UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

This could go the way of the David Evans-trained JACKS PROFIT, who saw off the reopposing Welsh Charger by two and three-quarter lengths over C&D on his penultimate run. The son of Profitable demands respect given he still receives 10lb from Alastair Ralph's inmate, due to being a four-year-old, and he is entitled to uphold that form. Gallopade finished in third behind the aforementioned pair last time and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jacks Profit 2nd Welsh Charger 3rd Gallopade

CARTONNE arrives on a hat-trick bid following a facile success over an extended 2m4f at Musselburgh earlier this month and can have another big say in proceedings off 6lb higher. He defied an 8lb rise, as well as a step up in class, from his penultimate start to win there and he remains open to plenty of further improvement. Fire Dancer and Zestful Hope rate his most serious dangers.
Prediction : 1st Cartonne 2nd Fire Dancer 3rd Zestful Hope

BERTIE'S WISH caught the eye when securing a three-length success over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month and demands respect, despite a 7lb rise. He does have to shoulder joint top-weight with Killaloan, who scored by a length on his handicap debut over an extended 2m at Taunton most recently. Paul Nicholls' inmate should not be taken lightly and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Mamoon Star is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Berties Wish 2nd Killaloan 3rd Mamoon Star

This looks a tight-knit contest, in which a chance can be taken on LATITUDE, who was only beaten a neck in this class at Kelso last time and is just 2lb higher now. That was the son of Shirocco's first try at this sort of distance and, therefore, he could have more to come. Tide Times has to be respected as he is only 1lb higher than when winning at this track over an extended 3m1f on his penultimate start. Another to note is Concetto, who has been in fine form of late.
Prediction : 1st Latitude 2nd Tide Times 3rd Concetto

It's difficult to oppose TIGHTENOURBELTS, who was only beaten half a length by Hugos New Horse last time and also had a subsequent winner well held in third. The level of that form looks far superior to the rest in this contest and the six-year-old can strike. Tikitov continues to knock on the door and rates the biggest threat, while Lunar Contact looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tightenourbelts 2nd Tikitov 3rd Lunar Contact

Not beaten far on either of his last two starts, NO NO TANGO has shown enough to suggest that he can get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. This track should suit as he looks to see off the likes of Carlisle winner Malaita and Whatsupwithyou, who hinted at a return to winning ways when runner-up at Newbury. Handicap debutant Spring Meadow can also have a say in proceedings on just his sixth career outing.
Prediction : 1st No No Tango 2nd Whatsupwithyou 3rd Malaita

An impressive winner at Leicester last month, having unseated the rider when going well at Haydock before that, ESPOIR DE TEILLEE looks like he's getting the hang of things in this sphere. The veteran performer is taken to get the better of the capable Envious Editor, who finished runner-up in the aforementioned Haydock contest when last sighted. No Getaway looks next best.
Prediction : 1st Espoir De Teillee 2nd Envious Editor 3rd No Getaway
