Join The Ludlow Racecourse Racing Club Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Won a 2m Chepstow maiden hurdle on yard debut in April. Followed up on the Flat at Newbury 3 weeks later. Given a break since finishing fifth on the Flat at Chester in June. Open to further progress in this sphere back from a break.

Fair maiden hurdle who hasn't been seen since finishing fourth at Worcester in August 2023 (final start for Dr Richard Newland). Best watched on this first outing for over 2 years.

Course bumper winner 15 days ago and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a highly dramatic junior hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good) last November, just him and the favourite left standing after the second. Should have more to offer but plenty of improvement will be needed to follow up. Has had wind surgery ahead of return.

Point bumper winner in April and followed up in ready fashion in a Stratford bumper on his Rules debut in May. Narrowly denied under a penalty at Bangor in June and should have a decent future over jumps.

Flat winner in Ireland who showed fair form when runner-up twice in juvenile hurdles last season. Should play a prominent role on reappearance with his yard in good form.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) for Andrew Balding. Off since a lesser effort in May. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations now hurdling.
