Ludlow Race 1 - Tanners Cava Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
UN SENS A LA VIE (1) made it two from four under Sam Twiston-Davies with a ready 7.5L maiden hurdle victory on Market Rasen reappearance. In the money as 3L runner-up in a similar contest at Kempton latest. Strong chance. BRAS D'OR (2) finished fifth of fourteen on seasonal and hurdling debut at Cheltenham last month. Improvement anticipated. Key player second-up. UNKNOWN ENTITY (11) has not been seen since placing on hurdles bow at Tramore in January. Now with the Dan Skelton stable. Respected. CASPARI (4) is a Cracksman gelding from Earth Amber on first outing for Nicky Henderson. Worth a market check.
