14:00 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/5 +20%) No Questions Asked	0.2 1/5(+20%)	(1) No Questions Asked 1/5, Point winner who showed useful form in bumpers last term and, save for his odds-on reverse at Doncaster in November, he's otherwise done nothing wrong in 4 starts in this sphere. Fine second in a listed novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) last time and likely to prove very hard to beat here. Second in a Listed race last time; sets the standard here and by a wide margin.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/2 +13%) John Barbour	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) John Barbour 7/2, Winning start for new yard when, fitted with a first-time tongue strap, he accounted for 7 rivals in a Uttoxeter bumper in November. Too free when fourth of 12 at Huntingdon next time but, if settling better this time and jumping fluently, he could be a live each-way player on hurdles debut. Bumper winner second time out and brings plenty of potential into his hurdling career.
3	6 3rd (6) (17/2 +29%) Tracking Treasure	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Tracking Treasure 17/2, Unplaced both starts in points and failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Fairyhouse in November. Bettered hurdles/yard debut form when third in a 7-runner C&D novice a fortnight ago but the value of that form is questionable and another minor role is the most likely scenario. Improved form when an 8l third over C&D two weeks ago but again probably placed at best.
4	4 4th (4) (125/1 -89%) Following Chapter	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Following Chapter 125/1, No real impact in a couple of spins at Chepstow so far and this 5-y-o is probably more one for handicaps further down the line. Beaten a long way in his first two races over hurdles and already looks one for handicaps.
5th	8 5th (8) (50/1 -25%) Amberelli	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Amberelli 50/1, Showed more spark than on her hurdles debut when fourth in a 14-runner Southwell maiden (20.4f, good) in June, shaping very much like a stayer. Dropping in trip here won't do her any favours but this is presumably a means to an end with handicaps in mind. Beaten 23l and 32l in 2m/2m4f maidens at Southwell, the latest last June.
6th	10 6th (10) (200/1 +0%) The Dancing Lass	200 200/1(+0%)	(10) The Dancing Lass 200/1, No show in a bumper nor 2 starts over hurdles to date. Tailed off in a bumper and in two runs over hurdles, latterly going off at 400-1.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 -12%) Welcheston Warrier	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Welcheston Warrier 28/1, Offered little sole start in bumpers and only minor promise when sixth of 11 in novice at Worcester on hurdles bow in October. Subsequently brought down at the final flight in a Chepstow novice recently (was well held at this time of his departure) and it's best to look elsewhere. Has shown a bit of ability but he was on the retreat when brought down at Chepstow.
8th	3 8th (3) (100/1 -52%) Falcao	100 100/1(-52%)	(3) Falcao 100/1, Equipped with a tongue strap (discarded here), he trailed in a well-beaten last of 7 on debut in a Ffos Las bumper last month. Will need to leave that form well behind if he's to make an impact now switched to hurdles. Faded late on when last to finish in a soft-ground bumper at Ffos Las.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -25%) Captain Trigger	100 100/1(-25%)	(2) Captain Trigger 100/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Captain Cattistock and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner King's Threshold. However, he hardly shaped like a ready-made future winner himself on debut in a Bangor novice hurdle. Well related but went off 80-1 at Bangor and trailed home a remote last.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (80/1 -100%) Kershaw County	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Kershaw County 80/1, First form of a bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Clarendon Street out of useful chaser (2¼m-2½m winner, stayed 2¾m) Carrigeen Kalmia. However, she shaped with little encouragement on debut in a Uttoxeter bumper. 50-1 when down the field in a Uttoxeter bumper on New Year's Day.

14:00 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

NO QUESTIONS ASKED, who currently holds a couple of speculative Grade 1 entries for the Cheltenham Festival, is the obvious one to side with here. Ben Pauling's seven-year-old was a close second in a Listed race at Huntingdon 13 days ago and sets a lofty standard for the rest to aim at. John Barbour and Tracking Treasure, who both get 12lb from the selection, can fight it out for the forecast slot.

