Race Preview
PINK LEGEND holds some leading claims for this fixture after taking a runner up spot at the Cheltenham Festival.
That was in the Mares’ Chase, a career-best effort from her.
Earlier this year Pink Legend won a chase at this level and should be one of the big players in this small field.
ZAMBELLA is the other clear threat in this fixture, who claimed fourth in the Mares’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
She has the pick of the form however for this campaign, having claimed three mares’ contests.
The first two of those were at the Listed level. Zambella has a good record at Perth.
DAPHNE MOON is the pick of the rest in what is a fairly weak field behind the big two in this Listed race.
The former hurdles winner did put in a nice effort for a fourth-place finish on her chase debut at Thurles on her penultimate run.
Excuses were to be had on a poor follow up and Daphne Moon should be better coming back up in distance.
Ones to watch: Pink Legend 5/6, Daphne Moon 12/1

Race Preview
GALIA DES LITEAUX has made a good start to her career over the hurdles, getting off the mark at the first time of asking at Wetherby in December.
She was last seen at Ascot in January, which wasn’t as good of a run as her hurdles debut was.
But a nice little break should see her come back stronger and Galia Des Litueax has room for improvement.
COMPLETE UNKNOWN took a Grade 3 novices’ win at Sandown on his latest run, so warrants some big respect for a top yard.
It’s been four runs over the hurdles for Complete Unknown with trainer Paul Nicholls and he has been in the top three in all but one of those.
Complete Unknown comes up on a trip, and he does look to have that in him, so he is a clear threat in this contest.
FAMOUS BRIDGE is another of the big contenders in this field after winning on just his second attempt at the hurdles.
That was in November at Ayr. He took full advantage of a favourable mark on his second handicap appearance.
Famous Bridge took a win at Kelso in March. He may have enough to move up in Grade with some ease.
Ones to watch: Famous Bridge 9/4, Galia Des LIteaux 5/1

COACH CARTER was a runner up on his latest effort, taking his form forward to rattle the crossbar at Aye.
He should be a big player in this small field. That was a good effort having been raised in Grade.
Coach Carter’s jumping form still needs work, but he should feature.
SAO was taken down by a rival at Ayr on his latest run, but is worth taking a look at to bounce back.
If there’s no fallout from that fall three weeks ago, Sao has the ability. He has shaped well in this season’s runs in defeat and may not be far away.
ARVICO BLEU rounds out the shortlist for this contest as he is unexposed for this yard.
He has won a couple of times over the fences in this campaign, the most recent of which was at Exter in November.
Arvico Belu has failed to complete the last twice but a clean round and he could get in it.
Ones to watch: Sao 9/2, Arvico Bleu 6/1

COREY’S COURAGE puts her unbeaten record on the line when she steps into midweek action.
There was a bumper win on her debut. This season she has taken to the hurdles so well, winning all three efforts.
The most recent of those was in a mares’ novice run at Doncaster in March. She has to warrant respect on her handicap debut.
DESARAY GIRL has done good work for her yard in this campaign, although she failed to complete a four-timer on her latest effort.
But she had been showing enough earlier this season before that, with her notable wins at Market Rasen and Sedgefield.
TIMETOROE scored an eye-catching win at Carlisle on her latest run, which was at Carlisle three weeks ago.
Timetoroe took a win in a mares’ handicap there, and it came after a break of seven months.
She took that by a wide margin and now receives an extra 6lb.
But she looks in the kind of form to go well again, as she is a good consistent sort.
Ones to watch: Corey’s Courage 5/2, Desaray Girl 10/1

CORAL was pulled up on his latest effort, with things not panning out for him on a follow up to a score at Worcester.
That win at Worcester was on his Chase debut, so can’t be dismissed. Coral returns from a break of six months and is interesting.
RED HAPPY may be the one to beat in his small field as he goes in search of a four-timer.
He comes from a yard that is in great form at the moment. Red Happy is under a 7lb penalty, but he has been scoring easily and is thriving right now.
MAGIC DANCER is the final one to get on the shortlist, and there has been a lot of consistent form by him this season.
There was a runner up spot earned by him at Newton Abbot on his latest run. That should give him something positive to positive about.
Ones to watch: Coral 4/1, Magic Dancer 5/1

14:40 Ludlow Handicap Chase Horse Racing Tip
Race Type: Class 3
Age: 5-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 3m
Race Preview
TRIXSTER has won two of his last four runs and he could be the one to beat. He will be under a 7lb penalty on Wednesday.
Trixster scored at Southwell by a massive 17l a week ago. That was just the second effort by him over the fences. There is clearly more to come.
BROKEN QUEST also brings winning form to the table as he got his form back on track 10 days ago.
Broken Quest scored at Wincanton comfortably. The former course winner at Ludlow will be under a 7lb penalty too and is respected.
VIVAS may be the pick of the rest of the runners. He is on a long winless streak but there have been credible efforts recently.
Vivas was last seen three weeks ago taking a place finish at Newbury in a handicap. He retains the same gear and fills the shortlist.
Ones to watch: Broken Quest 7/2, Vivas 11/4
