Verdict

Even with the defection of Dundrum Wood, this race is potentially the most interesting on today's Ludlow card and features last year's winner Muthabir. The admirably tough Carrolls Milan shouldn't be dismissed lightly while the improving Bhutan was arguably a shade unfortunate not to double-up (rider dropped his whip) at Catterick. Nevertheless, a most confident shout goes up for the David Maxwell owned and ridden top-weight DOLPHIN SQUARE. He took the scalp of the progressive Kiltealy Briggs (Jamie Snowden) at Wincanton before staying on in a pleasing fashion on handicap debut at Newbury (3m, Class 2). He looks to be attractively handicapped off a mark of 132.
