1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +45%) Hardy Fella		3 3/1(+45%)																															(2) Hardy Fella 3/1, Fairly useful bumper winner for Chris Gordon who has found just one too strong on each of his 3 completed starts over hurdles, latest on handicap debut at this track just over 3 weeks ago. Every chance he can go one better here. Second over 2m5f here on recent handicap debut; player if suited by today's longer trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -100%) Ballycamus		4.5 4.5/1(-100%)																															(4) Ballycamus 4.5/1, Scored on handicap debut at Hereford last spring and doubled his tally at Newbury (24.2f, soft) last month, seeming to relish the emphasis on stamina back up in trip. Up 6 lb for that success but every chance he will be in the mix again. Took form to new level when winning at Newbury last month and remains unexposed over 3m.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +0%) Rockinastorm		6 6/1(+0%)																															(8) Rockinastorm 6/1, Has been rather underwhelming in his 2 handicaps to date, fifth of 13 (9/2) at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 34 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle. Unable to justify prominence in betting when safely held in both handicaps; headgear on.
4	1 4th (1) (2.75/1 +45%) Egbert		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(1) Egbert 2.75/1, Strong at the finish when landing a maiden hurdle at Ludlow over 21.3f in January. Low-key handicap debut at Sandown 10 weeks ago but looks well worth a crack at 3m. Didn't fire on handicap debut but won 2m5f course maiden two starts ago; up in trip today.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 +0%) Another Mystery		25 25/1(+0%)																															(10) Another Mystery 25/1, Point winner who offered little over fences but did go with a bit more purpose back over hurdles in a first-time visor at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) 3 months ago. Others look stronger, however. Pulled up in last two chases then soundly beaten on return to hurdling.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +44%) Your Band		9 9/1(+44%)																															(9) Your Band 9/1, Lightly raced since twice successful at Uttoxeter in 2019 and has offered little on both starts in recent months after 18 months off. Not beaten far here last month and has become very well handicapped; best on good ground.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -186%) Oscars Fame		40 40/1(-186%)																															(6) Oscars Fame 40/1, Off the mark second time up over hurdles in maiden at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to firm) back in July 2021 but not seen since. This outing likely to prove informative as to what ability remains now handicapping. Clear winner of Newton Abbot maiden in July 2021 but not seen again since.
5	5 |PU| (5) (7/1 -75%) What About Time		7 7/1(-75%)																															(5) What About Time 7/1, Point winner who made a successful hurdles debut at Uttoxeter in November 2020. Has only had the 4 starts since, but showed he retains ability when runner-up in handicap at Huntingdon (25f) on Boxing Day. Task is now to build on that effort. Battled on well for second behind very progressive rival on Boxing Day; each-way claims.
3	3 |PU| (3) (40/1 -21%) Guiri		40 40/1(-21%)																															(3) Guiri 40/1, Placed over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last year but showed nothing in 3 starts for new connections so can only be watched. Well beaten on all three stable starts but might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces.
7	7 |PU| (7) (150/1 -127%) Jimmy Jimmy		150 150/1(-127%)																															(7) Jimmy Jimmy 150/1, Fairly useful bumper/hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott in 2020 but has struggled badly in recent times, making no impression on both outings for his new yard. Can only be watched. Struggled on first two starts for current stable and has a lot to prove.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS and 5/1 (1) EGBERT seem to have the best chance of doing well. 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS has recently won a race and has shown potential over a longer distance, while 5/1 (1) EGBERT has won a maiden hurdle and seems ready for a longer distance as well. 5.5/1 (2) HARDY FELLA and 4/1 (5) WHAT ABOUT TIME also have a chance, but may not be as strong as 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS and 5/1 (1) EGBERT. The other horses in the summary seem to have less potential or have not performed well in recent races.

BALLYCAMUS proved a different proposition when winning on the step up in trip over 3m at Newbury last month and Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding may shrug off a 6lb rise in the ratings. Hardy Fella found only a subsequent winner too strong on his handicap debut over 2m5f here earlier in the month and the six-year-old could improve for this stiffer test. Egbert won at this venue on his penultimate start in January and is another who could relish this longer distance.

