Lambourn: James Burn

Before Midnight (4.30 Doncaster, nap)

Smooth Bangor winner is well regarded and should be capable of defying a penalty.

Admiral's Secret (4.40 Ludlow, nap)

Ludlow 1.50 Awake At Midnight 2.25 Coastal Tiep 3.30 Captain Buck's 4.05 Cereal Killer

North: Colin Russell

Wicked Spice (2.50 Doncaster, nap)

Ran as though needing the run last time and considering he goes well at this course and is on a fair mark, he's fancied to fare much better this time.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Awake At Midnight (1.50 Ludlow, nap)

Has shaped well on both starts over hurdles to date, including over course and distance, and sets a decent standard.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Spider's Bite (4.05 Ludlow)

From a stable in form, he is expected to be suited by the step up to three miles and can break his duck over hurdles.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Killala Quay (3.20 Doncaster)

Landed this last year off 4lb higher, and looks to have every opportunity once again in an open race with ground to suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Call The Taxie (4.45 Punchestown)

Runner-up at Gowran Park on Saturday, the Ellmarie Holden-trained seven-year-old steps up half a mile in distance here. He won his maiden over the distance and can prove the pick with Rachael Blackmore on board.

Jamie Snowden's last four runners at Ludlow have finished 1171, a sequence which started in April 2017. He has Monbeg Theatre in the 5.10, who will be attempting to add another success.
