13:40 Ludlow

It might be worth chancing MEECHLANDS MAGIC to bounce back here. He was impressive winning by 10 lengths at Worcester last month and he unseated too early to know how he would have done at Hereford last time. He was heavily backed that day and may well have followed up with a clear round. He still has potential off his current mark and looks good value here against the market principals. West Orchard made all at Plumpton last time and will be a danger if backing that up but she lacked consistency over hurdles which is a bit worrying. Braganza Bay bolted up on chase debut at Hereford but that was by no means a strong race and this is tougher and he has gone up 7lb too.
