15:05 Ludlow Mares’ Handicap Chase Analysis – 19 February 2025

·

A Class 3 Handicap Chase over 2m4f11y on Good-to-Soft going (Soft in places)…

Analysis:

The TimeWise Master Ratings and profile assessments align well, with Regal Renaissance emerging as the strongest contender. She tops the TimeWise ratings (290.7) and brings solid recent form, including a win at Warwick over 2m4f on similar going. Her profile highlights consistent performances in Class 3-4 chases, strong course suitability (placed twice at Ludlow), and a reliable jockey partnership with Sam Twiston-Davies. Her versatility in varying race conditions and proven stamina make her a leading candidate.

Game On For Glory (290.2) is narrowly behind and has performed well in mares’ chases, with strong ratings for stamina and trainer form. She won over 2m4f at Leicester recently but unseated last time out, which raises slight concerns.

Ostrava Du Berlais (258.5) offers strong value. She has two chase wins from five runs, both on similar going, and a solid partnership with Charlie Deutsch. Her profile highlights steady improvement, stamina over 2m4f-2m5f, and Venetia Williams’ strong record at Ludlow. Her speed figures and track suitability make her a viable contender.

Sacre Coeur (258.2) has been consistent in Class 3 handicaps and benefits from a 7lb claim by Harry Atkins. However, her jumping can be inconsistent, which raises slight concerns despite her high TimeWise rating.

Conclusion:

  • Strongest Contender: Regal Renaissance – top-rated, proven stamina, reliable jockey, and consistent Class 3 chase form.
  • Value Pick: Ostrava Du Berlais – improving chaser with strong course suitability, trainer form, and potential to exceed market odds.
