Ludlow tonight

Couple of selections for tonight

I was going to put up Buck Mulligan in the morning. I backed him at 10/1 and then as I was about to post he'd shortened to 7/1. However he's currently available at 8/1 which seems fair value. 3 miles on good ground will be ideal and he came second off 129 last season. Looks reasonable off 130 and clearly in good form over hurdles.

7.40 Ludlow The Snail is a bit of a monkey but at 16/1 I can't resist. He won 5 on the bounce back in 09/10 and runs well at Ludlow. For some reason he was favourite when pulled up last time at Hereford over an inadequate trip where they'd have gone too quick for him. Racing off 115 he's won off 117 before and been placed time before last on 115. A few last time winners in this have chances but they're not 16/1!
