2.5/1(+25%)
(4) Kakamora 2.5/1, £105,000 buy after winning sole start in Irish points. Failed to meet expectations on Rules/hurdles debut but was much improved when second of 16 over C&D last month. Likely to progress further.

8
8/1(+20%)

20
20/1(-67%)
(8) Osprey Call 20/1, A cheap purchase given pedigree but proved himself a bargain buy when winning AW bumper on debut. Looked a hard ride next time and subsequently sold from Noel Williams for £31,000.

40

1.75
1.75/1(+7%)
(1) Annsam 1.75/1, Progressive over hurdles last term and ran to a fairly useful level at the second attempt over fences when second in C&D event last month, not knocked about. More to come.
3
2nd (3) (1.38/1 -10%) Fidelio Vallis
1.38
1.38/1(-10%)
(3) Fidelio Vallis 1.38/1, Dual winner over hurdles at 2m and has returned in decent heart (stiff task in Cheltenham Grade 2 latest). Up in trip for chasing debut and no surprise if he did well.
5
3rd (5) (100/1 -257%) Aasleagh Dawn
100
100/1(-257%)
(5) Aasleagh Dawn 100/1, Fair hurdles winner and a fairly useful maiden handicap chaser at best in Ireland. Has lost her way and has her work cut out starting out for new yard.
2
|PU| (2) (28/1 +58%) Daranova
28
28/1(+58%)
(2) Daranova 28/1, Fair maiden in bumpers/over hurdles. Has the size for chasing and should get a longer trip. Stiff task in this.
4

2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(4) Strong Glance 2.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who had been in good form until a half-hearted display in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last month. Should make up into a useful handicap chaser if his mind is on the job.
LTO Selection:
12:50 Ludlow Maiden Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Misty Whisky 1.1/1, Useful dual bumper winner. Expensive to follow over hurdles last season but had a wind op and was tongue tied prior to making a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter last month. One to beat.
1
2nd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Getaweapon
3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(1) Getaweapon 3.33/1, Point winner who confirmed the promise of her runner-up effort in a bumper when going one better on hurdles debut at Hereford a month ago (16.2f). More to do under a penalty but this trip will suit.
5
3rd (5) (14/1 +13%) Aurelia Or
14
14/1(+13%)
(5) Aurelia Or 14/1, Well-bred mare but failed to meet expectations when sixth of 8 in bumper at Fontwell on debut in August and looks a handicap project over hurdles.
14
4th (14) (200/1 -100%) Trump Lady
200
200/1(-100%)
(14) Trump Lady 200/1, Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 4¼m) Regal Encore. Off the mark at third attempt in Irish points in March but no impact in a bumper/novice hurdle this autumn.
9

50
50/1(-317%)
(9) Jerminnie Green 50/1, Dam, winning pointer, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles. Off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt a year ago. No impact in a Taunton bumper in March but this test should be more suitable.
4
6th (4) (40/1 -100%) Ask The Lady
40
40/1(-100%)
(4) Ask The Lady 40/1, Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-3m winner) Uimhiraceathair. Placed twice from 4 starts in points and not unduly punished sole bumper run. This step up in trip will suit.
6
7th (6) (100/1 -150%) Drumlee Getaway
100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Drumlee Getaway 100/1, Winner of sole start between the flags but has made a low-key start to Rules career in a bumper and a novice hurdle.
8
8th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Go Chique
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(8) Go Chique 5.5/1, Made winning debut in Southwell bumper in September. Made mistakes when fifth on hurdles debut but more like it when runner-up at Fakenham last month. Steps up in distance.
3
|PU| (3) (5.5/1 +39%) Arbor Vitae
5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(3) Arbor Vitae 5.5/1, Back on track following a fall at Limerick when third of 10 in the mud at Clonmel in March. Since switched to Dr Richard Newland so improvement may well be forthcoming.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 -113%) Forthegreatergood
16
16/1(-113%)
(7) Forthegreatergood 16/1, Off mark in Irish points at third attempt but failed to justify support either start in bumpers last season (had a wind op after the first one). Hurdles debut upped in distance.
12
|PU| (12) (250/1 -25%) Silk Or Satin
250
250/1(-25%)
(12) Silk Or Satin 250/1, Fell in a point and failed to offer much in a bumper/mares' novice hurdle for Dan Skelton last winter. Acquired for just £2,000 by present stable and well held at Ascot.
10
|PU| (10) (250/1 +0%) Midnight Makeover
250
250/1(+0%)
(10) Midnight Makeover 250/1, Last in two bumpers before unseating rider early in 2m novice at Ludlow on hurdles bow last month. Significantly up in trip but easily opposed.

