Andrew heads to the jumps meetings at Ludlow and Newbury for his two recommended bets/trades on Thursday, November 7th.

LUDLOW 12.40

SCHOOL DAYS OVER didn’t cover himself in glory at Chepstow last time, pulling up after a mistake four out when sent off at single-figure outs for a 13-runner handicap chase. However, Fergal O’Brien’s seven-year-old had to be checked by the vet pre-race after colliding with a running rail and that effort looks safe to ignore. The return to hurdles will suit, as will the return to a right-handed track – both his wins have come when racing in this direction – and he scored at Hereford in the corresponding week last year. Buy in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back SCHOOL DAZE OVER in Ludlow 12.40

NEWBURY 3.27

It’s possible that TWIN JETS will take a step forward from his reappearance 9-2 fifth (beaten by 30 lengths) at Chepstow but his jumping still gives cause for concern – he fenced abysmally over Doncaster’s easy obstacles when beaten by a similar margin at odds of 1-2 on his final outing last term – and Paul Nicholls’ seven-year-old doesn’t fit the stats for this race (it usually goes to a seasonal debutant). At the time of writing the topweight was vying for favouritism and he looks worth selling in the Spreadex 50-25-10 market. Fixed odds punters might want to side with the reappearing I’D LIKE TO KNOW, who has a win and a short head second to his name from two runs at today’s venue/

Recommendation: Oppose TWIN JETS in Newbury 3.27

Please note that the picks recommended in this blog post are based on past performance and should not be considered a guarantee for future winning outcomes, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