A straightforward task awaits NO QUESTIONS ASKED, who split a couple of useful-looking novices when runner-up in listed company recently and a reproduction of that effort would be more than sufficient. Bumper winner John Barbour could be the one to follow him home if his jumping passes the test, while Tracking Treasure is taken to again finish third, having done so over this C&D two weeks ago.

Ben Pauling's NO QUESTIONS ASKED confirmed himself smart when holding his own in a Listed race last time. This is far easier.

14:30 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 -48%) Bold Recruit	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(1) Bold Recruit 10/3, Placed both completed starts in points and has finished in the money on each of his 4 starts under Rules, too. Shaped as though this stiffer test would be right up his street when third upped to 20.5f at Plumpton last time and a bold show could be on the way. Stayed 3m in points and he's run well in all his races under rules; every chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +27%) Doctor Midas	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(2) Doctor Midas 11/2, Only fifth of 11 when sent off favourite in Haydock bumper last spring and safely held on return/hurdles bow at Warwick (21f, soft). That said, he is in very good hands and it could be that this stiffer test will be just what he needs. In top hands but he's made a quiet start to his career and best watched for now.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Swift Jet	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Swift Jet 12/1, Beaten a long way on Rules debut in an Exeter bumper last February but there was promise in his reappearance/hurdles debut fifth at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft), particularly with staying handicaps in mind. Lightly raced 7yo who was returning from a year out when beaten 9l at Doncaster (2m3f).
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -25%) Loch Frisa	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Loch Frisa 20/1, Just minor promise in a Southwell bumper/Plumpton maiden hurdle to date and handicaps will presumably be on the agenda before long. In trouble a long way out when a market drifter on his hurdling debut (2m4f).
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -22%) Keel Strand	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Keel Strand 11/2, Runner-up sole start in Irish points last spring and stepped up on his low-key Rules debut effort in a bumper when fourth of 13 starting out over hurdles at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) in December. Good deal more needed here but this step up in trip is well worth exploring. Has to improve on what he's shown but that's feasible now stepped up in distance.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (6/5 +40%) Pike Road	1.2 6/5(+40%)	(5) Pike Road 6/5, Runner-up in a point and in maiden hurdles at Worcester and Uttoxeter before finishing fifth of 8 switched to handicap company at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) last time. Solid claims back in a maiden and reunited with Sean Bowen. Not disgraced on handicap debut last time and should hold every chance back in a maiden.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (125/1 -150%) Queensland Boy	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Queensland Boy 125/1, Won twice on the Flat and he's certainly bred for this game but it's been a struggle since he registered his latest win on the level at Nottingham last spring. The last of his two Flat wins (from 20 starts) was at 2m but fairly modest in that scene.

14:30 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

In the money on each of his four previous starts under Rules, BOLD RECRUIT has dropped enough hints to suggest that this step up in trip could be a rewarding move and these conditions could bring best out of Billy Aprahamian's charge. The less exposed Keel Strand is feared most upped in trip on just his third start for Paul Nicholls. Pike Road is respected despite his limitations being highlighted when only fifth at Catterick last month.

It's probably fair to say PIKE ROAD didn't improve on his maiden hurdle form when fifth on handicap debut at Catterick but that was still a decent effort and he shades preference ahead of Bold Recruit. Big-yard representatives Doctor Midas and Keel Strand may both step up on what they've shown so far now faced with a stiffer test, while Swift Jet could also have a part to play.

The Paul Nicholls-trained KEEL STRAND looks sure to take a step forward now granted a stiffer stamina test.