(5) Admiral's Secret 8.5/1, Has refused to race on a couple of occasions but ended last season in fine form, winning in great style at Leicester then following up at Wincanton. Respected on return from 9 months off.

5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(6) Molineaux 5.5/1, Built on his promising return at the third attempt when enhancing good Wincanton record in January. Went backwards from reappearance when pulled up at Exeter earlier this month so must bounce back.
8
3rd (8) (9/1 +25%) Generous Day
9
9/1(+25%)
(8) Generous Day 9/1, Winner of 3 of his 11 starts over fences but ended last season on a downer and has struggled at Stratford/Kempton this term.
1
4th (1) (5.5/1 -22%) Caid Du Lin
5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(1) Caid Du Lin 5.5/1, Sole win last term came in this corresponding race last year. Not disgraced after 9 months off when fourth at Ascot on return but never landed a blow at Aintree 11 days ago. Shortlisted.
7
5th (7) (33/1 -175%) Baby King
33
33/1(-175%)
(7) Baby King 33/1, Winless in a light campaign last term but signed off with good second in 2m Hereford handicap chase. Probably needed run on return after a wind op so will need to build on that to feature here.
3
|PU| (3) (1.38/1 +31%) Eritage
1.38
1.38/1(+31%)
(3) Eritage 1.38/1, Scopey individual who stepped up markedly on hurdling efforts when making winning chasing debut over C&D on return. Ran to a similar level at Newbury last time and remains open to progress. Big shout.
4
|PU| (4) (10/1 -25%) Litterale Ci
10
10/1(-25%)
(4) Litterale Ci 10/1, Opened account at second attempt over fences in 4-runner maiden at Exeter and most of a good opportunity in novice chase at Warwick 8 months ago. Not so good on return so has questions to answer.
2
|PU| (2) (11/1 -57%) Hatcher
11
11/1(-57%)
(2) Hatcher 11/1, Has a good strike rate and justified support when making winning return to fences at Southwell in July. Not disgraced in tougher races at Cheltenham and Newbury since so he's respected.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(4) Another Venture 8.5/1, Wasted no time getting back to form when 2 lengths third of 6 to Head To The Stars in handicap chase (5/1) at this C&D (heavy) and went close on his reappearance last season. Off 9 months.
3
2nd (3) (7/1 -40%) Brelan D'As
7
7/1(-40%)
(3) Brelan D'As 7/1, Dual chase winner who went close in a Cheltenham Grade 3 handicap off this mark 13 months ago. Well held next 3 starts, including both outings this term.
6
3rd (6) (16/1 +20%) Coup De Pinceau
16
16/1(+20%)
(6) Coup De Pinceau 16/1, Useful chaser who returned to form to take advantage of a drop in the weights at Perth. However, added to increasingly patchy record here next time and has since left Paul Nicholls.
1
4th (1) (2/1 +20%) Earlofthecotswolds
2
2/1(+20%)
(1) Earlofthecotswolds 2/1, Improved on hurdles form over fences last season, landing a useful novice at Exeter. Excellent second back over fences at Ascot last month and back down in class now. Extra distance should suit.
10
|PU| (10) (3.33/1 +17%) Buster Thomas
3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(10) Buster Thomas 3.33/1, Fairly useful chaser who has returned from 20-month layoff in excellent form, placed again at Wincanton last time. Can make his presence felt again.

