Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Gold Chain(4.10 Ludlow, nap)

Not disgraced behind a couple of progressive rivals at Doncaster last week and, with her rider claiming a handy 10lb, can repeat last month's course-and-distance success in a similar race.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Mr Minerals (6.15 Newcastle)

Finished an encouraging third on his first run for Alexandra Dunn at Wolverhampton a week ago and a similar effort could put him in the mix.

Longshot: Sam Hardy

Soldier Of Love (3.10 Taunton)

Fergal O'Brien's gelding should find things easier as he runs in handicap company for the first time having been placed his last three runs over shorter trips.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Reine Fee (2.50 Clonmel)

Shane Crawley has sent out four winners in the past two months and he can add to his score with this six-year-old, who produced her best effort on her most recent start when runner-up at Down Royal last month. Raised only 3lb for that effort, she can score under Donagh Meyler.

Only three five-year-olds have lined up in the last four runnings of the Albert And Joe Camden Memorial Mares' Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow (4.10), but two of them won at odds of 5-1 and 20-1. Legends Gold is the sole runner from that age group in the line-up.
