LUDLOW 3.30 ... MARODIMA 2 Pt @ 13/2

Marodima joined Rebecca Curtis on a 21lb higher chase mark than when winning a Worcester Hurdle by 10 length off 2lb lower than today on his penultimate run for Paul Nicholls.
Was totally outclassed in the Queen Mother Champion Chase taking on rivals rated between 150-186 when off level weights and has been running in better class hurdles in between his chases.
Dropped 10lb since November when last contesting a handicap, (albeit a Grade2) behind Celstial Halo (OR 165), in which the 3rd Whiteoak (OR 138) won her next outing in a mares Listed when stepped up in trip, and the 2nd Mamlook (OR 147) won his next start in a Grade 2 (also stepped up in trip, suggesting Marodima was beaten by stouter stayers) before a 4th place in the Tote sport Trophy (grade 3).
A line through Ronaldo Des Mottes (2nd in the Tote sport) would bring Know The Law close into the equation, but he has won both starts at Huntingdon on gd/firm going and is half the price with it to prove on this slower ground.
Marodima has run at longer trips since until dropped back to this 2 miles in a conditions Listed race behind the 163 rated Binocular last time and this opposition looks a lot weaker.
Won 25% (7/28) of all starts at this distance and 20% (3/15) of all Hurdles with another 6 places from all 28 outings. Could pay on the E/W but at the price I feel an all or nothing Win Only wager!
