Ludlow 15:00 Odds Comparison

Maiden hurdle winner last spring and has been going the right way over fences last 3 starts, landing the odds in 3-runner novice handicap at Hereford 6 days ago (only one other finisher). Could still have more to offer making first handicap start in this sphere.

After 6 months off, gained a first success for present connections over this C&D in December and has continued in good heart with 3 runner-up efforts since, only narrowly denied at Market Rasen on latest outing. Can make another bold bid back here.

Not entirely straightforward but good second of 13 on handicap debut at Haydock in March, the winner scoring again next time. Backed that up when filling the same position in 4-runner maiden at Ascot (19f) 24 days ago, though more needed returned to handicap company.

Made a winning start over hurdles in a Catterick novice in December. Has't kicked on in 3 starts since, though, showing an awkward side when fourth of 10 in valuable handicap at Musselburgh (2½m) a month ago. Cheekpieces wore last time now replaced with blinkers.

Won twice over hurdles last season, including a novice at this course. Good second in 4-runner novice handicap at Worcester on seasonal/chase debut in September, but pulled up at Cheltenham next time and mixed form back hurdling last 3 starts.

Stoutly-bred mare who showed much improved form on her second start in handicaps when winning at this course (21f) in February. Wasn't able to repeat that effort here last time, but she's worth another chance with this longer trip promising to suit.

Point winner who showed up well on Rules debut when third of 12 in mares maiden hurdle (21f) in February. Well held next time but got back on track when third of 5 in a Wincanton novice 3 weeks ago, though had the run of the race.
