Broken Quest (5/4), Hugos Other Horse (11/4), Colonel Manderson (15/2), Dell' Arca (11/1), Ridgeway Flyer (12/1), Fraternel (12/1), Flowing Cadenza (20/1), Premier D'troice (28/1), Jefferson Davis (150/1)

Verdict

BROKEN QUEST made a winning start for Tom Symonds at Ludlow and, with Kevin Brogan taking 7 lb off, he looks well capable of going in, even in a more competitive affair. Dell' Arca is also appealing down in grade and Colonel Manderson strikes as a fascinating handicap debutant.