15:05 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -129%) Sacre Coeur	4 4/1(-129%)	(1) Sacre Coeur 4/1, Three-time handicap chase winner last season and back to best when making all at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in November. Gave it a good shot when second in a 4-runner handicap dropped to 2m at Uttoxeter last time and she's fully effective over this intermediate trip. Big player. Front-runner who ran well dropped back to 2m last time; stays 3m; chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +10%) Regal Renaissance	3 3/1(+10%)	(5) Regal Renaissance 3/1, Reliable mare who resumed winning ways in a 7-runner handicap chase at Warwick in November and followed that with a creditable fourth in the Cheltenham contest won by Game On For Glory. Underperformed at Fakenham last time but her consistent profile offers hope that she will bounce back quickly. In good form until Fakenham last time and that track doesn't suit all horses.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +10%) Ostrava Du Berlais	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(6) Ostrava Du Berlais 9/2, Positive start over fences, finishing second on debut in this sphere at Warwick in November before scoring here (2m) and at Taunton (2¼m) in December. However, she appears to have gone off the boil since and remains 6 lb above her latest winning mark. Difficult to know what to expect after last two runs but this mark shouldn't be beyond her.
4	8 4th (8) (50/1 -25%) River Robe	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) River Robe 50/1, Winning start for Dan Skelton in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last summer but she's 0-9 for present yard and hasn't fired in 4 starts over fences to date. 19 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Others arrive here in better form and she's a long way out of the weights.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +50%) Current Mood	3 3/1(+50%)	(7) Current Mood 3/1, Better for return when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over fences at this course (23.8f, good to soft) in October. Creditable efforts in defeat back here the last twice and she will be a threat if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more. Looks handicapped about right but not without a chance in new cheekpieces.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 +18%) Happy D'ex	33 33/1(+18%)	(3) Happy D'ex 33/1, Bumper and dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Wasn't disgraced on debut for new yard at Cheltenham but that was back in December 2023 and subsequent absence is cause for concern. Ex-Irish mare; only 6th on yard debut at Cheltenham and will need more here.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 -13%) Game On For Glory	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Game On For Glory 9/2, Opened chase account over C&D last term and left reappearance behind in reapplied headgear when winning a 13-runner handicap at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) in December. However, a degree of caution is needed following an errant display at Windsor last time (refused and unseated rider). Ability respected but appeared to try and run out when unseating mid-race at Windsor.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 +20%) Herewegohoney	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Herewegohoney 16/1, Doubled her tally over fences when winning a Market Rasen handicap in July 2023. However, she hasn't gone on from that effort since and was pulled up on her latest start on Boxing Day. Won easily off this mark at Market Rasen in July 2023 but it's been a rocky road since.

15:05 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SACRE COEUR boasts an obvious chance and could be up to giving weight and a beating to her rivals here. Ostrava Du Berlais and Regal Renaissance have their sights lowered and should be capable of making this a good test for the selection. However, dual course winner Current Mood lurks on a dangerous mark and could be the one to take advantage if the burden of top-weight prove troublesome for Dan Skelton's mare.

The change of tactics probably didn't help REGAL RENAISSANCE at Fakenham and it would be no surprise whatsoever to see this consistent 7-y-o get back on track in what should be a strongly-run race. She gets the nod ahead of Sacre Coeur, who lost little caste in defeat at Uttoxeter and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. Current Mood also enters calculations.

A trappy handicap. REGAL RENAISSANCE didn't look comfortable around Fakenham last time but she's got a very solid record at this track.

