Southwell 3.25


M Appleby's runners have to be feared at Southwell and 

he has 2 of the 5 runners in the race. Weald Of Kent is 

seeking a hat-trick of course and distance wins. He has 

been raised 7lbs and is upped in class but should make 

a bold bid. Ralphy Lad runs for the G A Swinbank stable 

who have won 2 of the last 3 runnings of the race. He 

often races in a higher grade than today and is selected 

to go one better than his last 4 runs.

Ralphy Lad  i point win 3.5 (B.0.G)



Ludlow 3.40.


A tricky looking race where a case can be made out for 

most of the field. Top Wood ran a close 2nd in the Class 

2 Coral Welsh Grand National Trial over today's distance 

and is entered in a 26f race at the festival. Stamina is no 

problem here but he can be moody, but a repeat of that 

Chepstow run should see him going close here. An e-

way bet at 13/2 looks the order of play."

Top Wood 1/2 point eway 7.5  (B.O.G)