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(9) Head To The Stars 8.5/1, Signed off last term with a career-best win over C&D. No promise at Uttoxeter on return last month, however.
2
|PU| (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Kilfilum Cross
8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(2) Kilfilum Cross 8.5/1, Useful sort who ended last term with fine second in the Kim Muir Chase. Looked rusty on Fakenham return but failed to build on that both starts since.
5
|PU| (5) (18/1 +0%) Like The Sound
18
18/1(+0%)
(5) Like The Sound 18/1, Useful form when landing 2 staying handicap chases in early 2019 but just the one creditable effort last season so bit to prove on balance on return for new yard after wind op.
7
|PU| (7) (22/1 -10%) As You Like
22
22/1(-10%)
(7) As You Like 22/1, Enhanced good strike rate over fences when scoring in good style at Southwell (24.3f) in July. However, well below par last 2 starts.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(4) Broken Quest 2.5/1, Low-mileage hurdler who completed a quick-fire hat-trick around 20f in 2018 for David Dennis. Returns from over 2-year absence now but not taken lightly for yard who are well among the winners.
8
2nd (8) (4.5/1 +55%) Precious Eleanor
4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(8) Precious Eleanor 4.5/1, Maiden who ran up to best when runner-up on return at Hereford (19.6f) in October. Possible her stamina was stretched at Market Rasen (23f) since and her mark looks about right on balance.
5
3rd (5) (10/1 -100%) Valadom
10
10/1(-100%)
(5) Valadom 10/1, Veteran who made it 2 wins from last 4 starts in a veterans' handicap chase at Newcastle (20f) last month, typically going with plenty of zest. Not ruled out back over smaller obstacles.
1
4th (1) (7/1 -17%) Lisa De Vassy
7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Lisa De Vassy 7/1, Flat winner in France who improved with each start over hurdles for Paul Nicholls, again finding only one too good at Exeter (18.5f) in February. Switched yards for £22,000 since and she's respected.
12
5th (12) (16/1 +43%) Oakley Hall
16
16/1(+43%)
(12) Oakley Hall 16/1, Bumper winner in Ireland who became increasingly temperamental over hurdles for Jonjo O'Neill (winless) during 2019. Has switched yards ahead of return, which needs to have perked him up.
9
6th (9) (25/1 -56%) Jaunty Viking
25
25/1(-56%)
(9) Jaunty Viking 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who again ran below the pick of his hurdles form (not solid) when midfield in a 15.7f novice here in October. Progress required now switched to handicap company.
3
7th (3) (28/1 -155%) Granny's Secret
28
28/1(-155%)
(3) Granny's Secret 28/1, Point bumper winner who made it second time lucky over hurdles at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) in March. Not in same form in a C&D event on return but forecast soft ground rates a plus now handicapping.
2
8th (2) (6.5/1 +35%) Virginia Chick
6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(2) Virginia Chick 6.5/1, Course winner who ended last season in a lull and he offered little on return over fences at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October. However, mark is easing all the time at least ahead of the return to timber.
10
|U| (10) (80/1 -142%) Equilibrium
80
80/1(-142%)
(10) Equilibrium 80/1, Just modest form over hurdles for W. P. Mullins in Ireland and well held in a mares' novice at Newbury (16.3f) for new yard last month. Likely best watched on handicap debut.
7
|PU| (7) (5.5/1 -38%) Docte Dina
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(7) Docte Dina 5.5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has shaped with promise to hit the frame in pair of mares' novice/maiden events 11 months apart. In excellent hands and she can be expected to improve now handicapping.
11
|PU| (11) (16/1 +52%) Chato
16
16/1(+52%)
(11) Chato 16/1, Fairly useful bumper performer for Alan King who hit the frame twice in handicap hurdles upon joining David Pipe in 2018. Absence since an obvious worry and market best guide on debut for new yard.

2.25
2.25/1(-208%)
(6) Le Bateau 2.25/1, Flat-bred gelding who improved on debut effort when runner-up to Flinteur Sacre 10 months ago. Has joined that one's trainer Nicky Henderson since and could take all the beating on return.

10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Hartnoll Hero 10/1, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Merchant House and showed some ability when fourth at Newton Abbot 48 days ago. Not totally discounted but requires improvement.

(7) Trwyn Du 1.62/1, €34,000 3-y-o, Valirann gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdlers Never Equalled and Broken Quest. Dam maiden pointer. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

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.
