UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

MEETMEBYTHESEA occupied the runner-up spot between the flags in March and now makes his debut under Rules for his powerful connections. The son of Watar looks to have found an ideal opportunity to score at the first time of asking at the main expense of Oakley's Way. Anthony Honeyball's four-year-old was sent off favourite for each of his three bumper starts but failed to live up to expectation. However, he might prove a different proposition in this sphere and is one to consider. Rascallion needs to be monitored in the market.
Prediction : 1st Meetmebythesea 2nd Oakleys Way 3rd Rascallion

Watchoutitscookie made the frame in this grade at Perth in May and he should mount a bold bid off an unchanged mark on his return to action. However, it may pay to side with TOUCHWOODEXPRESS, who backed up his chasing debut victory with a good second at Warwick last time and he could have plenty more to offer. The son of Mahler might only need to maintain that level of form in order to score. Another Day Out has her quirks after refusing to race last time, but she has to be considered if on a going day.
Prediction : 1st Touchwoodexpress 2nd Watchoutitscookie 3rd Another Day Out

BOB O RHINO wasn't disgraced in fourth in a stronger event than this at Hereford last time and occupied the runner-up spot at this level at Worcester prior to that. The five-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and could regain the winning thread. Olivia Kate produced a better effort to finish fifth at Chepstow earlier in the month and the handicapper might have been kind to drop her 2lb, so she is respected. Malago Rose completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bob O Rhino 2nd Olivia Kate 3rd Malago Rose

EL VIGARO built on his promising second at Uttoxeter at the start of November when scoring with something in hand at the same venue 15 days later. A 5lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of the five-year-old's ability and a quickfire double could be on the cards. Iontach Cheval is entitled to build on his fourth-placed reappearance at Warwick earlier this month and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of handicap debutant Belle Montrose.
Prediction : 1st El Vigaro 2nd Iontach Cheval 3rd Belle Montrose

Having sustained a wound on his right-hind, Keep Running shouldn't be judged too harshly on his pulled-up reappearance at Carlisle last month. Warren Greatrex's charge is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark and an improved bid is forecast. However, it could be worth taking a punt on the returning MR GREY SKY given his yard are in much better form than his third-placed effort at Newcastle in February. Feel The Pinch may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Grey Sky 2nd Keep Running 3rd Feel The Pinch

MELTON MOSSY regained the winning thread when holding on to score over 2m5f here earlier in the month. The son of Valirann isn't certain to stay today's 3m distance, but it looks worth exploring and he may find enough improvement to negate a 5lb rise in the ratings. Myfanwy's Magic was heading in the right direction last season and is feared most on his return to action, ahead of Greatness Awaits.
Prediction : 1st Melton Mossy 2nd Myfanwys Magic 3rd Greatness Awaits
