14:05 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6/1 +20%) Brendas Asking	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Brendas Asking 6/1, Showed some promise but pulled up in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Kelso (16.2f, good) 154 days ago. Worth another chance with few miles still on the clock. Off since poor run in May but went close over C&D on handicap debut in March; a possible.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) Zodiac Star	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Zodiac Star 8/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but he got off the mark in 2m Stratford maiden in July. Backed it up with a good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 76 days ago so must enter calculations. Backed up his maiden hurdle win with a good handicap run; forecast rain a worry here.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -80%) Global Esteem	6 6/1(-80%)	(3) Global Esteem 6/1, Scored at Market Rasen (2m) in August and not disgraced when fifth of 9 in Flat handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 40 days ago. Needs considering back in this sphere. Novice winner in August; has more on his plate here but seems versatile ground-wise.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 +47%) Captain Attridge	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(8) Captain Attridge 17/2, Came good on 2m Hereford handicap debut in May and placed next 3 starts. Latest effort at Market Rasen was too bad to be true and cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that. Began this season in good form on good ground; ran as though something was amiss last time.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 -33%) Shelikesthelights	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Shelikesthelights 4/1, Got back on track after 4 months off when second of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Worcester (16f, good) 42 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Up 2 lb but she's expected to be bang there. Ran big race in defeat at Worcester in August and remains on a workable mark.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 +14%) Quaresome	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) Quaresome 6/1, Arrives in decent nick, fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good) 53 days ago. Back down in trip with cheekpieces added and can give a good account. Back in good form on his two starts this season; player if aided by first-time cheekpieces.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -150%) Famoso	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) Famoso 40/1, Consistent sort who posted a solid second of 9 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 138 days ago. Switches to hurdles after a break and can't be discounted. Triple chase winner last season; has fitness to prove on first hurdling start since 2022.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (10/3 +44%) Gentleman Jacques	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(5) Gentleman Jacques 10/3, Had a wind op before only seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Warwick (19f, good) 167 days ago on his final run for Charlie Longsdon. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Made the frame in three C&D maiden/novice hurdles last season; now with new stable.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -300%) Giselles Defence	22 22/1(-300%)	(4) Giselles Defence 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. Below-par fifth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 44 days ago but can't be discounted now going into handicaps over hurdles. Safely held in three Irish maiden hurdles last season but has done well on the Flat since.

14:05 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL ESTEEM opened his account over hurdles with a victory in novice company at Market Rasen. The runner-up has subsequently boosted that form and there looks to be more to come from Fergal O'Brien's inmate. O'Brien also runs Shelikesthelights, who has having her first outing since April when finding only one too good at Worcester latest, while Quaresome reverts to this shorter trip with a shout.

Fergal O'Brien's SHELIKESTHELIGHTS rates just the pick of the weights and is likely to strip fully fit after his Worcester second following an absence so gets the vote. Alan King's Zodiac Star arrives at the top of his game and seems sure to be on the premises, while in-form duo Quaresome and Global Esteem also need factoring into this open handicap.

The opener might go to QUARESOME, who is likely to be well suited by this sharp, right-handed track and is on a workable mark.