A few in with a shout but the vote goes to HARDY FELLA, who was unable to live with Norley (easy winner again over fences since) on handicap debut at this track just over 3 weeks ago but looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles. Ballycamus won well at Newbury last month so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Egbert, who may well relish this step up to 3m.

The most persuasive option is BALLYCAMUS (nap), who looked in really good nick when scoring at Newbury last month.

1	9 1st (9) (22/1 -38%) Marettimo		22 22/1(-38%)																															(9) Marettimo 22/1, Bagged a trio of handicap chases at up to 3m last season, the latest off this mark at Ffos Las 12 months ago. However, nowhere near that level in a handful of appearances this time round. Triple chase winner who is on a dangerous mark but he needs to turn things around.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +30%) The Wrekin		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(5) The Wrekin 3.5/1, Three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021 who largely performed well in handicaps subsequently in 2021. Missed all of last year but stepped up on belated return when third at Ludlow and entitled to come on again. Point and triple hurdle winner; still lightly raced and looks interesting on chase debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (3/1 +33%) Hipop Des Ongrais		3 3/1(+33%)																															(10) Hipop Des Ongrais 3/1, Left chase bow well behind when winning at Fontwell in December. Disappointed 2 months later at Chepstow but quickly back on track when third at Taunton, left with too much to do. Remains of interest. Hurdle/chase winner who was an eyecatching third when upped to 2m7f at Taunton; dangerous.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Prevaricate		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) Prevaricate 12/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott. Looks the part for chasing but well held all 3 starts for this yard this term, albeit not disgraced in form terms last twice. Still early days over fences but he needs to raise his game on this step up to 3m.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Seigneur Des As		4.5 4.5/1(+44%)																															(2) Seigneur Des As 4.5/1, Off the mark in a 6-runner event over C&D in February and was a good second back over hurdles at Doncaster next time. However, needs to shrug off a below-par run at Newbury. Well held at Newbury latest but he could kick on again on this drop back in grade.
6th	1 6th (1) (8.5/1 -55%) Rocky Lake		8.5 8.5/1(-55%)																															(1) Rocky Lake 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winning hurdler who shaped with plenty of promise when staying on for fourth on chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) in October. Clearly wasn't 100% next time and might have needed the run at Huntingdon. Up in trip. Lightly raced 7yo who still has potential as a chaser; not ruled out on this step up to 3m.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -200%) Creative Control		33 33/1(-200%)																															(4) Creative Control 33/1, Dual hurdles winner last season and stepped up on previous chase form when scoring in ready fashion at Musselburgh (23.8f) in December. Runner-up next 3 subsequent starts but turned in a rare poor effort at Carlisle. In good form during the winter but he was pulled up last month and needs to bounce back.
11	11 |U| (11) (12/1 -9%) Kabrit		12 12/1(-9%)																															(11) Kabrit 12/1, Just respectable efforts at best early part of this season but is now 3 lb below last winning mark. Off 7 months. Has form when fresh and he has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.
8	8 |PU| (8) (8/1 -60%) Smoking Pigeon		8 8/1(-60%)																															(8) Smoking Pigeon 8/1, Winning pointer who stepped up on chase bow/return when off the mark at Huntingdon. Probably paid the price for an attacking ride at Kempton and remains low mileage for his age. Won at Huntingdon in January but was well held at Kempton last time; risks attached.
6	6 |PU| (6) (10/1 +50%) Great D'Ange		10 10/1(+50%)																															(6) Great D'Ange 10/1, Back to winning ways when taking 8-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft). However, he folded pretty tamely at Doncaster and Wincanton since. Dual chase winner but he's been well below form last twice and needs to get back near best.

15:15 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

5/1 (5) THE WREKIN looks interesting on chase debut as a three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021 who largely performed well in handicaps subsequently in 2021.

