UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

TERRESITA finished a creditable third in a premier handicap at Sandown last month and, back into calmer waters, this looks a good opportunity for Lucy Wadham's seven-year-old to regain the winning sequence. Gastibelza, a six-time winner when trained in France, ought to relish conditions should they be testing and with Current Mood uncertain to take up this engagement following her run at Chepstow on Monday, she could be the sole threat.
Prediction : 1st Terresita 2nd Gastibelza 3rd Current Mood

EASY PEASY lost her unbeaten record when finishing down the field in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November, but the daughter of Walk In The Park put that behind her to make a successful hurdling bow at Exeter 62 days ago. This doesn't look the strongest of contests, so she's taken to carry a penalty to success. Get Sky High might not have been seen for 504 days, but she had some useful form in the book prior to her absence and market support would be interesting. Twyford's Diamond heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Easy Peasy 2nd Get Sky High 3rd Twyfords Diamond

Wincanton winner Tedley was far from disgraced in a warm premier handicap at Sandown last time out and he must be of interest at this lower level, but the vote goes to EL SAVIOUR. The six-year-old recorded a comfortable success at Warwick when pitched into a handicap for the first time and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to stop him. Bucksy Des Epeires should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st El Saviour 2nd Tedley 3rd Bucksy Des Epeires

JET PLANE bounced back to form with a victory at Sandown last month following a string of disappointing efforts. Dan Skelton's gelding, whose previous success had come over 3m2f at Newton Abbot in October, is likely to relish stepping back up in trip and gets the vote to handle a 2lb rise from the handicapper. Georges Saint finished third at Wincanton when attempting to land a hat-trick and is respected along with Kestrel Valley, who should find this easier than the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham.
Prediction : 1st Jet Plane 2nd Georges Saint 3rd Kestrel Valley

BALHAMBAR has shown some promise recently over hurdles, including when third at Huntingdon last month, and the application of a tongue-tie for his handicap bow may yield enough improvement to see him get off the mark in this sphere. Passing Kate was dropped 3lb for her recent third at Hereford and is capable of going close, while Royal Deeside and Dundory appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Balhambar 2nd Passing Kate 3rd Royal Deeside

ISKANDAR PECOS produced a fine effort on his hunter chase debut when runner-up at Haydock and the six-year-old didn't need to repeat that level of performance at Leicester just 10 days later. He is open to further improvement which is unlikely to be the case for his main rivals, Before Midnight and Senior Citizen, who were both more than useful performers in handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Iskandar Pecos 2nd Before Midnight 3rd Senior Citizen
