π Trixie #1: The Consistency Play (Low-Risk, High Probability)
Selections:
1οΈβ£ Moon Chime (15:35 Ludlow - 2m Handicap Hurdle) β 3rd (6/4F) β
PLACE
2οΈβ£ Pike Road (14:30 Ludlow - 3m Maiden Hurdle) β Unplaced β
3οΈβ£ Regal Renaissance (15:05 Ludlow - 2m4f Handicap Chase) β 2nd (3/1JF) β
PLACE
π Performance Analysis:
Moon Chime (3rd, 6/4F) β Ran well but couldn't land the win. Showed promise but lacked the finishing kick.
Pike Road (Unplaced, 2.69) β A big disappointment. Expected to dominate weaker opposition but underperformed badly.
Regal Renaissance (2nd, 3/1JF) β A solid place effort, but couldnβt peg back Sacre Coeur (4/1), who won with ease.
β Verdict: Loss
Only 2/3 selections placed, meaning the Trixie lost overall.
Lesson: Overbet favourites in weak maiden hurdles (Pike Road) are a risk β need to scrutinise market movement more.
π Trixie #2: The All-Ways Patent (Higher-Risk, Value-Oriented)
Selections:
1οΈβ£ Game On For Glory (15:05 Ludlow - 2m4f Handicap Chase) β Unplaced β

3οΈβ£ Electric Jet (16:43 Ludlow - 2m Novices' Handicap Chase) β 2nd (10/3) β
PLACE
π Performance Analysis:
Game On For Glory (Unplaced, 5.5) β The unseat last time was a bad omen. Lacked fluency and never looked comfortable.
Supervisor (Unplaced, 6/1 - 10/1 range) β A rare Venetia Williams disappointment, failing to threaten at any stage.
Electric Jet (2nd, 10/3) β Ran well, just found one too good (Dunstall Rambler, 9/2).
β Verdict: Loss
Only 1/3 selections placed β The higher-risk Patent didnβt pay off.
Lesson: Chasers with previous jumping issues (Game On For Glory) should be approached with caution.

π Gamble Responsibly!
Notes from AJ the Hobbyist: I'm waiting until much closer to off time to see which 'obby Picks (dropping Hs since the dog chewed my denture) are drifters or steamers, based on Betfair odds at the time of publishing and updated Timeform data.
Key Reminders:
Parading: Look for calm, focused horses with a good walkβavoid those sweating excessively or agitated.
Going Down: Smooth, controlled canter = positive. Overly keen or reluctant = caution.
At the Post: Composed behaviour signals readiness; restlessness, rearing, or sweating could be negatives.
Odds Market Sentiment:
Steamers (shortening odds): Positive market confidence, but watch for overbet favourites.
Drifters (lengthening odds): Could signal trainer/jockey concernsβor just market overreaction, offering value.
Keep emotions outβtrust the data, the visuals, and the odds shifts. π―
Race-by-Race Predictions
π Race 1 - 14:00 Ludlow (2m Novicesβ Hurdle)
1οΈβ£ No Questions Asked
Trainer: Ben Pauling | Jockey: Ben Jones
Key Form: Highly consistent performer with a solid bumper background. Runner-up in a Listed novice at Huntingdon last time, confirming his class at this level. Prior wins at Hereford and Carlisle add further substance.
Why: By far the standout in this field, with a proven ability at this level and experience over hurdles. The market has him as a strong favourite, and rightly soβhe sets a clear standard. Expect a dominant performance.
2οΈβ£ John Barbour
Trainer: Fergal OβBrien | Jockey: J J Burke
Key Form: Impressive winner on bumper debut at Uttoxeter in November, but pulled too hard when fourth next time.
Why: If he settles and jumps fluently on hurdles debut, he has the engine to chase home the favourite. OβBrienβs yard is in good form, and his bumper experience suggests heβll handle this step up in discipline.
3οΈβ£ Tracking Treasure
Trainer: Matt Sheppard | Jockey: Stan Sheppard
Key Form: Best effort to date came when third over this C&D a fortnight ago. Though the form of that race isnβt particularly strong, it was a step in the right direction.
Why: Course experience is always a plus, and with minimal depth in the field, he looks best placed to pick up minor honours again.
π― Wildcard Pick: Welcheston Warrier
Trainer: Clive Boultbee-Brooks | Jockey: Richard Patrick
Key Form: Brought down last time when well beaten but showed minor promise at Worcester in October.
Why: A speculative selection for those seeking a big-priced each-way play. If he builds on that Worcester run and benefits from a clearer round, he could surprise a few.
π Race 2 - 14:30 Ludlow (3m Maiden Hurdle)
1οΈβ£ Pike Road
Trainer: Martin Keighley | Jockey: Sean Bowen
Key Form: Runner-up in a point and twice in maiden hurdles, before finishing a respectable fifth on handicap debut at Catterick over 3m1f. That was a fair effort, and this return to maiden company looks a golden opportunity.