SEIGNEUR DES AS' only career win came over C&D in February and a return to this track is a major plus. The son of It's Gino has performed well over hurdles since at Doncaster and conditions are in his favour as he looks to master the likes of chasing debutant The Wrekin and Hipop Des Ongrais, who bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Taunton.

HIPOP DES ONGRAIS quickly got back on track when third at Taunton and looks capable of defying this sort of mark. Kabrit is potentially well treated if ready to go after 7 months off so is shortlisted, while it's still early days for Rocky Lake, who is back down in class.

The vote goes to Robert Walford's unexposed chaser HIPOP DES ONGRAIS, who was an eyecatching third when uppped to 2m7f last time.

1	3 1st (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Regal Renaissance		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(3) Regal Renaissance 7.5/1, Looks awkward and opened her account with a fortunate success in C&D mares' handicap before Christmas, off bridle long way out and held in second when left in front last. Well held back here following a break/wind op this month, though, and others look stronger. Had luck on her side when winning over C&D on handicap debut; well beaten here since.
2	11 2nd (11) (20/1 +9%) Eaton Lady		20 20/1(+9%)																															(11) Eaton Lady 20/1, Remains a maiden following 17 attempts and whilst she ran better than for a while when third at Leicester (15.5f, good to soft) in November, she'll need to step up again on that if she's to figure here. 0-16 over hurdles; didn't run badly at Leicester in November but not seen again since.
3	9 3rd (9) (5.5/1 -57%) Whenthepennydrops		5.5 5.5/1(-57%)																															(9) Whenthepennydrops 5.5/1, Struggled in first 2 handicaps but was in the process of leaving those efforts behind when, fitted with first-time cheekpieces, falling 2 out at Southwell (20.4f, soft) a fortnight ago. Surely would've been placed (at the very least) had she remains on all fours and leading claims off the same mark. Very much in contention before penultimate-flight fall last time; runs off same mark today.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 -35%) Jikala		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(7) Jikala 4.5/1, French import who made it third time lucky for present connections when making all in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f, good to soft) last month. There wasn't much depth to that race but she at least appears to be going the right way and should be in the mix if coping with this step up in trip. Just held on for 2m maiden win last month; up in trip today; should have more to offer.
5th	13 5th (13) (22/1 +12%) Tara Haze		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Tara Haze 22/1, Looks very limited judged on what she's shown in 2 bumpers and 3 starts over hurdles. Yet to show any significant promise; makes handicap debut from a lowly mark.
6th	12 6th (12) (18/1 +40%) Damask		18 18/1(+40%)																															(12) Damask 18/1, Has looked pretty limited in 3 starts in juvenile/maiden company, safely held when fifth behind Jikala at Hereford last time. Another who needs to take a step forward now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Showed minor promise on last two qualifying runs; up in trip for handicap debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Mrs Kinsella		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(8) Mrs Kinsella 4.5/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in 2 starts for Billy Aprahamian. Respectable third starting out for this yard back from a 3-month break at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) and place possibilities here if able to build on that. 0-6 over hurdles but was placed behind Kalpaga on recent stable debut; a possible.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -50%) Presenting Belle		33 33/1(-50%)																															(2) Presenting Belle 33/1, Had wind op before finishing second in a 7-runner Huntingdon maiden in February but pulled up on all 3 additional starts under Rules, including on subsequent handicap bow at Southwell. Now tried in a tongue strap. Second in Huntingdon maiden in February but pulled up on subsequent handicap debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (3.5/1 +65%) Noplacetobe		3.5 3.5/1(+65%)																															(5) Noplacetobe 3.5/1, Irish point winner who appeared to be getting her act together in this sphere when third of 11 in a heavy-ground Ffos Las handicap (2¾m) on penultimate start. Step in the wrong direction at the same course next time, though, and now has a bit to prove. Placed on handicap debut; reportedly had respiratory issue when below form last time.
4	4 |U| (4) (9/1 +25%) Masked Dance		9 9/1(+25%)																															(4) Masked Dance 9/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers and showed ability on hurdles bow when third of 11 in mares' maiden at Southwell in November. However, has failed to build on that since and needs to raise her game now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Placed on hurdling debut but her next two runs were underwhelming; needs to up her game.
10th	6 10th (6) (66/1 -65%) Talkingthetalk		66 66/1(-65%)																															(6) Talkingthetalk 66/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when third in a Wexford maiden on final run for Leonard Whitmore last summer but pulled up on 3 of her 4 starts (well beaten on sole completion) since joining present yard. Cheekpieces applied. Placed over hurdles in Ireland but has struggled in Britain; cheekpieces now added.
11th	10 11th (10) (22/1 -38%) Passing Kate		22 22/1(-38%)																															(10) Passing Kate 22/1, Just glimmers of ability so far and while improvement is possible now pitched into a handicap, it will certainly be needed. Ran well to a point in all three qualifying runs and ought to last a bit longer today.

