Hello! Is anyone here familiar with Point-to-Point riders in the North Hertfordshire area and actively follows the local races?

Looking forward to Ludlow on Wednesday. Not just the  hunterchase but a wedding fair as well 😜 Gordon you are spoiling us. Given the drying conditions over the past couple of days and Ludlow's free drainage I suspect the ground will be good to soft with maybe the odd soft patch. Dry day on Wednesday so by last race it is likely to be quicker than official going. 5 declarations is a tad disappointing but never the less it is an intriguing little race with plenty of question marks. In fact any permutation of result is feasible. 1 Frere D' Arms Guess the big issue is the trip..?? Its always been campaigned as if it needed shorter. Ludlow isn't the stiffest track but with 4 to jump in the relatively short home straight you need a little bit left in the tank. Guess Heidi would like a tactical race with a bit of a sprint over the last half mile. 2 Enrillo Arguably the class act but its been a long time since it got its head in front. Never really fulfilled its promised but connections have doggedly kept the faith and...... second run since wind op! Small field hunter chase might just perk him up! 3 Jimmy the Digger Dour stayer who is at his best passing tiring horses up the hill at Cheltenham and not blessed with a great deal,of tactical speed. Everything Henry Dale runs at Ludlow tends to get backed so likely to be shorter odds than it should be. Jockey is a local lad who works for Henry so lucky to have such a genuine schoolmaster. Possibly the one to pick up any prices if the race falls apart. 4 Percussion Possibly the one likely to run closest to its mark and no issues with track or trip. Presumably owner will take over the ride at some point? 5  Missed Tee Has a lot to find on ratings and hasn't faced 3 miles for over 4 years. Still connections know what they are doing and have a great track record with ex Skelton horses. We've seen plenty of 150 horses turned over on their hunterchase debuts but my gut says that Enrillo has the class to win this with Percussion following him home. But as stated in the beginning I wouldn't be that  suprised if any of the 5 won this, let's hope they all stand their ground and give us some sort of betting market.

Local trainer Alan Hill reported that - as of Friday - the going is Good to Soft. At least one further update will follow next week in advance of entries closing. For full fixture information, click here

Having seen a number of high profile national sponsors move on to other things it’s good to see Izuzu coming on board. https://x.com/isuzuuk/status/1889338213233271019?s=46&t=ilTwEdYPgB8AgJcMTT9pMw

Think we are getting some good content on here now ( odd idiot excepted). Howver I am struggling with the layout and find it hard to find posts that are not the 3 most recent, Had to turn notifications off once the competition started as my in box became swamped. So not always able to see if someone has commented on a previous comment. Also haven't quite got my head around why some stuff goes into members private chit-chat and other stuff goes into general discussion? Given that I am arguably one of the more enthusiastic participants i cant help but feel that many casual visitors are missing some interesting stuff. Would have added this to the post of a few days ago but couldn't find it🤔

Interesting to hear peeps thoughts on this one. Personally I feel Jet Plane should win this but if the 6/5 - Evs is anticipated then I couldn't touch it with the Jock thats booked. The most feared are then all around 4/1 so not much each way value imo.
