13:50 Stratford Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 19f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (1/1 +43%) Believitanducan	1 1/1(+43%)	(1) Believitanducan 1/1, Signed off for Jessica Macey with a 2m Flat win at Beverley and followed up in 2m Newbury juvenile on hurdle debut. Well beaten when stepped up to Grade 2 level at Cheltenham since but retains potential with sights lowered. Tailed off in a Grade 2 last time, but back in calimer water here; longer trip should suit.
8	8 (8) (10/3 +39%) Analiese	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(8) Analiese 10/3, Left debut fourth well behind when scoring by 6 lengths at Hereford (2m, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely capable of better again and bold show likely. Won nicely at Hereford last month; should be suited by the longer trip; high on the list.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +0%) Across Earth	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Across Earth 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Marco Botti. 12/1, showed an aptitude for hurdling when 20 lengths second on first attempt at Huntingdon 8 days ago and entitled to come on for that first outing in 5 months. Beaten 20l by the winner when runner-up on recent hurdles debut; improvement needed.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -60%) El Gavilan	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) El Gavilan 8/1, Fair form over hurdles in France but below that level when placed twice in Britain this winter. Likely vulnerable for win purposes again. Promise over hurdles in France and when placed in last two British starts; each-way claims.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Eaststone Buck's	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Eaststone Buck's 10/1, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam (h87) maiden hurdler. In goods hands so would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on debut. Something to like on pedigree and is with a major stable; market informative.
6	6 (6) (22/1 +33%) Fram Castle	22 22/1(+33%)	(6) Fram Castle 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Lost his way for Ollie Sangster towards the end of 2024 and showed only minor promise when well-held fourth on Newbury hurdle debut last month. 0-12 under rules; fair fourth on recent hurdles debut but needs to improve.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -100%) Vorderman	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Vorderman 50/1, Well held in 2 bumpers. Sprung a 25/1 surprise on Fontwell hurdle debut but the form is barely modest and he was well beaten under a penalty at Newbury since. Won an uncompetive event at Fontwell before well held at Newbuty; looks up against it.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -200%) Like Magic	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Like Magic 150/1, Dual Flat winner in Germany but pulled too hard and well held on Ludlow hurdle debut for new yard 33 days ago. Has a tongue tie added this time. 2-5 on the Flat in Germany but well beaten on hurdles/stable debut; tongue-tie on.

13:50 Stratford Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

BELIEVITANDUCAN found life tough in the Grade 2 Triumph Hurdle trial at Cheltenham. Alan King's inmate had made a pleading hurdling debut when scoring at Newbury before that and looks worth another chance back at this level, despite carrying a penalty. Analiese is also burdened with a penalty for landing a maiden at Hereford last month, but she will likely appreciate this extra yardage, while Across Earth can get involved too.

ANALIESE should have more to come on the back of her Hereford success and is narrowly preferred to fellow hurdle winner Believitanducan. Across Earth may prove best of the remainder.

This can go to BELIEVEITANDUCAN who was out of his depth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last time, but had won well on his hurdles debut.

14:20 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2/1 +67%) El Granjero	2 2/1(+67%)	(1) El Granjero 2/1, Successful twice over hurdles last spring and returned to form in first-time cheekpieces with a near-miss at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) on New Year's Eve. Again found just one too good over the same C&D last month and this former point winner merits respect on chase debut. Dual winning hurdler and in good form lately; interesting on chase debut (1-1 in points).
7	7 (7) (5/2 +29%) Korus	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(7) Korus 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden who, having finished in the money on 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles, made an encouraging start in this sphere when third in a 7-runner Plumpton handicap (19.8f, soft). Promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he's of strong interest with improvement on the cards. 0-7 under rules, but promising third on chase debut at Plumpton; this longer trip may suit.
6	6 (6) (7/2 -17%) I Shut That D'or	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(6) I Shut That D'or 7/2, Has been rejuvenated by the switch to front-running tactics, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts with a another near-fautless round of jumping at Hereford (19f, good to soft) in January. Every inch a leading contender, for all that this 5 lb higher mark demands a new personal-best. Bids for fourth win in his last five starts; major player despite 5lb rise and longer trip.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +72%) Just Loose Change	7 7/1(+72%)	(5) Just Loose Change 7/1, Twice a winner over hurdles and much improved in this sphere when rallying for success in novices' handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) in November. However, he has proved disappointing since and the first-time cheekpieces (on again here) failed to spark a return to form at Market Rasen last time. Off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in November, but has been disappointing since.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -100%) Sainte Doctor	8 8/1(-100%)	(4) Sainte Doctor 8/1, Successful final 2 starts of 2022/23 campaign before an 18-month absence. Back in the groove on fourth outing since returning from that hiatus, landing a 4-runner Fakenham handicap (21.2f, good) in ready fashion last month. 3 lb rise easy to swallow and she has to enter calculations. Showed ability remains when beating three rivals at Fakenham last month; respected up 3lb.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -180%) Stratagem	28 28/1(-180%)	(2) Stratagem 28/1, Useful sort who made all in 3m Southwell hunter in May 2022. Hasn't got near that level since but, on the upside, his mark continues to slide and he will be a danger to all if able to get back on track. Last two wins in hunter chases; bit to prove back from another layoff.

