UK & Clonmel Thursday

Steckenpferd wrote: R3 Taunton Ballyknock Lad (win or E/W). Ran well when second on chasing debut at Chepstow last time (only beaten a length) and should come on for the run. This doesn't look quite as strong and he can go well at around 9/2.

R3 Ludlow Always Lion (win or E/W). Good bumper horse who ran well when second on hurdling debut (winner has won again since and the field was well strung out behind). Should be able to build on that and can go well here at a very attractive 5/1.

Is returning from a break, but is exceptionally well handicapped on some of his recent form and has a very capable amateur on board. Assuming he is fit to do himself justice on his seasonal debut, he will take a lot of beating against this opposition. 3/1 or bigger is a very good price.
