Ludlow Skip Hire Open Hunters' Chase

Pulled up at Stratford when last seen in this sphere back in the summer. Has since run well in points having won by 30 lengths two weeks ago so is fit and raring to go.

Returns to the track after nine months absence. Won his last two starts at Warwick and Stratford. Gets on well with this rider and should go well.

Winner of three Open point-to-points last season and made a winning seasonal debut at Cottenham (3m, good-to-firm) before Christmas. Notable runner having won over C&D in the past.

Smart performer on his day under rules but has been very lightly raced over the last couple of years. Returns from a three-month break here but sure to give it a bold go on first attempt in this sphere.

Won a handicap at Cheltenham for Dan Skelton back in October but has been very disappointing since. Starts life for new connections today and will need to bounce back to his best here.

Can be a bit in-and-out at times but best efforts would give him a squeak. Well into the veteran stage now though and others have stronger claims.

Well over three years since he last won and can't be fancied here on anything we saw from him in point-to-points or in this sphere last year or so.

Often runs well and likes it here. Gave Road To Tome a real scare here last time having been given a very patient ride by today's rider. Sure to run her race once more.
