Today’s racing tips and Newsboy Nap for Chepstow, Ludlow and Sedgefield

BEN BRODY is thriving at present and another win awaits him in the Glenelly Infrastructure Solutions glenellyis.com Novices' Handicap Chase (3.55) at Sedgefield.

The 11-year-old made all the running in a race at Ludlow last month, galloping clear of his rivals by ten lengths.

The David Jeffreys-trained veteran has risen 11lb in the weights for his exploits and encounters a faster surface on this occasion.

In a race where credible challengers look thin on the ground, he should be hard to peg back from the front under Max Kendrick.

At Chepstow, WRITE IT DOWN is weighted for a big performance in the Arabesque Table BookOfTheMonth April oliversbookshop.co.uk Handicap Chase (2.37).

The seven-year-old is 8lb below his last winning mark from Perth last August, following several below par runs.

But he does appear a better horse on quicker going and Adrian Heskin might just make his first ride on him a winning one.
