Racing: Deliceo put up a career-best performance to win last time out and can follow that up with victory over the same course and distance at Ludlow today.
Matt Sheppard's 11-year-old is in great heart and will be hard to beat if he can repeat the form in the Attwood Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase.
Deliceo saw off the challenge of Fluff 'N' Puff by six lengths, bouncing back from a disappointing third at Hereford on his previous run. He sees out this two-and-a-half-mile trip well and is worth sticking with despite another hike up the ratings.
Benbecula can see off the Martin Pipe-trained newcomer Run Of Kings in the Bitterley Beginners' Chase. Paul Webber's runner was a reasonable performer over hurdles and has had just the two starts over the bigger obstacles so far.
He was pulled up on his first run but showed much improvement to finish third last time at Wincanton.
Benbecula was well held by the winner and second that day, but looked sure to come on.
At Carlisle, Grattan Lodge should get back on track with a victory in the Rockcliffe Novices' Chase. Howard Johnson's seven-year-old was a huge letdown last week when falling at Newcastle, but something was obviously amiss.
Kieren Fallon looks an interesting booking for Blonde En Blonde in the Littlewoods Bet Direct Handicap at Lingfield.
