The Midwife is my top pick for the 12:28 at Ludlow. This horse has proven its ability in this class and is a proven performer on this going. The recent run has ensured fitness, and the jockey, with a 33% winning strike rate on this horse, is clearly a good fit. With this being the jockey’s only ride today, they are sure to be focused. The combination of trainer and jockey has a strong record at this course, adding further confidence to The Midwife’s chances.
Hill Station, my top pick for the 14:55 at Lingfield, looks well-placed to deliver a strong performance. The five-year-old gelding has recently returned to action, ensuring he’s primed for this contest. His proven ability on the all-weather surface and previous success over course and distance are significant advantages. Furthermore, the softer ground conditions will be ideal for him, and dropping into a lower-grade race should provide a boost. With a talented jockey claiming a valuable weight allowance and a strong record at the track, Hill Station has all the ingredients to be a major player.
Service Minimum is my top pick for the 15:42 race at Ludlow. This filly, sired by Doctor Dino, is bred to excel on this type of going and has the pedigree to thrive at this age, track, distance, and ground conditions. 2 Her trainer, Dan Skelton, has a strong record with horses of this type, and the claiming jockey adds further appeal. With several tipsters highlighting her chances, Service Minimum looks well-placed to deliver a strong performance.
Bohemian Breeze is my top pick for the 19:40 race at Kempton. This four-year-old gelding has recently proven his fitness with a solid run at Lingfield, and his prior performances indicate he thrives on this track’s surface. Furthermore, his experience competing at this level suggests he’s well-equipped to handle the challenge. With a jockey known for their success at Kempton, Bohemian Breeze appears well-positioned for a strong showing.
ge a compelling contender for victory.
