Ludlow Place 6 Preview | 10th May

14.17 Radnor Hills Water Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle

FIRST CANDIDATE really enjoyed being ridden positively last time out at Haydock, winning by nine lengths and is very difficult to oppose under the penalty. He can strike in the opener for the Skelton’s.

Tips: FIRST CANDIDATE

14.52 Lion Leintwardine Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle

This is wide-open but SHORTEN SASSY has placed three times, including last time out and must have every chance with a repeat showing in this winnable event. Her mark has been left unaltered too, so she’s fancied to a first career success.

Tips: SHORTEN SASSY

15.27 Radnor Hills Splash Handicap Chase

ZACONY REBEL had plenty up his sleeve when winning over C&D last time out and I see no reason why he should be taken on given he’s favoured by the weights. The 11-year-old can record a third course win at the expense of Law Of Supply.

Tips: ZACONY REBEL

16.02 Welsh Guards Association Handicap Hurdle

The way PERGAMON got the job done at big odds last time out suggests he is going to be hard to beat on this occasion. He has won three of his six hurdle starts to date and he’s up against an average bunch, so he can justify favouritism in what is a poor race.

Tips: PERGAMON

16.37 GC Rickards Mares’ Handicap Chase

CLAIM DU BRIZAIS was a bit disappointing last time out but a repeat of her penultimate third would be good enough form to go close. She is getting a lot of weight from the favourite, and could be ready to bag a first win in this sphere.

Tips: CLAIM DU BRIZAIS

17.10 Heartsease Farm Handicap Hurdle

MIDNIGHT VIEW left all previous form behind when opening his account at Warwick 17 days ago and looks capable of defying this 6lb higher mark. With the exception of one other runner, the rest of the field are badly out of form, so the selection should be able to double his tally.

Tips: MIDNIGHT VIEW
