Ludlow Race 4 - Ludlow Brewing Company Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

There are three previous course winners in this field. ALMAZHAR GARDE (2) brings two course wins including over this distance. Seeks a hat-trick. Form is strong from his last victory with the third horse finding success since. Handles all ground and could be tough to beat. STRAW FAN JACK (1) previously won here tackling track and trip including last time during April. This is easier. Danger. HOLD YOUR FORT (4) is a Newton Abbot specialist with all five wins coming there. Disappointed in latest at that venue and needs to bounce back. ANOTHER DAY OUT (6) has three wins over the distance and one at this course. One to watch in the betting. Something for the Multiples: THE GYPSY DAVEY (5)

Useful gelding. Last start ran last in a small field at Fontwell Park on September 22 over 3900m, 10 len behind Midnight Jewel with 69.5kg at $5. The run before finished second in a small field at Stratford-On-Avon on August 18 over 4500m, 3.5 len behind Topgun Simmy with 64.5kg at $4.50. Gets a chance to win. Strong each-way hope.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign 7 of 13 starters at Cheltenham April 17 over 5100m, 32 len behind Minniemum with 68.5kg at $21. First up last campaign 5 of 10 starters at Market Rasen September 28 2024 over 4800m, 6 len behind Safe Destination carrying 76kg at $7. Can run a big race while fresh. Will be improved by the run and looks one of the hopes here.
