It hasn't been a bad week thus far for the runners mentioned in my previews. Looking forward to tomorrow I wondered about Corran Ard in the 4.30 at Ludlow. Trainer Evan Williams does well at the Shropshire track and the horse had some good form over hurdles ...

Day 3 I will ignore the races being rerun from Day 2 as these were previewed in last night’s bulletin. One thing I would say is to take account of any changes to the going when making your selections. 1.40 Jewson Novices' ...
