Orbasa (9/4), Still Believing (9/2), Cut The Corner (5/1), Monbeg Charmer (6/1), Marcilhac (6/1), Super Scorpion (7/1), Mr Shantu (12/1)

Verdict

There is no doubting that Orbasa was impressive last time and stormed clear to win at Wincanton but he’s no banker to follow-up and he’s likely to start at a fairly short price here. Still Believing is always to be respected around here and will go close to improving a chase record here that reads P341232. Both Monbeg Charmer and Super Scorpion will need to jump better than they have of late and back over a more suitable trip CUT THE CORNER is given a chance to maintain his good form since joining this yard. His amateur rider will need to be a little more alive to tactics this time but this strong travelling sort looks ideal for the sharp Ludlow circuit.
  1. Cut The Corner
  2. Still Believing
  3. Orbasa