Why: Heβs shown enough ability to suggest this is his race to lose, with proven stamina and a strong rider booking. Reunited with Sean Bowen, who knows him well, and back in the right grade, he can assert his authority.
2οΈβ£ Bold Recruit
Trainer: Billy Aprahamian | Jockey: Gavin Sheehan
Key Form: Placed in all four starts under Rules, including a promising third over 2m4f at Plumpton last time. Bred for staying trips, this extra distance should play to his strengths.
Why: A consistent type who always gives his running. He has the stamina profile for this and could make life tough for the favourite if he finds more for the step up in trip.
3οΈβ£ Doctor Midas
Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Jockey: Nico de Boinville
Key Form: Fifth in a Haydock bumper and again on hurdles debut at Warwick (2m5f, soft). Not a standout on form, but his powerful connections and a step up to 3m could unlock improvement.
Why: Hendersonβs runners always demand respect, especially over staying trips. His pedigree suggests this extra yardage will help, and heβs worth a close look.
π― Wildcard Pick: Keel Strand
Trainer: Paul Nicholls | Jockey: Harry Cobden
Key Form: Fourth on hurdles debut at Wincanton over 2m4f, having previously finished midfield in a Chepstow bumper. Needs a big leap forward, but connections suggest potential.
Why: A Paul Nicholls-trained runner stepping up in trip always warrants a second look. If he progresses with experience, he could outrun his odds and sneak a place.
π Race 3 - 15:05 Ludlow (2m4f Handicap Chase)
1οΈβ£ Regal Renaissance
Trainer: Henry Daly | Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Key Form: Won a Warwick handicap chase in November and ran well in a competitive Cheltenham race next time. Forgivable run at Fakenham last time, but generally consistent.
Why: A solid, reliable mare who can be expected to bounce back. Handles this trip well and is suited to the conditions. A strong chance in an open race.
2οΈβ£ Sacre Coeur
Trainer: Dan Skelton | Jockey: Harry Atkins
Key Form: Three-time chase winner, most recently making all at Plumpton in November. Placed at Uttoxeter last time over a shorter trip.
Why: Has the ability to dominate from the front and is fully effective at this trip. If given a soft lead, she could prove tough to pass.
3οΈβ£ Current Mood
Trainer: Evan Williams | Jockey: Adam Wedge
Key Form: Won over 3m at Ludlow in October and has run well in defeat in subsequent starts. First-time cheekpieces applied.
Why: A solid performer at this track, with form in the book that gives her a big chance. If the cheekpieces help sharpen her up, sheβs a major contender.
π― Wildcard Pick: Ostrava Du Berlais
Trainer: Venetia Williams | Jockey: Charlie Deutsch
Key Form: Started well over fences, winning at Ludlow and Taunton before struggling in tougher company.
Why: If she recaptures her early-season form, she could surprise. Worth chancing for a place at a decent price.
π Race 4 - 15:35 Ludlow (2m Handicap Hurdle)
1οΈβ£ Moon Chime
Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Jockey: Tom Cannon
Key Form: Progressive hurdler with two wins last season. Shaped well on return at Carlisle and has undergone a breathing operation since.
Why: Has a touch of class at this level and should be sharper after the break. The breathing op could unlock more improvement, making him the one to beat.
2οΈβ£ The Hardest Geezer
Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Jockey: Sean Houlihan
Key Form: Won at Taunton last time in novice company and now steps into handicaps. Clearly improving and has potential off this mark.
Why: Lightly raced and unexposed in handicaps. If he progresses again, he could give the favourite plenty to think about.
3οΈβ£ Chief Sunday
Trainer: Nigel Twiston-Davies | Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Key Form: Two wins from his last two starts, including a hard-fought Hereford victory. Up 4lb but still in good form.
Why: A progressive type who has proven himself in handicaps. A hat-trick is possible if he continues his upward trajectory.
π― Wildcard Pick: Leloopa
Trainer: Fergal OβBrien | Jockey: Tom Broughton
Key Form: Made all to win maresβ hurdles at Hereford and Huntingdon before a break. Debuting in handicaps here.
Why: Improving steadily and could be underestimated. If she gets an easy lead, she could take some catching.
π Race 5 - 16:10 Ludlow (3m Handicap Chase)
1οΈβ£ Win Selection: Kelce
Trainer: Neil Mulholland | Jockey: Miss Gina Andrews
Key Form: Made a big leap forward over fences, impressively winning a 3m Market Rasen handicap in December. Looked set for second before an unfortunate fall at the last next time out. Market support suggests strong confidence.
Why: Kelce has proven ability over this distance, and the cheekpieces have unlocked further improvement. Heβs been consistently progressive, and despite the fall last time, he was traveling well. Miss Gina Andrews is a solid jockey booking in amateur races, and this lightly raced 7-year-old has more to offer.
