400 Ludlow-I do have a couple of reservations about Seas of Green but this horse tops my ratings and the price is just too big to ignore.
It never got going last season but returned to form last time out,on its second start this season.
That rating makes it very competitive here,if it can back it up.
It is 0/3 going right handed and has a higher mark to contend with but im happy to see what it can do with conditions ideal for it.
Tara Mist looks a danger although very soft ground is a question mark.
It returns after over a year off but that normally suits it(121 days+ 2w-1p-3r),is 2 from 3 at Ludlow and 2/2 in this grade.However,Its not quite a big enough price to get involved.
Toberdowney and Star Rider both make their handicap debuts and they head the market.
Both need to improve on what they`ve done so far but the market will tell their tale.
Back Seas Of Green 6pts at 9.0 at Betfair Sportsbook/Betway/Paddys-4th(-6pts)Tara Mist won.
