Ludlow Race 1 - Bright Maize 'Introductory' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Compelling introductory hurdle with three quality horses taking part. The pick is TIPTOPTIM (2) who produced smart form in jumpers flats before a solid second in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter a month ago. Exciting prospect who could prove hard to beat. FRESHERS WEEK (1) managed to win a point to point before making a successful stable and rules debut at Market Rasen three weeks ago. Sure to improve again though is perhaps vulnerable under a penalty. HOPELESS DANCER (3) races without a win from three starts. Produced a good second in a jumpers flat nine days ago at Ffos Las. One to watch in the betting.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished second of 9 runners at Ffos Las on October 28 over 3200m, slow track; 2.75 len behind Barrow Hill Lad with 68kg at $6.50. The start before that; finished second of 7 starters at Warwick on October 1 over 3200m, 2.25 len behind Bathara with 68kg at $2.40. Continues to improve. No excuses today in this small field.
