13:20 – DUKE OF EARL

DUKE OF EARL represents some value against several more experienced rivals in this opening 2m maiden hurdle at Ludlow. The five-year-old is making his racing debut for trainer Kim Bailey, who is currently in flying form having saddled six-winners from his last 13-runners on the racetrack – a 46% strike-rate. Forever Des Long looks exposed for Philip Hobbs, with Olympic Conqueror and Jaunty Freyja looking the bigger dangers in a race that won’t take much winning.

15:05 – LUST FOR GLORY

A small field of six mares have been declared for this novices’ chase which should be won by the Nicky Henderson trained LUST FOR GLORY. The eight-year-old knows how to get her head in-front following a victory at Wetherby on heavy ground earlier this year. The step back up in trip will help after her fourth-place finish over two-miles at Kempton and with a superior rating of 136, she’s the horse to beat and the most likely winner.

16:15 – ONCHAN

The father and son combination of Nigel and Sam Twiston-Davies can secure this 3m maiden hurdle with the short-priced ONCHAN for owner Trevor Hemmings. The six-year-old has the best experience on this type of going, having finished third on soft ground at Wetherby last October and more recently second at Ludlow on heavy conditions last month. He’s related to staying types in the shape of Lord Windermere and Sub Lieutenant and will appreciate the extra few furlongs to score today.

13:20 – Duke Of Earl
15:05 – Lust For Glory
16:15 – Onchan
