Verdict

Abusson and Marble Moon have the distinct advantage of 'track-craft' as previous Ludlow winners, although with both horses known for dictating matters from the front-end that could cause some difficulties come the finish. Philip Hobbs is doubly represented with Rolling Dylan and Diplomate Sivola with the former reverting to more conventional obstacles having competed over the Cross Country fences at Cheltenham. However, there's more than a fair chance that the Nicky Henderson-trained DRAGON D'ESTRUVAL is a cut above this level of opponent and as a result he's fancied to strike in first-time cheekpieces.