15:50 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

5/1 (1) KALPAGA and 3.33/1 (7) JIKALA appear to be the strongest contenders, with both coming off recent wins and showing potential for further improvement. 3.5/1 (9) WHENTHEPENNYDROPS also has a chance if she can avoid falling, while 6/1 (8) MRS KINSELLA and 10/1 (5) NOPLACETOBE could be in the mix for a place. The rest of the field are less likely to feature.

JIKALA looks just the type to improve for going up in trip following a determined success at Hereford last time out, while a mark of 98 looks manageable on her handicap debut. Mrs Kinsella made up some decent late ground to finish third at Hereford last time out and she must enter calculations, along with C&D winner Regal Renaissance. Kalpaga would have a big chance if lining up here following her Ffos Las second on Tuesday.

The most appealing of these is WHENTHEPENNYDROPS, who held every chance when falling at the second-last in a Southwell handicap 2 weeks ago and she will surely go close off the same mark here, provided her confidence hasn't been dented by that tumble. Jikala's stamina has to be taken on trust but she appears to be on the up judged on her Hereford success and, armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance now handicapping, a bold show could be on the way. Mrs Kinsella is best of the rest.

Running a big race in first-time cheekpieces before her fall at Southwell a fortnight ago, WHENTHEPENNYDROPS might be the answer here.

