Jumps - Thursday 5th April

[Blazing Bailey]

Ludlow 450 - Material Boy 8/1 3pt Win Bet365 & Hoare Abbey 7/1 1pt Win bet365 Material Boy's form against some decent rivals when a promising third to Swing Bowler which makes him around 10lb well in on my ratings and he prefers the firmer surface and should appreciate the step up in trip. He is up against some unexposed rivals but for me he is by far the pick of the bunch and if I am right he should win doing cartwheels. Although just in case im not right :eek, I think Hoare Abbey also is a few pounds ahead of the handicapper and will have a decent chance now back on a better surface. Of the others I think Caminero is over rated with the form is his 3rd to Il De Re not doing to well & while Rowlestone Lad looks on a decent mark the trainer has previously said that 2m4f would stretch him (albeit on a softer surface) and that he would be aimed at handicaps up to 2m4f. This is only slightly further but im not sure how much this step up in trip will suit and I think the handicapper has overrated him slightly as well.

Re: Jumps - Thursday 5th April *Marescsou - Ludlow 3:50* Another French import from Venetia William's that has won a Grade 2 in Auteuil. Needed the run on its debut for the yard last time out and should strip a lot fitter tomorrow. Venetia's stable is in form, she had a gamble landed today. She has a great record in chase races at Ludlow, 21 wins from 115 runners resulting in a profit of +£34.63 to level stakes and this horse must be feared here. *1 Point WIN @ 13/2 Boylesports BOG*
