Timeform’s three best bets for Thursday 4 March

Qualismart – 12:30 Ludlow

Qualismart seems to be value one other probability to construct on his encouraging debut in what just isn’t as aggressive a novice hurdle as the sector dimension would possibly recommend. Harry Whittington’s cost was properly fancied forward of his first outing at Market Rasen in November, and he duly produced a very polished and dominant efficiency to expire a two-and-a-quarter-length winner, beating a handful of horses who already had above-average type throughout one sphere or one other to their names. He was disappointing at Haydock final time, ending third in a muddling race, however he was unsuited by the testing situations on that event, and given the promise of his debut, specifically the timefigure he posted, he seems to be the one to beat.

Aquila Sky – 14:40 Ludlow

Aquila Sky‘s type in novice hurdles did not go away a lot to be desired, however he has confirmed a lot improved type since being despatched handicapping, ending third at Warwick and Doncaster, and that Doncaster race has since proved robust type for the grade, the pair who beat him each entering into subsequently. Aquila Sky disappointingly completed seventh at Newbury final time, however can have that run neglected given he was clearly unsuited by the testing situations, and he might be value one other probability.

Copain de Classe – 15:50 Ludlow

Admittedly, Copain de Classe should show his wellbeing after greater than two years off the monitor, however he was a helpful chaser at his peak and can take loads of stopping if returning anyplace close to his best. He has received contemporary previously as properly, touchdown a Kempton handicap at the start of the 2018/19 season, and contemplating Paul Nicholls has his runners is high type at current, Copain de Classe deserves loads of respect on his hunter debut.