1	11 1st (11) (3/1 +60%) Maid Of The Night		3 3/1(+60%)																															(11) Maid Of The Night 3/1, Point winner who justified strong support making a winning handicap debut at Hereford (21.5f, good) in February. Weakening when falling 3 out over 3m at Ffos Las since but claims if bouncing straight back to the Hereford form. Beaten when falling last time but won on handicap debut in February and may improve again.
2	1 2nd (1) (7.5/1 -114%) Our Laura B		7.5 7.5/1(-114%)																															(1) Our Laura B 7.5/1, Reached the frame in a couple of novice hurdles at Sedgefield before making successful switch to handicap company at Newcastle (2½m) 4 weeks ago. Did that quite readily so respected despite a 6 lb rise. Won in good style on last month's handicap debut and a 6lb rise could be lenient.
3	9 3rd (9) (8/1 +6%) Never No Trouble		8 8/1(+6%)																															(9) Never No Trouble 8/1, Gained reward for her consistency when winning 8-runner maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in February. Let down by jumping when below-form seventh back in handicap company at Kelso since. Not seen to best effect last time but is generally very consistent; tries a new trip today.
4	13 4th (13) (22/1 +12%) Happy Index		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Happy Index 22/1, Is bred to be useful jumper but has offered little so far. Handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance but still hard to make a case for. Displayed first glimmer of promise when midfield in 2m maiden last month; handicap debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -32%) Chinook		33 33/1(-32%)																															(4) Chinook 33/1, Still looking for first success and below form on her stable debut at Exeter in October. Off since. Placed in Ireland last September; not seen since low-ley stable debut in October.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -14%) Symbolic Spirit		25 25/1(-14%)																															(2) Symbolic Spirit 25/1, Runner-up on Southwell handicap hurdle debut in November but has disappointed on both runs since. A short break needs to have had a reviving effect. Second on handicap debut in November but well held twice since.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +0%) Div Ine Tara		12 12/1(+0%)																															(12) Div Ine Tara 12/1, Made the frame on a couple of occasions in bumpers. Yet to better poor form over hurdles, but it's possible she needed the run after 6 months off when fading into a well-held fourth on 20.5f Southwell handicap debut last month. Still early days for a good stable. Made underwhelming handicap debut in March, but that was her first run for six months.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 +14%) Atjima		6 6/1(+14%)																															(3) Atjima 6/1, Bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in 2½m Ffos Las handicap last month. Stamina possibly stretched by 3m at Taunton since and treated as if still in form. Caused 20-1 surprise at Ffos Las last month but safely held a fortnight later.
9th	7 9th (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Night Fever		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(7) Night Fever 6.5/1, One-time fairly useful performer on the level when trained in Germany but just modest form so far over hurdles, finishing fourth in a couple of handicaps at Worcester in the autumn. Been off for 6 months. Didn't run badly in her first two handicap hurdles but has fitness to prove after a layoff.
10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 -14%) Iconic Rock		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Iconic Rock 16/1, No impact in 2 handicap hurdles last month and has something to prove at present. Soundly beaten on all three starts for new stable this year, the last twice in handicaps.
11th	10 11th (10) (18/1 -29%) My Virtue		18 18/1(-29%)																															(10) My Virtue 18/1, Off the mark in points at the third attempt. First sign of encouragement under Rules when fourth in a 2m novice hurdle here last month and could take another step forward back up in trip on handicap debut. Displayed improvement when fourth in 2m novice here last month; more needed again today.
12th	8 12th (8) (20/1 -11%) Dana's Gem		20 20/1(-11%)																															(8) Dana's Gem 20/1, Hinted at ability when well-beaten third of 13 in mares novice hurdle at Wincanton on Boxing Day. No show in her 2 outings since but more chance now switching to handicap company. One to monitor in the betting. Twice tailed off since remote third on hurdle debut but remains very unexposed.
13th	5 13th (5) (8.5/1 -70%) Ol'river Shine		8.5 8.5/1(-70%)																															(5) Ol'river Shine 8.5/1, Third in her sole point and offered something to work on sent hurdling this year, reaching the frame in maiden events around this trip at Wetherby and Plumpton. Possible improver now making a quick switch to handicaps. Placed on Irish point debut last year and made quite promising start to hurdling career.

16:23 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, Laura B and 7/1 (3) ATJIMA are the most likely to perform well as they both won their last handicap races and have only received a minor increase in weight. Maid of the Night could also be a strong contender, having won on her handicap debut and may bounce back to that form. 12/1 (12) DIV INE TARA, 18/1 (8) DANA'S GEM and 14/1 (10) MY VIRTUE are all relatively unexposed and could be worth monitoring, while 22/1 (2) SYMBOLIC SPIRIT and 9/1 (7) NIGHT FEVER have shown potential in the past but have been inconsistent in recent runs. 5/1 (5) OL'RIVER SHINE may also improve now switching to handicap company, while the remaining horses have shown little to suggest they will be competitive in this race.

ATJIMA disappointed over further at Taunton last time out, but she is much better judged on the form she showed when scoring at Ffos Las prior to that. She remains on a workable mark and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Easy Newcastle winner Our Laura B, as well as Ol'river Shine, look to be her chief threats. Dana's Gem and Iconic Rock are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

OUR LAURA B had something in hand when making a successful start to her handicap career at Newcastle last month and may be able to defy a rise in the weights with the Ben Haslam team continuing in good form. Ol'river Shine and My Virtue both bring unexposed potential to their handicap debuts, while Div Ine Tara might have needed the outing after a break when fading into fourth on her handicap debut and could last longer this time.

Topweight OUR LAURA B travelled strongly and seemed to have quite a bit left in the tank when winning on her handicap debut.

