Ludlow Race 1 - Nightjar Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

French hurdle winner MISTER CESSNA (4) was a good second over course and distance prior to a downfield result attempting the 3300m Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. This is easier. Top selection set for a return to form. BOND BROKER (1) bids for a four-timer following an impressive 15L success tackling 3400m at Sedgefield in this grade. Main danger. FARHH ECHO (6) ran well last November when 3L fourth in a 3200m jumpers flat race at this venue. Improvement expected. AN BUACHAILL RUA (2) rates next best.

Second-up today. Not raced for 60 days. Fresh up after three months won by 15 len Dungarvan P2p on February 1 over 4800m slow track defeating Boise Idaho carrying 61kg in a jumps. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Lisronagh P2p on November 2 over 4800m. Looks a chance with added fitness.

Resuming after a break; only had one start last when he was finished fourth in a small field at Hereford on November 12 over 3200m, 60 len behind D'jo Dela Barriere with 70kg at $11. May need more time and would prefer to see something first.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign didn't finish the race at Chepstow on January 28 over 3200m. First up last campaign finished sixth of 11 runners at Leicester on October 28 over 2400m, on a wet track; 27 len behind Cresta Cat with 70kg at $21. Might find this a bit too tough.
