UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

Of Course You Can is 10lb higher than her recent C&D success which came following a break and it remains to be seen if the six-year-old can handle a quicker turnaround. School Days Over is likely to prove happier back over timber having been pulled up at Chepstow last month, but the vote goes to THANK YOU MA'AM. Runner-up on his return at Wincanton, the addition of cheekpieces seem to be a positive move in his bid to gain a first career success.
Prediction : 1st Thank You Maam 2nd Of Course You Can 3rd School Days Over

USUARIO AMIGO settled well in the first-time hood when finishing runner-up on his hurdling bow at Kempton having not raced over further than a mile on the Flat. The James Owen string couldn't be in better form at present and this sharp track is likely to play to his strengths. See The Green won over 1m4f on the level and has been gelded ahead of his stable bow, while Offiah's Boy is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Usuario Amigo 2nd See The Green 3rd Offiahs Boy

NED CASH produced his best effort so far when second at Uttoxeter on his debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies last month and the six-year-old is likely to have more to offer now sent chasing for the first time. Everyonesacritic shaped as though he would be better for the experience when down the field at Stratford and the handicapper may have been lenient in dropping him 4lb. A repeat of Gerard Mentor's penultimate success at Worcester gives him a chance too.
Prediction : 1st Ned Cash 2nd Everyonesacritic 3rd Gerard Mentor

An exciting sort for the Jamie Snowden outfit, having triumphed on both starts in bumpers last season, HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA gave every impression that she will improve for going up in trip, with both of those wins coming on heavy ground. The daughter of Affinisea should have too much for the The Secret Pearl, who showed promise on occasions last season in bumpers and could progress over hurdles. Squiggles may have a say in proceedings too.
Prediction : 1st Hollygrove Cha Cha 2nd The Secret Pearl 3rd Squiggles

DEEP PURPLE was value for more than the winning margin suggests when scoring in a bumper at Southwell on his most recent start, and he looks just the type to improve for having his first go over the smaller obstacles. A winner of a point-to-point in March, Dan Skelton's charge is likely to relish the step up in trip and he is narrowly preferred to Wendigo, who arrives with similar claims. A creditable fourth on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter in May, Lightningupourdays must enter calculations as well.
Prediction : 1st Deep Purple 2nd Wendigo 3rd Lightningupourdays

THE KNIPHAND was a very impressive winner over 3m at Southwell a month ago and the six-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 5lb higher mark here. That said, the hat-trick seeking Ask Brewster is an obvious threat to the selection following his success at this venue two weeks ago. The rest all have questions to answer, but Rockinastorm is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st The Kniphand 2nd Ask Brewster 3rd Rockinastorm

FRONTIER PRINCE's half-brother won a bumper on debut for these connections last year and it would be no surprise to see him repeat that achievement here. Intosomethinggood also has a pedigree that suggests that he could make the frame in a race of this nature, while Farhh Echo showed some ability on his racecourse bow at Huntingdon and could put that experience to good use.
Prediction : 1st Frontier Prince 2nd Intosomethinggood 3rd Farhh Echo
