11/4
Had no chance with the 140 rated Kalooki over C&D last month but beat the others fair and square and that probably represented a slight step forward with the possibility of more to come.

8/1
Hit and miss on the Flat last summer having won twice in that sphere in 2018. Highly promising debut over hurdles at Newbury and may have found the heavy ground too much to handle when well below that form at Chepstow since. Can do better.
3
Horse silk
100/1
No sign of ability in two runs at huge prices three years apart and impossible to make a case for.
4
Horse silk
Fitzroyh37
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR:  126
5/1
Quickly back on track after a poor run at Wetherby when third at Taunton last time. May improve again over this longer trip and this looks a sensible target as his opening mark looks quite stiff.
5
Horse silk
King Erikt130
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling
16/1
Showed enough on bumper run after a win on sole point-to-point but bogged down on heavy ground on hurdles debut so could do with the ground continuing to dry out.
6
Horse silk
33/1
Showed a glimmer of ability in novice hurdle last summer but needs to find good deal of improvement on first run for Roger Teal to be of interest here.
7
Horse silk
Not A Nail84
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F NichollsWS
16/1
Has stopped very quickly in his last two runs and no surprise that he has had wind surgery since last seen in November. Hasn't had the opportunity to show what he can do but better can be expected now.
8
Horse silk
Polish29
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien
6/5
76 rated handicapper on the Flat who made an eye catching debut over hurdles last month when coming from a long way back to chase home a decent winner with the rest a long way behind. Normal improvement must see him go very close here.
9
Horse silk
18/1
Fair staying handicapper on the Flat but went backwards from hurdling debut when well beaten fourth over C&D last month ans something to prove after that run.
10
Horse silk
33/1
Showed a modicum of ability on debut but may have got bogged down in the bad ground at Lingfield and may have more to come but she needs it to play a part.
11
Horse silk
Cousin Rita235
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: David Bass| T: S Curran
100/1
Exposed as a very moderate performer in point-to-points and needs to show huge improvement on this debut Rules although new yard in fine form.
12
Horse silk
Dorton Girlt159
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: M G Rimell
100/1
Has shown nothing in two bumpers (outclassed latest) and heeds the switch to hurdles to transform here to have any chance.
13
Horse silk
66/1
Got off the mark in a point-to-point but may have been lucky to do so when just two finished and failed to build on that next time. Now hurdling and others make more appeal.
14
Horse silk
Memphis Bleek20
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: L Treadwell| T: A Ralph
33/1
Maiden who wasn't progressing when last seen on the Flat. Midfield on hurdling debut over 2m here and needs this step up in trip to bring about the required improvement.

16:45 Ludlow - 5 February 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

POLISH went in to many note books after his promising second at Taunton having made up plenty of ground and a repeat of that should see him go well with this longer not expected to trouble him. Fitzroy bounced back to form last time and rated the danger while Come On Teddy bumped into one here last time and appeals most of the remainder.