14:35 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (6/1 -9%) One Glance	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) One Glance 6/1, Fair form on Flat (stays 1½m), well held on handicap debut last time. Represents a trainer who does well in juvenile hurdles, so no surprise if she takes to it. Fair form when placed in two 1m4f AW novice races this summer; hurdle debut today.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 0%) Scottie's Sister	3 3/1(0%)	(9) Scottie's Sister 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft, 6/1) 30 days ago. Stable is going well and she has a significant edge in terms of experience, so should be involved. Sound effort when second to good yardstick at Newton Abbot last month; likely contender.
3	12 3rd (12) (14/1 +13%) Window Of Time	14 14/1(+13%)	(12) Window Of Time 14/1, Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien. Probably needed the experience when down the field at Newton Abbot on hurdling debut, so may do better. Showed promise on the Flat in Ireland but was well beaten on stable/hurdle debut.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +43%) Masonbrook Meadow	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Masonbrook Meadow 8/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who has hit the frame on each of her three starts over hurdles. Will need to improve if she's to seriously compete, though. Made frame on all three hurdling starts but the form isn't anything to get excited about.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -57%) Holywell	11 11/1(-57%)	(3) Holywell 11/1, Manatee filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler for the yard Balko Saint, stays 2½m. Stable has an excellent record in these events, so expect her to be well schooled. Definite player. Half-sister to useful hurdler Balko Saint; stable's newcomers often run well.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +13%) Clear Storm	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Clear Storm 14/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11f), successful at Nottingham in May, below form on stable debut last time. Others look more persuasive. Won on the Flat for William Haggas in spring; ought to be competitive on hurdle debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -250%) Sheila Tequila	28 28/1(-250%)	(10) Sheila Tequila 28/1, Hasn't offered much in varied events on the Flat but not long with this yard and made a positive start over hurdles when runner-up at Plumpton last month. Likely to be outclassed here, though. Belied 100-1 odds when keeping-on second on recent hurdling debut at Plumpton.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +36%) Little Venice	9 9/1(+36%)	(4) Little Venice 9/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 12f), opening her account at Beverley (9.9f) in June. Low-key hurdling debut (second start for this yard) at Plumpton last time and looks more of a long-term project in this sphere. Low-grade Flat winner in the summer but never dangerous on recent hurdle debut.
9th	1 9th (1) (6/1 +8%) Chevelle	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) Chevelle 6/1, Showed a fair level of ability on the Flat in France and has joined a shrewd outfit ahead of this hurdling debut, so very much one to respect if the market speaks in her favour. Fair form during five-race Flat career in France; makes stable/hurdle debut today.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (80/1 -300%) Nasneen	80 80/1(-300%)	(6) Nasneen 80/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1m), below form last 2 starts. Something to prove switched to hurdling. Placed off lowly mark over 1m on the Flat in July; stamina a possible issue over hurdles.
10th	8 10th (8) (250/1 -279%) Russian Ballerina	250 250/1(-279%)	(8) Russian Ballerina 250/1, Poor maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f), down the field in handicap last time. Sold from Charlie Johnston £2,500 later in July. Hard to recommend switched to hurdling. Showed nothing more than minor promise on her five Flat starts for Charlie Johnston.
11th	11 11th (11) (11/2 -57%) Tricky To Attract	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(11) Tricky To Attract 11/2, Ocovango filly. Dam (h119) 2m/17f hurdle winner, also 1½m winner on Flat. Interesting newcomer for a top outfit. Out of a fairly useful hurdler and represents a top stable; a possible on debut.

14:35 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SCOTTIE'S SISTER took a step forward over hurdles when runner-up at Newton Abbot. The winner was rated 102, so that looks solid form and she can go one better. Sheila Tequila was no match for the winner when second at Plumpton, but that was her first start over timber and she can have a say with improvement forthcoming, while Holywell is a half-sister to a winning hurdler and is a newcomer to note.

HOLYWELL is a relative of a fairly useful hurdler for the stable, which does well in this sphere, particularly with newcomers, so she's fancied to get the better of Scottie's Sister, who has had plenty of experience relative to the others. Tricky To Attract also makes plenty of appeal on paper.

