Horse racing tips: Ludlow, Southwell and Plumpton – Templegate’s betting preview for the racing this Sunday, May 13

LOAD up on Truck in Southwell’s 4.05.

TRUCKERS LODGE (nap) was impressive when winning a Chepstow bumper on decent ground last spring.

He’s put in a couple of fair hurdles efforts on testing going and I’m expecting him to show his true colours now he gets a more suitable surface.

SALIX (4.35 Southwell, nb) caught the eye in a Kempton novices’ hurdle last month.

He looks nicely treated for his handicap debut.

BALLYCROSS (2.30 Ludlow, treble) got it all together to win at Ffos Las last month. He should follow up.
