UK Horse Racing Tips: Ludlow

AMANCIO was successful on the level at Newbury back in the spring and also won when last seen in this sphere at Chepstow in April. Faye Bramley's charge is narrowly preferred to Ocean Conquest, who drops to novice company after being outclassed in a handicap at Ascot when last in action. A taking winner of a bumper at Ludlow earlier in the month, Snatch A Glance is an intriguing prospect on his debut in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Amancio 2nd Ocean Conquest 3rd Snatch A Glance

A confident vote goes to MINI FORTUNE, who could not have done it any easier at Ffos Las last week and a 7lb penalty for that success is largely offset by 5lb claimer Callum Pritchard taking over in the saddle. Now with new connections and an easy winner at Doncaster on her penultimate start, Loud And Proud must be noted on her return. Another Day Out can step forward from her distant third over C&D most recently.
Prediction : 1st Mini Fortune 2nd Loud And Proud 3rd Another Day Out

A taking winner over 2m at Worcester, CELESTRON STAR looked like a mare on top of her game and stepping up in trip could eke out further improvement in the five-year-old. A tad lucky to score at Bangor, Dothejive is still open to further progression and should be thereabouts. Ask Peter has yet to put it together since joining Anthony Honeyball, but the rise in distance may aid her cause.
Prediction : 1st Celestron Star 2nd Dothejive 3rd Ask Peter

YES DAY looked to be getting into contention when falling four out over C&D and he may be able to gain compensation off the same mark. Twice a winner last season, he relishes quick ground and is preferred to the returning Histrionic, who is a point-to-point winner so has plenty of potential on his debut in this sphere. Due to go up 3lb after his success over hurdles at Ffos Las last week, D'jo Dela Barriere is another to note on the switch back to chasing.
Prediction : 1st Yes Day 2nd Histrionic 3rd Djo Dela Barriere

TOUCHWOODEXPRESS, Tankardstown Diva and Prince De Juilley are all bidding to complete doubles, but preference is for the first-named. The Twiston-Davies' charge appreciated the return to this discipline when going in by three lengths at Newton Abbot and might have been let off lightly with just a 2lb rise. Prince De Juilley showed improvement in a first-time visor to score at Stratford, but blinkers being reapplied raises a question mark.
Prediction : 1st Touchwoodexpress 2nd Prince De Juilley 3rd Tankardstown Diva

Olivia Kate's sole career success came over C&D and she may strip fitter for her reappearance fifth over an inadequate trip at Chepstow earlier this month. However, MATCHADAM was well fancied when only fourth at Southwell in May and has since undergone a wind operation. With the Tom Lacey string in fine order and the possibility of more to come on just his third handicap outing, he looks the one to side with. Briery Butterfly isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Matchadam 2nd Olivia Kate 3rd Briery Butterfly

PEP TALKING hasn't finished outside the top two in any of his last four starts, most recently taking the silver medal home at Huntingdon, and he goes off an unchanged mark. Billy Aprahamian's seven-year-old drops in grade and could take full advantage. Pooroldmackley was well beaten in third at Newton Abbot last month, but is 1lb lower and may get closer. Stardhem looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Pep Talking 2nd Pooroldmackley 3rd Stardhem
