10/3
Irish import who struck at the third time of asking for new connections when making all in 2m Catterick handicap chase in February. Didn't do much wrong when hitting the crossbar at Plumpton (17f, good) last time and should make his presence felt.

Fair maiden over hurdles (twice placed during 2021/22) who had yet to be asked for his effort when taking a heavy fall 3 out on third start over fences (and first following a wind op) at Plumpton (17f, good). Needs to raise his game a touch.

9/4
Confirmed the promise of his chase debut at the second attempt when winning 6-runner Taunton handicap at the end of March. Followed up at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) and a further 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks.

4/1
Didn't show much over hurdles but has won twice and placed on 3 occasions from 5 completed starts in this sphere. Probably flattered by proximity to the winner when runner-up at Taunton (21.7f, good to soft) last time but drop back in trip/quicker ground here are potentially positive factors.

10/1
Quickly off the mark over jumps for new yard in Taunton handicap chase in December, albeit rather fortunate. Added to what is best described as a patchy record when pulled up at Fontwell last time, though, and others make more appeal.

Opened account in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham off 2 lb higher last May but safely held both completed starts since, the latest at Plumpton in September (subsequent to which he has had another wind op).

Fairly useful on the Flat but has so far failed to land a meaningful blow over hurdles and was pulled up on recent debut in this sphere at Stratford.

Belatedly opened Rules account when landing a 2m Huntingdon handicap chase last summer. Placed on 3 of his 5 subsequent starts and not without each-way hope.

Dual hurdles winner but failed to progress over fences for Phil Middleton. Well held all 3 starts back hurdling upon joining this yard last spring and opposable returned to the larger obstacles following 11 months off (has undergone a wind op).

Forecasts

Flash Gorcombe (9/4), Elmount (10/3), Miladygrace (4/1), Extraordinary Man (13/2), Letsbe Avenue (10/1), Alghazaal (11/1), Johnny Mac (14/1), Arbennig (16/1), Estate Italiana (16/1), Begoodtoyourself (25/1), Mawlood (50/1)

19:30 Ludlow - 9 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The hat-trick beckons for FLASH GORCOMBE, who is clearly going the right way over fences and a 6 lb rise for his latest success at Wincanton doesn't look at all prohibitive. Elmount is second choice ahead of Miladygrace.
