UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

This looks a trappy contest to open proceedings, so only a tentative vote goes to WALKADINA. David Pipe's mare showed up well for a long way before fading into third over 1m7f at Wincanton recently and, making her first start since wind surgery, she gets the vote to put her experience to good use. Little Dipper shaped with plenty of promise when third over 2m at Southwell on his first start over hurdles and he could emerge as the main danger, while Spectre One completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Walkadina 2nd Little Dipper 3rd Spectre One

FELTON BELLEVUE fairly bolted up over an extended 2m7f at Lingfield last week and he is fancied to supplement that victory, with Charlie Case's claim effectively cancelling out the 7lb penalty. Puddlesinthepark was last seen running out a ready winner over 3m1f at Hereford earlier this month and he must be respected off 5lb higher, while recent C&D scorer Faitque De L'Isle also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Felton Bellevue 2nd Puddlesinthepark 3rd Faitque De LIsle

KOMEDY KICKS has notched two wins from three starts for the Skelton's and looks the type this yard tend to excel with. She was doing her best work late on when scoring narrowly over an extended 2m3f at Catterick last month and with her stamina drawn out further off 3lb higher, she gets the nod to bring up the hat-trick. Looking As You Are rediscovered her shooting boots on a foray into this grade last time and another bold bid looks likely off 3lb higher, while Gaye Legacy is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Komedy Kicks 2nd Looking As You Are 3rd Gaye Legacy

Turned out again quickly after scoring easily here over 2m4f last week, SACRE COEUR looks ready for another go at 3m and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent her from landing an 11th career success. Raised 4lb for a comfortable win over the same track and trip earlier in the month, Post Chaise is likely to appreciate going back up in trip, while Heard That arrives on the back of a strong runner-up effort at Market Rasen behind a winner that has gone in again since.
Prediction : 1st Sacre Coeur 2nd Post Chaise 3rd Heard That

HELLFIRE PRINCESS caught the eye on her return from a 394-day absence when runner-up over a similar distance at Hereford last time and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as she looks to go one better. Brockarno had the reopposing Charming Getaway (second) a neck behind when scoring at Doncaster last month but the latter may be able to overturn that form meeting on 1lb better terms.
Prediction : 1st Hellfire Princess 2nd Charming Getaway 3rd Brockarno

Runner-up at Uttoxeter last time in a contest that has worked out well since, PORT OR STARBOARD looks the one to beat off a mark 2lb lower than his sole victory to date. Back to form with a creditable second at Sandown most recently, Snapius looks to be a key threat, as well as Zucayan, who wasn't beaten far over further at Taunton earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Port Or Starboard 2nd Snapius 3rd Zucayan
