Ludlow Race 1 - Ludlow Brewing Company Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
PERCY SHELLEY (1) was a three time winner on the flat when trained in France. Disappointing for trainer David O'Meara however consistent now representing James Owen. Finished second previous five starts attempting the level. Improved winning by 4.5L hurdle debut at Uttoxeter three-weeks-ago. Could take plenty of beating despite conceding weight to his rival. MALDINI MILANO (2) represents fourteen time champion trainer Paul Nicholls. Won debuting at Exeter and delivered two poor runs since. Solid hurdle debutante at Newton Abbot last time but needs further improvement to challenge. Might prove capable enough to do so.
Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Weight: 73kgs

Recent form hard to fault. Last to post a big 4.5 len win. Uttoxeter on September 16 over 4000m defeating Thoughtsarethings carrying 72kg at $2.50 in a hurdle. Before that held ground to the line finished second of 8 starters at Chester on August 30 over 3200m, 0.5 len behind It's All About You carrying 61kg at $4.20. Gets a chance to win. Plenty to like about his prospects.
