Ludlow Race 3 - Vera Davies Memorial Handicap Hurdle
CRAC DE MEGAUDAIS (2) caught the eye New Years Day scoring by 12L in this handicap hurdle grade over 4000m at Fakenham. Can continue the progress. Big chance. ELUSIVENESS (3) showed best form a week ago delivering a 3L success in a 4800m mares handicap hurdle at Taunton. Main danger. EL RAYO (1) arrives unexposed following a fair fifth attempting a 4100m maiden hurdle at Market Rasen. Looks one to note. Previous course winner NO WORRIES (4) might feature. Something for the Multiples: TELLAIRSUE (5)

When resuming last campaign finished fifth of 10 runners at Bangor-On-Dee on September 6 over 3900m, 18 len behind Hawaii Du Mestivel carrying 66kg at $13.

Resuming after five months. Finished off last preparation 7 of 9 starters at Market Rasen November 14 over 4600m, 39 len behind Happy Index carrying 69kg at $9. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 6 len win. Huntingdon October 8 over 3900m defeating Vivid Pink with 62kg at $9. Should be prominent.

Third-up today. Resuming finished fourth of 12 runners at Uttoxeter on December 20 over 4000m, slow track; 16 len behind Henrysbrotherjack carrying 65kg at $51. Second run from a spell pulled up at Southwell on February 3 over 4860m. Hard to recommend this time.
