After yesterday's experience with the novice chasers I'm a touch shy of plunging in again. Still, here goes!
The 2:10 Ludlow is a likeable shape, not least because old friend Harringay is favourite. Now 0-8 in chases, though to be fair was travelling well last time, when O'Regan failed to count to three. Earth Man opposes but isn't one to have a lot of faith in. That leaves Menchikov. Henderson's been on fire with his virgin novices off a long break, and even yesterday's faller was going well at the time. Menchikov is rated way higher than Earth Man over hurdles, and 15/8 looks a decent price in a three horse race with two I don't like.
The 2:55 Carlisle looks a penalty kick for Circassian, and I'm surprised (and a little worried) that he's not odds on.
Let's combine for the challenge so that we profit if one wins.
£500 Challenge
Menchikov £8 win at 15/8 (7/4 OK)
Circassian £12 win at 11/10 (Evens OK)
That'll have to do - Menchikov may have been a little lucky - and Circassian hated track and ground - seemingly as expected.
