Verdict
Barrison makes a quick reappearance on the back of a victory at Southwell. But he'll find ELSAFEER harder to beat carrying a penalty and upped in class. The latter ran well over a longer tip last time but was just denied over today's trip at Ludlow earlier and looks up to winning off his current mark. Regal One failed to cope with an 8lb rise on his latest start having won at Towcester before that while Fairyinthewind and Faustina Pius were both well beaten in the same race over 2m4f here three weeks ago.