A few of these are of interest but SCOTTIE'S SISTER stuck to her task well when second last month and gets the nod.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (22/1 +45%) Highly Recommended	22 22/1(+45%)	(5) Highly Recommended 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules who was still in need of the experience when a well-held third of 10 in maiden hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Kept on steadily for remote third at Worcester last month; much more needed here.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 -46%) Mostly Sunny	1.75 7/4(-46%)	(1) Mostly Sunny 7/4, A 3-time winner on the Flat who has taken well to hurdling for the Skelton yard, winning a maiden/handicap prior to an excellent fourth in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen. Let down by his jumping upped in trip at Worcester last time but obvious contender if bouncing back in cheekpieces. Disappointed on latest outing but his spring/summer form makes him a leading contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/7 +14%) Rickety Bridge	0.571429 4/7(+14%)	(2) Rickety Bridge 4/7, Fairly useful in bumpers and ran to a similar level when making a successful debut over hurdles in 9-runner maiden at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in March, making most. Big shout under a penalty. Kept on stoutly to make winning hurdle debut at Southwell in March; obvious contender.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 +34%) Billy Butcher	66 66/1(+34%)	(3) Billy Butcher 66/1, Modest at best in bumpers and was well held at Worcester (16f, good) on hurdle bow 105 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Struggled to get competitive when 50-1 for hurdle debut in June; up from 2m today.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -40%) Pethers Run	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Pethers Run 28/1, Pether's Moon gelding. Dam (b78) ran twice in bumpers. Runner-up both starts in points (latest May 27). Close second in two maiden points in the spring but probably has a bit to find here.
6th	4 6th (4) (150/1 -50%) Connolly	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Connolly 150/1, Little promise in bumpers/over hurdles. A well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling starts for new stable this summer.

15:05 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

RICKETY BRIDGE made a winning debut over hurdles when successful at Southwell back in March. The five-year-old has plenty of scope for improvement this season and Paul Nicholls' inmate is taken to make a wining reappearance. Mostly Sunny returns to this level with a chance, though carries a 12lb penalty having landed a double during the summer, while Pethers Run has placed in a couple of point-to-points and could give a good account on his debut under Rules.

RICKETY BRIDGE made fairly hard work of it when making a successful debut over hurdles at Southwell in March, but it was under difficult conditions after all, and his fairly useful bumper form suggests he should be up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature. Mostly Sunny will surely pose the biggest threat if bouncing back from a poor effort at Worcester 12 days ago.

Preference is for RICKETY BRIDGE, who made a good start to his hurdling career in March. Mostly Sunny is the obvious danger.

15:35 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (14/1 0%) Iron D'ex	14 14/1(0%)	(6) Iron D'ex 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler who was fitted with first-time cheekpieces when a good second of 7 in handicap at Hereford (19.7f) in February. Poor efforts on final 2 starts in that sphere last term so he needs to hit ground running now chasing/after 6 months off. 0-10 over hurdles; out of sorts at end of last season and hard to predict on chasing debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +31%) Itso Fury	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Itso Fury 11/4, Useful handicap hurdler. Below that level in 3 chase starts this term, faring no better than previously following 11 weeks off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Warwick (3m) 15 days ago. Mark has eased a little more at least. Well handicapped on hurdling form but yet to convince over fences (three attempts).
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 -56%) The Gypsy Davey	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(4) The Gypsy Davey 7/2, A fair 2m winner over hurdles who made the frame on each of his first 5 starts over fences prior to a lesser effort when fourth of 5 in handicap at Perth (23.8f) 4 weeks ago. Bold, attacking style can see him bounce back returned to this shorter trip. Below form last month but generally consistent in handicap chases this season.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -21%) Just Loose Change	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(3) Just Loose Change 17/2, Dual winner in novice handicap hurdles who ran well on 2 of his 4 starts last season. Unseated first at Hereford (19.7f) when last seen back in May but no surprise to see him make a good fist of things back from 5 months off/on chase debut. 2-13 over hurdles; absent since early mishap in May but still considered on chasing debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 -31%) Iron Heart	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Iron Heart 17/2, Successful over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.5f) in May and Worcester (23f) in July. Respectable third back on the Flat at Nottingham last month but ran poorly back hurdling after 6 weeks off at Perth recently. Will need to leave that effort well behind returned to chasing. Dual hurdle winner this season; has mixed record over fences but enters calculations.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (3/1 -50%) Isabella Bee	3 3/1(-50%)	(1) Isabella Bee 3/1, Built on encouraging chase debut effort when taking 9-runner handicap at Worcester (16.5f) in August. Not in same form when third back at that venue 23 days ago but it remains early days with her in this sphere and she holds claims back up in trip. Off the mark over fences with clearcut Worcester win in August; versatile ground-wise.

