Hi all,
Zylan (11/4) enhanced his excellent record at Southwell with another win at the venue on Wednesday. Today’s two selections are from Ludlow & Market Rasen.
Ludlow
2:55 – Legends Gold – 5/1 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – The top weight won a good ground mare’s only novice hurdle over 2m 5 ½ f two starts back before disappointing in a handicap at Cheltenham 61-days ago. Off since that run which suggests she wasn’t right at Cheltenham. Maybe be better on a sounder surface but did win on soft at Bangor in the autumn. Ben Jones takes of a valuable 5lb and the selection should appreciate racing back against her own sex. Has strong claims if her stamina holds out over today’s 3m trip.
Market Rasen
2:10 – Just Don’t Ask – 4/1 @ William Hill – Won on his second start over fences at Wetherby 12 months ago. The 8-year-old has run with credit on all three of his starts this season without winning, putting in arguably his best effort when a close-up third to Espoir De Guye at Exeter two starts back. Brian Hughes who has ridden the gelding to all three of his wins under rules returns to the saddle for the first time this season. Remains capable of winning a handicap chase like this.
Cheers
John
