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

GO TO WAR backed up the promise he showed on his debut at Taunton when putting a subsequent winner in their place by seven and a half lengths over C&D in December. Fergal O'Brien's six-year-old has since undergone wind surgery and, with further improvement likely in a first-time tongue-tie, he can defy his 7lb penalty. Court In The Act, who struck by a neck at Kempton on Boxing Day, has progressed nicely since joining the Harry Derham yard and also has to be considered. Of the remainder, Blueberry Wine appeals most.

It's likely this will develop into a straight fight between last-time-out hurdle winners COURT IN THE ACT and Go To War, with preference for the former.

Having won in good style over C&D on soft ground in December last time out, GO TO WAR is taken to defy a penalty and follow up.

15:05 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MALAITA has failed to justify favouritism in each of her last two starts over this C&D but she has been far from disgraced by finishing second in both of them. The daughter of Malinas has dropped a total of 3lb for those efforts and she can go one better on this occasion. Keep Running attempted to make all when beaten nine lengths into third in this grade at Hereford last month and he could have a say off a 1lb lower rating, while Kings Keeper sports first-time blinkers and can beat the returning Zertakt home for third.

MALAITA continues to shape like a winner in waiting and this could be her day with stamina doubts surrounding Keep Running. Expensive French-recruit Zertakt made a low-key start for this yard over a year ago but his absence since suggests all was not well so he's an interesting contender switched to fences.

A long absence is frequently not an issue when it comes to Venetia Williams' horses and ZERTAKT earns the vote on his chase debut.

World Of Dreams hasn't been seen since making it two wins out of three hurdle starts at Plumpton in January 2022, and he is an interesting contender on his return from a long absence on his handicap bow. However, the Anthony Honeyball yard have strike-rate of 0-9 in the last 14 days (at the time of writing), so the hat-trick seeking IMMORTAL FAME makes the most appeal. The eight-year-old secured victory in good fashion in a class 3 event at Ascot in December and while he was hit with a 9lb rise for that success, it is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. In D'or completes the shortlist.

IMMORTAL FAME has been thriving this season, finishing clear with a handicap debutant when winning at Ascot in December, and he can make a bold bid for the hat-trick back down in grade. Cape Vidal is feared most with the potential of better still to come as he makes his handicap bow, with New Found Fame also considered returned to hurdling.

Anthony Honeyball's horses often go well when fresh and WORLD OF DREAMS is the pick on his return from an absence.

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

GREENROCK ABBEY has shown a good level of consistency over fences and is a highly appealing option back at over 2m, with ground conditions expected to be in his favour. The class-dropping Fast Buck also commands respect but concedes 11lb to the selection, so a bigger threat may be posed by the attractively-weighted One True King. The latter has recently posted some respectable efforts over longer distances and his previous experience of this tricky course will help now eased in trip.

Hard to have much faith in any of these, with the consistent GREENROCK ABBEY given the nod to get off the mark for the season. One True King has ran well over further here on his last 2 outings and can pose the biggest threat ahead of Moonlighter.

The 11yo MOONLIGHTER wasn't at his best at Ayr last time but was in fair form previously and is taken to capitalise on a reduced mark.

Queshi Bridge posted a respectable effort when second over 2m5f on debut for the Alastair Ralph yard here last month and, having previously shown ability over this trip during her time in Ireland, the eight-year-old is a notable contender. Nevertheless, the distance is a concern and, with that in mind, the less-exposed BRENDAS ASKING, who represents a resurgent yard, is preferred. She can utilise her speed to make a winning handicap debut, while the low-mileage Dromlac Jury also warrants a betting check.

QUESHI BRIDGE improved on first outing for Alastair Ralph when runner-up at this course last month and, with that form proving strong, she's taken to make a successful handicap bow back down in trip. Brendas Asking and Dromlac Jury are two other lightly-raced sorts who warrant respect on their handicap debuts.

The 5yo DROMLAC JURY (nap) has got better with each of her three hurdle outings and can make a winning start in handicaps.

Before Midnight is a classy recruit to the hunters' chase scene and commands respect on his debut run in this sphere. However, ESPOIR DE GUYE displayed battling qualities when landing a similar race at Wincanton last month and another show of determination could suffice here. Recent point-to-point winner Shang Tang (second) is also noteworthy back over regulation fences. Captain Tommy (winner) is closely matched with the last- named based on their encounter here last month, but has something to prove after flopping between the flags since.

Having bounced back to make all at Wincanton 22 days ago, ESPOIR DE GUYE makes plenty of appeal in another thin race. Before Midnight has the slightly better recent form but has a poor run to put behind him, while there's hope for Captain Tommy if the aforementioned pair aren't quite on their game.

Having returned to form with a hunter chase win at Wincanton three weeks ago, ESPOIR DE GUYE is selected to make it two in a row.
