AI Top 3 Picks
Briery Butterfly
J: Sam Twiston-Davies ยท T: H D Daly
Briery Butterfly boasts consistent form in Class 5 hurdles, including placings at Ludlow over a similar trip. Despite a recent fall, prior performances were solid, and connections are in good form.
Slack Alice
J: S Bowen ยท T: M Bowen
Slack Alice showed significant improvement last time out, finishing 3rd at this course and distance. The horse appears progressive and could build on that effort with in-form connections.
Churchman
J: Jack Hogan ยท T: A Ralph
Churchman arrives in good form with recent placings and is unexposed at this extended trip. While a maiden, the horse's consistency and potential for improvement make it a strong place contender.