1	1 1st (1) (0.62/1 +7%) Secret Investor		0.62 0.62/1(+7%)																															(1) Secret Investor 0.62/1, Just useful nowadays but had little trouble landing the odds in 5-runner hunter chases at Bangor and Kelso. Fell at Cheltenham last time but should get back to winning ways if none the worse. Fell early at Cheltenham but he's very much the one to beat at this lower level..
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +47%) Solomon Grey		4 4/1(+47%)																															(2) Solomon Grey 4/1, Fairly useful chaser nowadays. C&D winner. 8/1, sixth of 8 in hunter chase at Taunton (23f, good) 64 days ago. Can't be discounted. Odds-on when winning a weaker renewal 12 months ago; below par the last twice..
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Crosspark		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(5) Crosspark 4.5/1, Veteran who took a firm step back in the right direction when third on hunter debut at Newbury last time and should make his presence felt if able to build on that. Repeat of his form on hunter chase debut at Newbury is unlikely to get him home in front..
4	6 4th (6) (66/1 -32%) Stay Out Of Court		66 66/1(-32%)																															(6) Stay Out Of Court 66/1, Multiple point winner but his form under Rules is poor and he makes little appeal. Tailed off in a Class 5 handicap chase at Fakenham in January latest..
4	4 |PU| (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Arthur's Sixpence		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(4) Arthur's Sixpence 7.5/1, Disappointing effort in a hunter Southwell in March but quickly back on track when landing a point since, so worthy of consideration. Disappointed in his final hunter chase but better than that and he won his latest point..
7	7 |PU| (7) (125/1 -25%) The Dawn Man		125 125/1(-25%)																															(7) The Dawn Man 125/1, Rules form is uninspiring and he failed to beat a rival in a point last time. Others make more appeal. Low-grade handicap winner in 2020; should be outclassed by the best of these..

16:53 Ludlow Hunter Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.67/1 (1) SECRET INVESTOR seems to be the strongest contender for the upcoming race. The summary mentions that he fell early at Cheltenham but is still considered the one to beat at a lower level. He has also had little trouble winning hunter chases at Bangor and Kelso. Although he fell at Cheltenham, he is expected to get back to winning ways if he is not injured.

SECRET INVESTOR didn't make it past the first fence in this sphere at the Cheltenham Festival after bolting up in this company at Kelso on his previous start. The 11-year-old looks to have been found a very straightforward assignment by his trainer Paul Nicholls and is difficult to oppose. Crosspark is his main danger, as he performed with credit when a close-up third at Newbury last time. Solomon Grey rates best of the rest.

SECRET INVESTOR is the class act in this field and should be hard to beat if his fall at Cheltenham hasn't left a mark. Arthur's Sixpence and Crosspark look the main dangers.

This looks good for SECRET INVESTOR who can bounce straight back from his early departure at the Cheltenham Festival.

8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -39%) Ballytechno		25 25/1(-39%)																															(2) Ballytechno 25/1, €40,000 3-y-o, £70,000 4-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (17f-2¾m winner) Princesse Kap. Third sole start in Irish points (Feb 5).

17:28 Ludlow NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well from this summary as they all have different levels of experience and potential. However, 4.5/1 (5) DIAMOND DEALER seems to have a strong pedigree and a successful sole start in points, making him worth a chance to make a winning start under Rules. 8/1 (9) STAY IF U WANT TO also has a promising pedigree and makes plenty of appeal on paper. 9/1 (7) NELSON CRIQ is an interesting newcomer with a useful family history. Ultimately, it will depend on the individual horse's performance on the day of the race.

Not a great deal of form to go on in this contest and, for that reason, newcomer NELSON CRIQ just shades the vote for the Alan King yard. The four-year-old's full-sister Real Milan was a bumper winner, and he could be ready to strike at the first time of asking. Norman Fletcher disappointed at Newbury latest but, if bouncing back, could play a hand in the finish. Any market support for Ballytechno would also be interesting.

DIAMOND DEALER fetched six figures after landing his only start in points and he may well be up to maintaining his unbeaten record on Rules debut. Newcomer Stay If U Want To makes plenty of appeal and Pearl Island warrants consideration with improvement on the cards.

The vote goes to BOUNDARY JACK who should improve on his Market Rasen effort. Stay If U Want To is second choice.

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.
