Ludlow Race 5 - Join 'Windsor Blue' Race Club Mares' Handicap Hurdle

ASCENDING LARK (2) First up from a break of 38 weeks. Got the cash when winning by 2 1/4L last start in a hurdle at Huntingdon and promising career start. Respect in this company. ROARING HOME (4) Finished 4th last time in a hurdle at Kelso. Has the potential to improve sharply but coming back in distance. Jockey David Bass and trainer Henry Daly link well together. Good chance of threatening these. HARD AS NAILS (3) Ran 4th last time in a hurdle at Sandown. Can show a better performance this time but back to a shorter trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Genuine winning chance. IRONED OUT (5) Racing on a quick back up. Was eating up the ground late to win last run in a hurdle at Taunton and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should go close