15:35 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (5/1 +9%) Continuance	5 5/1(+9%)	(9) Continuance 5/1, Fair Flat winner who struck at the first time of asking over hurdles at Sedgefield in October. Running well (still in front) when running out approaching 2 out in Catterick juvenile in December. Not ruled out on his handicap bow. Not obviously well in for this handicap debut but has a low weight.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 +0%) Chief Sunday	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(4) Chief Sunday 13/2, Progressive type who made it 2-4 this season in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago, just holding on. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Just held on at Hereford; raised 4lb and they claimed 7lb last time, so needs more.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/4 +57%) Moon Chime	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(2) Moon Chime 6/4, Useful dual bumper winner who boasts a largely progressive profile over hurdles, scoring twice last term. Shaped well on his return when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) in November and very much one to consider here on the back of a breathing op. Had wind surgery since handicap debut; could be given another chance off this mark.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -20%) Thankyourluckystar	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Thankyourluckystar 12/1, C&D winner who recorded a respectable sixth of 11 to Chief Sunday in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again eased 1 lb. Dual winner but has ground to make up with Chief Sunday on their Hereford form.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 -57%) The Hardest Geezer	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(1) The Hardest Geezer 11/2, Advanced his form to get off the mark over hurdles in 12-runner novice at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 42 days ago. Should have more to offer now going into handicaps. A likely player. Recent maiden winner; handicapper asks a question but open to further progress.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 +15%) Wasthatok	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Wasthatok 28/1, A fairly useful ex-Irish 2m hurdles winner in 2023. Only twice raced for current yard since and a well-held eighth in 2m Taunton handicap 15 days ago. Needs to build on it. Has struggled in handicaps over fences and hurdles since arriving from Ireland.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -367%) Leloopa	14 14/1(-367%)	(5) Leloopa 14/1, Irish import who has improved with each of her 4 starts since switched to hurdles for new yard, making all in mares' hurdles at Hereford and Huntingdon. Off for 99 days but remains very much one to consider on her handicap bow. Made all to win two non-handicaps for mares before the turn of the year.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/1 +42%) Rascal	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Rascal 7/1, Fair winning 2m hurdler but he's been off for 8 months since a well-held sixth of 9 in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback. Might be better for a break and drying conditions would be in his favour; capable.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -65%) Hors Jeu	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Hors Jeu 66/1, A fairly useful 17f hurdles winner in France last spring but he's yet to fire in two runs here this winter, pulled up in Chepstow handicap last month. Has it to prove now. Winner in France; he was a big price when pulled up on handicap debut 22 days ago.

15:35 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CHIEF SUNDAY showed a game attitude when bringing up a double over 2m at Hereford last month and, upped 4lb, this unexposed handicapper gets the tentative vote to score in what looks a competitive affair. The Hardest Geezer did it well when scoring over 2m at Taunton recently and he looks the main danger on his handicap debut. Similar comments apply to Leloopa, who has showed more than enough to suggest that she can play a hand first time up in a handicap.

MOON CHIME returns from a break on a handy-looking mark and with his yard going well he is fancied to bag a third success in this sphere at the chief expense of hat-trick seeking Chief Sunday. C&D winner Thankyourluckystars and handicap debutants The Hardest Geezer and Continuance also need factoring into this competitive hurdle.

A chance is taken on MOON CHIME who retains plenty of upside and has undergone wind surgery since his last run.

16:10 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +17%) Ballycamus	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Ballycamus 5/1, Resumed winning ways in a 5-runner Windsor handicap (24.2f, good to soft) in December. Struggled back at the same course last month but the return to a small-field scenario may help and his rider boasts a good strike rate when partnering chasers. Had an off-day last time but mostly consistent over fences; mark remains manageable.
2	4 2nd (4) (1/1 +17%) Kelce	1 1/1(+17%)	(4) Kelce 1/1, Much improved switched to fences with cheekpieces applied, easily getting off the mark in handicap at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December. Looked booked for second when falling at the last at same course last time and another bold show likely. Up 5lb for falling last time (held every chance) but this 7yo remains unexposed.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -264%) Champagne Mystery	20 20/1(-264%)	(3) Champagne Mystery 20/1, Campaigned primarily in France in recent years. Well held in a trio of Auteuil handicap chases during the autumn but he's dangerous to discount returned to these shores on a potentially handy mark. Out of form in France this season but well handicapped on last season's British form.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (7/1 +50%) Balkardy	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Balkardy 7/1, Landed handicap chase at Stratford in October but generally below par since and needs to bounce back. Beaten 16l+ in all his races since winning off this mark at Stratford in October.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (4/1 +20%) Supervisor	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Supervisor 4/1, Twice a winner last season, including over this C&D, and returned with a solid performance when runner-up in 4-runner event at Warwick (3m, soft) in December. Parted company with his rider at the first fence at Plumpton recently but will have a chance granted a clear round back here. Won twice last year; encouraging comeback run before departing early at Plumpton.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (10/1 -67%) Back On The Lash	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Back On The Lash 10/1, Dual Cross-Country winner at Cheltenham who returned to form when third back there in November. However, his record is distinctly patchy and while he wasn't disgraced with cheekpieces refitted at Catterick last time, others make more appeal. Saves best these days for the cross-country course at Cheltenham.

