12:40 (Ludlow) Gaboriot
Gaboriot remains unbeaten this season after a flawless start to the campaign and looks best placed to continue winning streak.
Quoi De Neuf improved on opening effort at Market Rasen to finish second at Catterick over 2m3 1/2f and has a genuine chance.
Jimmy The Digger found things tough at Warwick running fifth. Takes on easier here and isn't without hope.
Musical Slave couldn't handle the market leaders in a tricky race at Cheltenham and might play a role if bringing A-game.
13:15 (Ludlow) Dameofthecotswolds
Dameofthecotswolds turned a promising debut run at Stratford into a winning one at Huntingdon attempting a jumpers flat.
Showed plenty of ability and is the one to beat.
Love Tree only narrowly lost out to Dameofthecotswolds last start and could reverse form finding improvement over hurdles.
Virginia Lodge revisits lesser company after pulling up in a Listed event. Big player if replicating maiden hurdle win.
Circle Of Hope finished third at Fakenham on debut over two miles and might find more to play a winning role.
15:00 (Ludlow) Cartonne
Cartonne improved from seasonal debut effort to land a Doncaster race and will be a leading player.
Mister Marbles returns from a lengthy lay off. Filled a minor placing at Chepstow over two miles and is capable if ready to go.
Barrakhov is having his first start for new yard and will need to improve on fifth placed effort at Worcester Maiden.
15:35 (Ludlow) Go To War
Go To War can make it third time lucky over jumps in the Tanners Cava EBF “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle.
Fergal O’Brien’s charge won a Uttoxeter bumper last term before being far from disgraced in Grade Two company at Aintree, but he parted company with Paddy Brennan when put over obstacles at Exeter in October.
His third-placed effort in a well-contested Taunton contest was much more like it, though, and the son of Soldier Of Fortune now looks ready to come home in front.
