11/4
Unplaced completed starts in Irish points but showed fair form when making the frame on both bumper outings last summer and well prepared to make a successful hurdles debut at Southwell last month. Tongue tie now on and there should be more to come.

10/11
Fairly useful chaser who isn't quite as good over hurdles but he soes arrive on the back of a brace of placed efforts over the smaller obstacles at this venue. That sets the standard.

Forecasts

Guy (10/11), Soldat Forte (11/4), Great Heart'Jac (10/3), By Pass (14/1), Captain Attridge (33/1), Pavlodar (33/1), Imperial Admiral (66/1), Hay Up Harry (150/1), Alright Chap (200/1), Haafbourd (250/1)

14:35 Ludlow - 14 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SOLDAT FORTE displayed a willing attitude when making a successful hurdles debut at Southwell a month ago and while conceding weight to the likes of Guy and Great Heart'jac asks more of him, he may well be up to the task.
