Michael’s Mount should prevail

TIPS: Ian Williams’ runner looks to be a cut above his rivals at Ludlow

MICHAEL’S MOUNT ran a very pleasing race last time out and looks a cut above his rivals in the Windsor Clive International Novices’ Hurdle at Ludlow.

A decent middle-distance handicapper on the Flat, he is now with Ian Williams and won at the first time of asking at Doncaster.

Stepped up markedly in grade for the Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle at Kempton, he finished a very fine third in one of the strongest races of its type outside of Cheltenham.

Kerry Lee’s TREE OF LIBERTY should take some stopping in the Alfa Aggregate Products Novices’ Chase.

GLOBAL ACADEMY is a very good horse to be running for just under £6,000 in the Betway Novice Stakes at Wolverhampton.

Gay Kelleway’s youngster ran off a mark of just 69 in December.

However, wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton have seen his rating shoot up to 90.

Six furlongs and Lingfield did not seem to suit him last time out but back to the minimum trip and Dunstall Park he can regain top form.

DOUBLE: Michael’s Mount and Global Academy.
