TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)

Alan Morris focuses on Ludlow and Newcastle this Thursday as he looks to jumps racing action for his best bets of the day.

A few in here need to step up on their limited chasing experience. Another Folly is performing better this season over fences for his in-form yard and will be popular but Jaitroplaclasse looks value to improve for this step up in trip. He was well-backed at Sedgefield last time but hit a flat spot around that speed-flavouring track before staying on again.

Tommy Combats should improve for his seasonal debut and past the victor Too Cool Forshrule. Point winner Always A Reason could go well on chase debut but a chance is taken on course and distance winner Empty Nest to benefit from a break and bounce back over a flat track and decent ground.
