I've only looked at one race today, the two-mile mares handicap hurdle at Ludlow. Not the best quality of races, but it is a Monday, and there looks to be a fair bet on in Femme d'Avril. The negatives are the doubtful form of the yard and that we're lumbered with Andrew Thornton, however, the return to a sharp 2m should prove in her favour and, tongue tied, she is worth a small bet at 16/1. Rich Nomad is also probably worth a speculative few quid at 40/1 (60 on Betfair), as she is potentially well handicapped on what she seemed to show on her penultimate outing (though was probably flattered), and the better ground may just suit. Littlemissdynamite is very short for what she's done and rates a fair place lay, although her attitude is probably better than several of those she's up against here.
Femme d'Avril 1pt e/w 16/1
Rich Nomad 0.5pt e/w 40/1
