2:52 Ludlow Tips

Tactical positioning is the primary key to this race. With a very weak gallop forecast, the horses positioned toward the rear will likely be left with too much to do when the sprint begins. This gelding is a confirmed prominent racer who thrives when allowed to dictate or sit just off the pace. Mathematically, he possesses a massive advantage over his current assessment, and the quick ground at Ludlow suits his high finishing speed perfectly. He arrives in peak fitness and should simply have too much tactical speed for his staying rivals in a slowly run affair.

Jockey takes off 7 lb. Stepping up in trip to 3m for the first time. Reasonable 4th of 10 last time out and can build on that.

Yet to win from nine starts over hurdles but did finish a good 2nd here last year and arrives having finished 3rd at Exeter last time. Each-way chance if in the same form off the same mark.
