Haydock - Wednesday 4th December 2024

 After a frustrating start to the week we move onto hump day. Ludlow's card is trappy and doesn't look particularly appealing from a punting view and Haydock although more competitive, will be run on heavy ground. I'll focus in on the Veteran's Chase there.

Cloudy Glen 2/1

We all love these races and it will good to see The Two Amigo's back in action after 627 days off the track. The whole field will be having their seasonal debuts apart from Good Boy Bobby who is finding winning a bit tough these days. Empire Steel is well respected and could go close but he's off 12 stone on heavy ground. Preference is for Cloudy Glen. Venetia Williams has 3 runners at Ludlow but Charlie Deutsch comes here for this ride and I expect it will be a telling one. The stable has had their horses in fine fettle and Cloudy Glen is now 4 pounds lower than when 2nd at Cheltenham on his seasonal debut last year.
