BOBHOPEORNOHOPE (1.15) can star at Ludlow today by winning the Tanners Claret Handicap Chase over three miles.
Kim Bailey’s seven-year-old enjoyed the switch from hurdles to the bigger obstacles last season, winning at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. He then scored a six-length victory over course and distance in February, before being just held by a short head to Tide Times, once again over course and distance the following month.
After an eight-month layoff, he ran well when blowing the cobwebs off to finish third at Ascot last month, and he should be fit and ready to run another big race at what appears to be his favourite track.
