Will McCain chip in with a couple of winners today?
"Bunclody hasn't had many chances since joining this yard and could well take some catching if positively ridden over these easy fences."
David Cleary is focusing on a pair of Donald McCain's horses at Ludlow where the in-form trainer holds three entries
Ludlow and Taunton provide the action over jumps this afternoon, two sharp right-handed tracks where the ground is likely to be a fair bit livelier than many of the runners have been encountering of late.
That doesn't make for straightforward punting opportunities, and bets that make much appeal are again in rather short supply. The 16:30 at Ludlow is an exception.
Seven go to post and the 'obvious' one in the field is Themilanhorse. He's had just two starts over hurdles, has obvious potential to improve and his mark looks fair. His win came on good ground, so conditions are likely to be no problem. He'll run well but is priced accordingly, particularly as most against him have negatives to their name.
One that might be worth backing against him, however, is An Capall Mor. He has just one worthwhile run from four starts over hurdles, but the other three were on very testing ground. His one piece of form suggests he's well treated switched to handicaps, and his trainer Donald McCain is in tremendous form. It's worth backing An Capall Mor, perhaps also saving on Themilanhorse.
McCain might also have the answer to the novice chase at 15:00 in Bunclody. None of the likely principals has a particularly positive profile but Bunclody hasn't had many chances since joining this yard and could well take some catching if positively ridden over these easy fences, two of his main rivals held up usually and prone to mistakes.

Back An Capall Mor @ [8.0] in the 16.30 at Ludlow