2οΈβ£ 2nd Place: Ballycamus
Trainer: Nigel Twiston-Davies | Jockey: Mr Toby McCain-Mitchell
Key Form: Won a 3m Windsor handicap chase in December before a disappointing pulled-up effort last time. Back in a smaller field today, which suits him better.
Why: Ballycamus is generally reliable, and the previous win at this trip suggests he has the stamina to be competitive. With his jockey boasting a good strike rate in chases, expect him to bounce back with a strong showing.
3οΈβ£ 3rd Place: Supervisor
Trainer: Venetia Williams | Jockey: Miss Lucy Turner
Key Form: C&D winner last season, ran well on reappearance at Warwick (2nd of 4) before unseating early last time.
Why: Supervisorβs experience over course and distance is a plus, and he remains a consistent performer when completing. The unseat last time was unfortunate rather than a reflection of ability. Venetia Williams' runners often excel in soft/heavy conditions, and if he gets into a rhythm, heβll be a danger late on.
π― Wildcard Pick: Champagne Mystery
Trainer: Tom George | Jockey: Mr Tommie M O'Brien
Key Form: French import, lightly raced in Britain in recent years but has the ability on his day.
Why: Hard to gauge his exact level, but he returns from a spell in France on a potentially lenient mark. If he rediscovers his old form, he could spring a surprise, especially in an amateur race where experience can count.
π Race 6 - 16:43 Ludlow (2m Novices' Handicap Chase)
1οΈβ£ Win Selection: Electric Jet
Trainer: Charlie Longsdon | Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Key Form: Shaped well on chase debut at Southwell (5th of 13) and has shown promise over hurdles. Likely to improve now switched to fences.
Why: Electric Jet is lightly raced with potential, and his point-to-point background suggests he will relish chasing. Southwellβs form looks solid, and a break should have freshened him up. With Sam Twiston-Davies in the saddle, heβs expected to go close.
2οΈβ£ 2nd Place: Glimpse Of Glory
Trainer: Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill | Jockey: Sean Bowen
Key Form: Fair maiden hurdler, placed in soft-ground handicaps. Switches to fences with blinkers added.
Why: Sean Bowen is a positive booking, and blinkers could sharpen him up on chase debut. Heβs been running in competitive hurdle races and should be suited by conditions. If he takes to fences, heβll be right in contention.
3οΈβ£ 3rd Place: Dunstall Rambler
Trainer: Tom George | Jockey: Jonathan Burke
Key Form: Broke his maiden in style at Wincanton in December, showing good speed and jumping fluency.
Why: He won with plenty in hand at Wincanton, so even with a 5lb rise, heβs still competitive. The slight concern is whether he can back that up in a deeper field, but he has a solid chance if repeating that form.
π― Wildcard Pick: Hazard Collonges
Trainer: Gary Hanmer | Jockey: James Davies
Key Form: Still a maiden but has been knocking on the door, with two runner-up finishes in last four starts.
Why: His consistency makes him a potential each-way play. He runs off a 3lb lower mark than his last effort and could hit the frame if the race falls apart for the market leaders.
π Race 7 - 17:13 Ludlow (2m5f Handicap Hurdle)
1οΈβ£ Win Selection: Super Sabre Sam
Trainer: Neil Mulholland | Jockey: Brendan Powell
Key Form: Impressed when winning a 19f Fontwell maiden in October and ran a solid third at Windsor last time, suggesting a step up in trip would suit.
Why: Super Sabre Sam has been progressing nicely and shaped as if further would bring more improvement. This stiffer test is exactly what he needs, and with Brendan Powell maintaining the ride, he looks the one to beat off an unchanged mark.
2οΈβ£ 2nd Place: Whatsupwithyou
Trainer: Ben Pauling | Jockey: Elliott England
Key Form: C&D winner who ran a solid third at Southwell last time in first-time headgear. Runs off a reduced mark and represents an in-form stable.
Why: He has course form and has been competitive off higher marks in the past. The drop in the weights makes him dangerous, and if he builds on his latest run, heβll be right in the mix.
3οΈβ£ 3rd Place: Midnight Ginger
Trainer: Andrew Martin | Jockey: Jay Tidball
Key Form: Consistent type who was fourth at Chepstow on heavy ground last time and has a previous chase win on his record.
Why: Stays well and should be suited by conditions. While not the strongest contender for the win, his solid form means heβs likely to be thereabouts, especially in a competitive but open race.
π― Wildcard Pick: Saunton Surf
Trainer: Warren Greatrex | Jockey: Daire Davis
Key Form: Was running well when falling at the last at Ffos Las last time. Prior to that, finished runner-up over 2m7f at Lingfield.
Why: Lightly raced and still improving. If he recovers from that unlucky fall, he could outrun his odds and put in a bold show, particularly as stamina isnβt a concern.
