UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

This step back up in trip should suit Queshi Bridge, who was last seen finishing a staying-on third over 2m4f at Perth in April. Having gone well fresh before, it will be no surprise if she is able to make her presence felt in a race like this. That said, EITHER WAY shades preference. Nicky Henderson's charge reappeared with a game victory over 2m on her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, tackling this distance for the first time, she gets the nod to bring up a double. Of Course You Can can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Either Way 2nd Queshi Bridge 3rd Of Course You Can

NEON MOON produced a career best when scoring at Chepstow on his seasonal reappearance before making the frame in a deep race at Ascot and struggling in the Rehearsal at Newcastle. Easing in grade off 3lb higher than his last winning mark, he may prove tough to peg back in this company. Tightenourbelts arrives on the back of a taking victory at Exeter and he is respected off 3lb higher. Balkardy is capable if on a going day and shouldn't be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Neon Moon 2nd Tightenourbelts 3rd Balkardy

The Kemble Brewery showed smart bumper form and impressed when justifying prohibitive odds at Ffos Las to bring up a hurdling double. Kim Bailey's bright prospect is evidently a novice hurdler very much on the up and another bold bid looks likely, although MEETMEBYTHESEA is narrowly preferred. He was the subject of market support when scoring over C&D on his Rules debut and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to take the next step up the ladder. The others may have to go some to challenge the aforementioned pair, but Last Rodeo is fancied to fill the frame.
Prediction : 1st Meetmebythesea 2nd The Kemble Brewery 3rd Last Rodeo

Venetia Williams has a good record at this track and newcomer PINK BREEZE hails from a family that the trainer knows well. A half-sister to the talented Cheltenham Festival runner-up Pink Legend, she is preferred to Harthope, who had Ninna Collina just behind her when second on debut at Fakenham. Blossom Tea has undergone wind surgery since not showing much at Warwick and she must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Pink Breeze 2nd Harthope 3rd Ninna Collina

Runner-up on three of his four starts since joining the Kerry Lee stable, CABHFUILFUNGI deserves a change in luck and he might get that on this occasion. The eight-year-old has jumped well on both tries over fences and may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Famoso, who arrives on a career-high mark. Alcedo and Wewillgowithplanb have the ability to get involved in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st Cabhfuilfungi 2nd Famoso 3rd Alcedo

ZESTFUL HOPE posted a much improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when touched off by an upwardly mobile rival at Uttoxeter and, with the headgear retained, a 3lb higher mark might not prevent the seven-year-old from going one place better. Chosen Templar has won over hurdles when fresh before and is a notable contender on his debut over the larger obstacles. Ask Brewster needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort here, but still rates a key player in this company.
Prediction : 1st Zestful Hope 2nd Chosen Templar 3rd Ask Brewster

SOLAR SYSTEM showed a game attitude when he landed a conditional riders' event at Warwick and simply encountered another progressive type when failing to justify cramped odds at Southwell subsequently. He was still well clear of the rest and looks worth another chance at this level. Sweet Street's Worcester chase success reads well in the context of this event and she is feared most back over hurdles. The reliable Melton Mossy also warrants serious thought.
Prediction : 1st Solar System 2nd Sweet Street 3rd Melton Mossy
