieri 6/1, Winning pointer who shaped encouragingly when third on Rules debut in Hereford novice (25.5f) but has failed to build on it, leaving him with something to prove.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (4/1 +11%) Minella Royale
4/1(+11%)
(3) Minella Royale 4/1, Easy winner of an Irish point on debut in November 2018 and shaped as if retaining ability when an encouraging fifth in novice at Warwick on hurdling debut 76 days ago. Should improve from that.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (33/1 -267%) Ingeborg Zilling
33/1(-267%)
(6) Ingeborg Zilling 33/1, £20,000 4-y-o, Mahler mare. Dam (h113) 17f hurdle winner, also 11.5f winner on Flat. Won point on debut in December. Stable not known for having winning Rules debutants.

1st (6) (8/1 +0%) Eddiemaurice
8/1(+0%)
(6) Eddiemaurice 8/1, Good servant for this yard and a regular in ta handicap at Kempton, fifth in December's renewal. Eased 2 lb and he can remain competitive.
2
2nd (7) (3.33/1 +61%) Star Of Rory
3.33/1(+61%)
(7) Star Of Rory 3.33/1, Signed off last term on a winning note over 21.3f at this venue. Fell at Warwick but showed no ill effects when third at Chepstow last month. Down in trip.
3
3rd (2) (8/1 +0%) Ey Up Rocky
8/1(+0%)
(2) Ey Up Rocky 8/1, Fairly useful bumper winner and off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt at Newbury in March 2019. Not seen since, but is at least in very good hands.
4
4th (3) (5/1 -262%) Robinshill
5/1(-262%)
(3) Robinshill 5/1, Superbly prepared back from 10 months off, winning all 3 starts in the autumn (2 here) over hurdles and fences. Lower mark over these obstacles is justified but still demands respect.
5th
5th (1) (3.33/1 +49%) Nordic Combined
3.33/1(+49%)
(1) Nordic Combined 3.33/1, Opened hurdles account at Taunton final run last term. Resolution when push comes to shove often missing with him though and mistakes have also crept in of late.
6th
6th (4) (12/1 +76%) Gerolamo Cardano
12/1(+76%)
(4) Gerolamo Cardano 12/1, Scored in good style on Hereford hurdle debut a year ago, but failed to kick on, pulling up in Fred Winter at Cheltenham. No impact on reappearance and needs help for the assessor. Has had a wind op.
7th
7th (8) (8/1 -33%) Lisheen Castle
8/1(-33%)
(8) Lisheen Castle 8/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f). Bought for 50,000 gns and made winning debut over hurdles in January 2019. Off since a lesser effort the following month and moved yards in that time.
8th
8th (9) (9/1 +55%) Olympic Honour
9/1(+55%)
(9) Olympic Honour 9/1, Fair winner at best but only eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, heavy) last month. Drying ground perhaps in his favour.

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.
