Tour d'Argent - 14:10 Ludlow
Tour d'Argent's jumping was far from foot perfect when third over this C&D after a lay-off in March, but he has fallen a long way in the weights and is likely to take some stopping if building on that. Sublime Talent is feared most.
Kilbree Kid - 14:40 Ludlow
Kilbree Kid was placed three times off higher marks in staying handicaps after breaking his chasing duck at Market Rasen last summer. He has gone well fresh in the past and is marginally preferred to Guiding George and Benevolent, who cross swords again having fought out a good duel at Fakenham last month.
Queen Spud - 15:10 Ludlow
Queen Spud ought to get away with three miles under these conditions, and ended 2014 with a couple of sound efforts, so can make a successful return to action in a race lacking depth. Jimmy The Jetplane is fit and in form having been kept busy of late, so rates the obvious threat.
