Horse racing tips TODAY: Horses you MUST back at Ludlow, Sedgefield and Chepstow | Racing | Sport

This impressive winner of his last two outings over hurdles can overcome his 9lb higher mark – gained from his recent success over today's course and distance last month.

Brianstorm, from the in-form Venetia Williams stable, cannot be overlooked on his first run after win surgery. He was a smart performer last season for Warren Greatrex and if he shows that form he will be the danger.

At Ludlow GORTROE JOE (3.00, nb) can add to last month's success at the Shropshire track by taking the Alfa Chase for brothers Dan and Harry Skelton.

This former smart hurdler was unfortunate not score on his penultimate run at the course when he was travelling well before falling at the 10th fence.

Barry Geraghty is an interesting booking for Allelu Alleluia. Admittedly, Geraghty is retained by the gelding's owner JP McManus but his presence at Ludlow suggests the eight-year-old is expected to go close.

He returns after a respectable run behind Present Man in the Badger Ales Chase at Wincanton in November.

SANDHURST LAD (4.00, treble) remains on a favourable mark – up 5lb for his success at Wincanton in February.

He beat Findusatgorcombe on that occasion and he has since enhanced that running by winning on his next outing when returning to Wincanton earlier in the month.
