Ned Ludd is a total dud

14:55 Goodwood - Ned Ludd (Forecast 3.0)

Today's race is the 14:55 at Goodwood. It's a class 5 maiden over 1 mile 6 furlongs. Ned Ludd is forecast favourite, trained by J G Portman and ridden by Tom Queally.

Ned Ludd is still a maiden after 11 races on the flat. This is his first outing for 103 days and he is likely to need the run. He is vulnerable to a more progressive 3yo over a trip that is shorter than ideal.

The trainer has not had a winner since August and 10 of his last 12 runners have been unplaced and he only has a 3 % strike rate at Goodwood.

Lady Dedlock and Hesivorthedriver should both go well but I will be laying the cretin Ned Ludd.
