Ludlow Placepot tips: Dave Randall with his selections for the Shropshire venue

Four of the last five winners of Ludlow's opening juvenile maiden hurdle (1.00) were hurdling debutants.

One such scorer, The Statesman in 2017, was trained by Ian Williams, and his new recruit Saint Riquier has the most enticing profile from the newcomers to this sphere this time around.

Seven go to post for the mares' handicap hurdle (1.30) and the two JP McManus-owned horses, Litterale Ci and Gavrocheka, are fairly treated under conditions which should suit.

Undersupervision, representing Nigel Twiston-Davies on his debut over regulation fences, won an Irish point on his debut last October. Add him to the Alan King-trained course winner Outonpatrol in the small-field staying handicap chase (2.05).

The most likely winner of the four-runner novice hurdle (2.40) is Canford Light, but Fitzroy and Serious Mood are added for ballast.

Torn And Frayed, Golden Taipan and Rapid Flight may be required to negotiate the tricky novice handicap chase (3.15).

Horses aged seven or older have a poor record in the conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle (3.50) that concludes the perm, so include the four and five-year-olds Dutch Admiral and Getalead from the foot of the weights.