16:10 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

KELCE looked booked for second behind a subsequent winner before coming down at the last over 3m3f at Market Rasen last time and, provided he is none the worse for that mishap, he looks the one to side with off 5lb higher. Back On The Lash wasn't disgraced when third over 3m1f at Catterick last month and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection off a 3lb lower mark. Supervisor is fancied to complete the podium.

It's easy to forgive the usually reliable BALLYCAMUS for a below-par display at Windsor last month and he can provide Toby McCain-Mitchell with another winning ride in this sphere. Kelce has done little wrong over fences this season and he rates the main danger ahead of Champagne Mystery.

Gina Andrews looks a notable booking for KELCE (nap) who is the only one of these with a progressive profile.

16:43 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -177%) Dunstall Rambler	4.5 9/2(-177%)	(2) Dunstall Rambler 9/2, Finally got off the mark in 8-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) in December. Scored readily there so he has to be taken seriously despite a 5 lb rise. Back up 5lb for last time's Wincanton win (good to soft), but jumping issues concern more..
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +17%) Electric Jet	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Electric Jet 10/3, Placed in an Irish point and made the frame on his first 3 completed starts over hurdles. Also shaped well on his chasing debut when fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) in October so needs considering after a break. Fair fifth on chasing bow; to be seen whether he front runs again dropped further in trip..
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +43%) Glimpse Of Glory	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Glimpse Of Glory 2/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when seventh of 16 in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 78 days ago. Goes chasing now with blinkers added. Likely to be in the mix. Nephew of Dynaste; entitled to take to fences and provide career with fresh impetus..
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -64%) Hazard Collonges	9 9/1(-64%)	(5) Hazard Collonges 9/1, Still looking for first success but arrives in decent nick, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Place claims from a 3 lb lower mark. Front-runner; down 3lb more, but vulnerable again to more economically played rivals..
5th	7 5th (7) (6/1 +57%) Haafback	6 6/1(+57%)	(7) Haafback 6/1, C&D winner in November but only seventh of 8 to Dunstall Rambler in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) 64 days ago. Has since had a wind op and needs it to spark a resurgence. Won identical C&D event in November (good); wind surgery since heavy defeat last time..
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 +43%) Voix De Bocelli	8 8/1(+43%)	(4) Voix De Bocelli 8/1, Fair form in France for Francois Nicolle but boasts a mixed record under various codes for present stable. Reverts to fences and others appeal more. Repeat of previous form in chases and/or with cheekpieces fitted doesn't win him this..
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (16/1 -14%) Seren Y Teigr	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Seren Y Teigr 16/1, Maiden hurdler but he was still in fourth when fell 2 out in handicap chase at Sedgefield (16.4f, soft) 24 days ago. Blinkers replace visor now. No forlorn hope. Better before falling at Sedgefield latest, despite which he's eased 2lb more; chance..

16:43 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Dunstall Rambler is certain to prove popular after winning at Wincanton in December but, although respected, a chance can be taken on ELECTRIC JET. Well found in the betting on his chasing bow in October, the six-year-old showed promise before tiring late on. A drop in trip should suit on that evidence and, if doing so, he could go very close. Glimpse Of Glory had previously shown ability over hurdles and, with blinkers applied for the first time ahead of his chasing bow, he warrants a market check.