15:35 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A return to form for ISABELLA BEE would make her difficult to beat. Fergal O'Brien's charge was a comfortable winner over the extended 2m at Worcester in August before disappointing when a remote third over the same track and trip last month but, should she return to form, the seven-year-old will be a tough nut to crack. The consistent The Gypsy Davey is the main danger, while Itso Fury arrives here on a workable mark.

ISABELLA BEE was a shade disappointing on her most recent start, yet she'd previously looked one to keep on side when successful in good style at Worcester in August. She's worth another chance to get back on the up returned to this longer trip. The Gypsy Davey, for all he's become expensive to follow, looks likely to make a bold bid in front. Just Loose Change is another to note on his chase debut.

Isabella Bee is respected but THE GYPSY DAVEY has been knocking on the door this season and gets the nod.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +25%) La Renommee	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) La Renommee 9/4, Got back to winning ways in 9-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham in April. Had a prep' run over hurdles at Perth recently and makes plenty of appeal back over the larger obstacles. Collected good prize at Cheltenham in April and also runs this track very well.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Sacre Coeur	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Sacre Coeur 5/1, Three-time chase winner last season who shaped better than the result again when sixth at Warwick last time, pulling hard dropped out. This trip is further than ideal for her. Not at best this season but is versatile regarding trip/ground and has become well treated.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +0%) Topofthecotswolds	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Topofthecotswolds 9/2, Well handicapped and, while he failed to revive when only fourth at Worcester returning from 11 months off, he can't be ruled out with his stable in such good form. Safely held last month, after a layoff, and needs that outing to have brought him on.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -100%) Presentandcounting	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Presentandcounting 14/1, Has twice failed to build on his reappearance fourth at Perth in June, only fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Has good strike-rate over fences but below form this summer; rain a big negative.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/3 -67%) Olivers Travels	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(3) Olivers Travels 10/3, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Worcester in August. 13/8, good second of 5 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. On the upgrade recently and should go well again. In great form since cheekpieces were added this summer; forecast rain a worry.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (17/2 -13%) Great D'ange	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(6) Great D'ange 17/2, Back to winning ways at Newton Abbot in August and has remained in form since, third there last month. Finishing effort can never be relied upon, though. Placed twice since shock win in August; up in grade here; seems best on good/good to firm.

16:05 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

OLIVERS TRAVELS found one too good when beaten narrowly over 3m at Perth last month and a repeat of that effort will make him difficult to beat. Peter and Michael Bowen's charge has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that half-length second but that shouldn't prevent another bold showing. La Renommee should improve for her seasonal reappearance when she was fourth at Perth, while Topofthecotswolds heads the remainder.

OLIVERS TRAVELS is thriving and put up another bold showing despite the odd mistake at Perth last time. If he can put in a clearer round, he should have the measure of La Renommee, who is likely to strip fitter for her recent return over hurdles. The remainder have a bit to prove.

Preference is for three-time course winner LA RENOMMEE (nap), who ended last season with an excellent performance at Cheltenham.

