440 Towcester-Carli King is a better horse going right handed(2w-1p-5r),so its below par run last time at Haydock(L/H) can be excused.A repeat of its run the time before would see it going very close here.Its 2 runs over this trip have seen it finish 2nd and 1st and it finished a decent 2nd on its only run at this track.

The trainer has put a 7Ib claimer on,who I dont know a lot about but he is 2 wins from 11 starts over fences in his career.

Riddlestown is the obvious danger.It won for us last time and should run its race but it matched its career best last time and will need to do so again at the very least to follow up.

Croco Mister has chances on the figures but is 0w-1p-7r in this grade.

Back Carli King 7pts at 8.0 at Bet365-6th(-7pts)Really well backed and went off 3.5 favourite.Just didnt jump well enough and couldnt go with them.

Accept 7.0

4.0 Ludlow-This is a good little race but Great Value will hopefully live up to its name.Its only had 4 runs over fences and looks to be improving.

It ended up winning in good style last time despite some sloppy jumps and ive got it near the front of the market on my prices.

Highway Code is pretty consistent but is 0w-0p-3r at this track and that has to be a concern.

The danger is Divine Intavention,who drops in class and has finished 1st and 2nd on its 2 starts here.

Gardefort has it to prove on the ground but Cayman Islands could get involved if it improves for the step up in trip.

Back Great Value 7pts at 7.0 at Bet365/Betbright-Fell(-7pts)Really weak in the market and took an absolutely horrendous fall at the 3rd.

Accept 5.5

530 Ludlow-The race probably revolves around the Nicky Henderson trained Speedy Tunes,who makes its handicap debut.It more than likely capable of better but the market has got its price tight enough.

The clear value has to be Mini Muck,whos a better horse on better ground and will like this drop in trip.This is also a drop in class into a grade where its 3 wins from 4 starts and hails from an in form yard.

Hold Court is the other that catches the eye as its 3 from 4 here.It was well beaten last time out at this track however.It might run better back on better ground but its possible its not the horse it was and its short enough given its recent form.

Back Mini Muck 7pts at 8.0 at bet365/Boyles-4th(-7pts)Made a mistake in the back straight abd was just allowed to lose its place before staying on again in the straight.This horse on the ratings should have been right there alongside the other 2 horses mentioned above,in the finish.Poor Day!(DT-21pts)