Charlie Longsdon's ELECTRIC JET made a promising start in this sphere when fifth at Southwell and could prove the answer in a tricky-looking handicap. Chasing newcomer Glimpse of Glory could emerge as the main danger, with Wincanton scorer Dunstall Rambler and the consistent Hazard Collonges also firmly in the picture.

Dynaste's nephew GLIMPSE OF GLORY can make a winning chase debut in a likely generously run affair, ahead of Electric Jet.

17:13 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -14%) Whatsupwithyou	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Whatsupwithyou 4/1, C&D winner who was tried in different headgear when a solid third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Can go well again from an easing mark for his in-form yard. C&D winner on soft in December 2023; lightly raced since; down weights; on the premises.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +65%) Midnight Ginger	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(7) Midnight Ginger 7/2, Chase winner last January and arrives in good nick in this sphere, fourth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Well treated on chase form last season but continues below best over hurdles this winter.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/4 +30%) Super Sabre Sam	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(4) Super Sabre Sam 7/4, Landed a 19f Fontwell maiden in October and posted a good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Windsor (20f, good to soft) 31 days ago, despite needing a stiffer test. A likely player off an unchanged mark for yard among the winners. Good 2m3f maiden win in October; staying-on third in second handicap (2m4f); has potential.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 +45%) D'jo Dela Barriere	18 18/1(+45%)	(5) D'jo Dela Barriere 18/1, Got off the mark in novice hurdle at Hereford in November but failed to take to fences and only eighth of 11 back in this sphere in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Minor hurdle win before modest chase runs; no impact back hurdling; could fare better here.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 -83%) Saunton Surf	5.5 11/2(-83%)	(8) Saunton Surf 11/2, Bumper winner for Bradley Gibbs in 2023. Made a positive start to this season when runner-up at Lingfield (23f) and running well (in second) when fell last in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap last month. Considered. Running well when taking heavy fall latest; needs to show confidence is unaffected.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Stone's Throw	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Stone's Throw 5/1, Debut bumper winner for Paul Webber. Failed to progress from an encouraging hurdling debut when fourth in novices at Uttoxeter and Taunton but remains with potential now stepping up in trip on his handicap bow. Soft-ground bumper winner; has shown hurdle promise; bred to stay well; handicap debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -100%) Halondo	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Halondo 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Olly Murphy. Good third at Warwick for his new yard in April but had wind surgery/off 9 months before pulled up in 2m3f Chepstow handicap 22 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Emphatic 2m4f win in early 2023; sparingly raced since; pulled up back from layoff latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -106%) Zacony Rebel	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Zacony Rebel 33/1, Dual hurdles/chase winner who was largely disappointing during a light 2023/24 campaign for Toby Lawes. Better effort for present yard when a fair fifth of 8 in handicap at Ludlow in December. Needs to build on that. Latest win over fences in 2022 but lightly raced since and creditable show over C&D latest.

17:13 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Southwell bumper winner STONE'S THROW has few miles on the clock and is one of the likelier candidates now sent handicapping. This test of stamina ought to suit the son of Dartmouth and judged on his previous exploits, a mark of 113 looks workable. Saunton Surf took a heavy fall at Ffos Las recently but she was in contention at the time and remains of interest, provided she is none the worse for that tumble. Super Sabre Sam heads the remainder.

A case can be made for a few of these but SUPER SABRE SAM rates the pick of the weights and with this stiffer test of stamina also a plus he gets the vote. The reliable C&D scorer Whatsupwithyou heads the list of dangers, although Midnight Ginger and Saunton Surf can also have a say in this competitive handicap.

Super Sabre Sam is likely to be dangerous but ZACONY REBEL looked on the way back over C&D last time out and is preferred.