16:35 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (5/2 +69%) Of Course You Can	2.5 5/2(+69%)	(8) Of Course You Can 5/2, Modest maiden hurdler who proved a let-down when only eighth of 12 in a weak Worcester maiden (23f, good) on most recent outing in July. Needs to bounce back. Placed over C&D in April but both runs in the summer were disappointing.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +38%) Bethpage	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(4) Bethpage 5/2, Progressive mare who completed the hat-trick in good style at Southwell in June. Had her winning run ended at Worcester the following month but acquitted herself well from 1 lb out of the weights and looks sure to go well again if picking up where she left off. Won her first three handicaps and was creditable third when upped to Class 2 level in July.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 +39%) Mulberry Hill	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(3) Mulberry Hill 10/3, Successful over fences at Kempton last season and ran creditably at Market Rasen on most recent outing. Switches from chase to hurdles and merits consideration having been given a chance by the assessor. Not beaten far in two chases this summer and now reverts to hurdling on a lower mark.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -32%) Vicki Vale	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Vicki Vale 33/1, Could hardly have shown any less for new connections (formerly trained by Dan Skelton) when pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good) 49 days ago. Back over hurdles now with plenty to prove. Pulled up after jumping poorly in a chase on stable debut; back hurdling with bit to prove.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -170%) Sunday Soldier	9 9/1(-170%)	(1) Sunday Soldier 9/1, Improved in leaps and bounds last season, completing a 5-timer at Musselburgh in April. Found run of good form coming to a halt at Perth on final outing but shouldn't be judged too hardly on that and could have further improvement in her. Won five in a row last season and further progress is possible this term.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 +15%) Jaminska	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Jaminska 11/2, Fair winning hurdler who reappears on a fair-looking mark and has gone well fresh before. Interesting with step up in trip likely to suit. Off since April but is very well treated on form shown towards the end of last year.
7th	7 7th (7) (18/1 -29%) River Robe	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) River Robe 18/1, Winner at Market Rasen in June for Dan Skelton. Left that yard cheaply and never much of a threat behind Hard As Nails at Stratford on Monday. Stamina to prove. Safely held behind Hard As Nails when fourth on stable debut at Stratford on Monday.

16:35 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

BETHPAGE failed in her attempt to complete the four-timer when only making the frame at Worcester in July, but this looks a much easier assignment. Emma Lavelle's six-year-old is only 3lb higher and she can continue her rise in the handicap ranks. Sunday Soldier also had her winning sequence halted on her most recent outing, as she was well held in fourth at Perth in April, but she isn't one to write off. Mulberry Hill rates best of the rest.

JAMINSKA reappears on a fair-looking mark judged on the pick of her form and, with the step up in trip promising to suit, she's put forward as the answer. Sunday Soldier improved in leaps and bounds last season and shouldn't be judged too harshly on her final run at Perth given that came just 19 days on from a big effort in the mud, while Bethpage is another progressive mare who merits plenty of respect.

The pick is JAMINSKA, who was not quite at her best when we last saw her in the spring but resumes on a tempting mark.

1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +46%) Court In A Storm	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(3) Court In A Storm 15/8, £25,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Bred to stay well and he offered plenty to work on when second of 13 in bumper (10/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on debut back in April. Tongue strap fitted for return and he's of interest here. Second of 13 on his debut at Huntingdon in April; tongue tied now; should go close.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +8%) Fort St Angelo	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Fort St Angelo 11/2, €8,000 3-y-o, £24,000 5-y-o, Laverock gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Blaze A Trail and modest 2½m chase winner Blazing Court. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 6). Yard no stranger to success in this sphere. Won maiden Irish point in May; sold for £24,000 since; yard has healthy bumper strike-rate.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -40%) Lady Kluck	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Lady Kluck 7/2, £75,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Closely related to modest 2¾m hurdle winner Famous Function, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Shirocco's Dream. Successful sole start in Irish points (May 12) and she appeals as a likely type to make her mark in this sphere. Won maiden Irish point in May and subsequently sold for £75,000 to join top yard..
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 -11%) I'd Go Maniac	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) I'd Go Maniac 5/2, Left his debut effort on all-weather last autumn well behind when running out a comfortable winner of a 9-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f) in July.

17:05 Ludlow NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

I'D GO MANIAC made a strong impression when running out a five-and-a-half-length victor on his second bumper start at Market Rasen in July. Alan King's five-year-old now has a 7lb penalty to carry but, considering the manner of that success, he might be up to the task. Point-to-point winner Lady Kluck changed hands for 75,000 pounds and it would be no surprise to see her go well, while any market support for Batsman with Nico de Boinville booked should be noted.

Those with previous form set a fair standard and it could pay to side with point-scorer LADY KLUCK. She appeals as a likely type on paper for a yard boasting a healthy strike rate with their runners in this sphere so far this term and could be the way to go. Court In A Storm and Market Rasen winner I'd Go Maniac are others on the shortlist.

The 7lb penalty that I'D GO MANIAC incurs for winning at Market Rasen in July may not halt his progress. Lady Kluck is next best.