14:20 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

I Shut That D'or bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb for winning at Hereford, though he is progressing well and another bold bid is expected. Sainte Doctor returned a ready winner when upped in distance at Fakenham and she can land a blow, but PILSDON PEN will be sharper for last month's reappearance in the mud at Lingfield. A dual winner at Wincanton last season, this faster surface will suit Jeremy Scott's charge and he should have more to offer over fences.

None of these can be ruled out with any great confidence but KORUS nevertheless stands out on account of his potential following an encouraging debut in this sphere at Plumpton. The 5-y-o shapes as though he'll benefit from this step up in trip and he shades preference ahead of in-form rivals Shut That d'Or and Sainte Doctor. Chase debutant El Granjero is also interesting.

The vote goes to I SHUT THAT D'OR who has been flying since November and is taken to continue his rich vein of form.

14:50 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (15/8 +63%) Summerleaze	1.875 15/8(+63%)	(8) Summerleaze 15/8, Has looked limited so far but has switched to Olly Murphy since last seen in the autumn and she would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour. Well worth a market check on stable debut after 140 days off; drying ground may help.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +25%) Les's Jersey Royal	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(4) Les's Jersey Royal 9/2, Poor form, beaten 26 lengths when second in 21f Wincanton handicap last month. First-time cheekpieces will need to give him something extra. Distant second behind a dual subsequent winner last month; bit more needed; cheekpieces on.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +0%) Seasmoke	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Seasmoke 6/1, Prominent racer who made it third time lucky in handicaps at Market Rasen (20.5f, good) last May. Merely passed beaten horses when remote fourth at Huntingdon 18 days ago but he might come on for that first outing in 9 months. Market Rasen winner last spring; possibilities if recent run has brought her on.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -7%) Pearl's Pirate	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(6) Pearl's Pirate 15/2, Showed a bit sole bumper outing last March. Well beaten in novice hurdles since but may do better now handicapping over further. Check the betting. Beaten a long way over hurdles, but may appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -100%) Arctic Angel	10 10/1(-100%)	(5) Arctic Angel 10/1, Posted her best effort over hurdles on her handicap debut when third of 9 at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. That form has been franked so she can go well again off the same mark. Third on handicap debut at Chepstow last time; possibilities off the same mark.
14	14 (14) (11/1 +0%) Nowyouvebinandunit	11 11/1(+0%)	(14) Nowyouvebinandunit 11/1, Placed twice in handicaps for Simon Earle in summer 2023. Lightly raced since and didn't get the chance to show what she could do (brought down early) on recent first outing for Neil Mulholland. 0-10 but has shown some ability; could make an impact if the ground continues to dry out.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -50%) Welcheston Warrier	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Welcheston Warrier 18/1, Only minor promise so far but more chance now handicapping over a trip which should suit on breeding. Well held in a bumper and two completed starts over hurdles; leap of faith is required.
13	13 (13) (18/1 -29%) Atlantic Power	18 18/1(-29%)	(13) Atlantic Power 18/1, Poor form under Rules, coming in a well-held third on 2¾m Fontwell handicap debut (heavy) 15 days ago. Early days but improvement will be needed. Better performance when third at Fontwell 15 days ago; needs more but he remains unexposed.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +55%) Illico De Montave	18 18/1(+55%)	(7) Illico De Montave 18/1, Reaching the frame in a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but has failed to make an impact in 4 handicaps subsequently. First-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference. Fourth in first two starts over hurdles but well beaten in handicaps since; cheekpieces on.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +20%) Quite The Getaway	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) Quite The Getaway 20/1, Made the frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including 2 handicaps this winter. Placed in two of his four starts in bumpers, but well beaten in five outings over hurdles.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +20%) Guguss Collonges	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Guguss Collonges 20/1, Successful twice over fences in autumn 2023 but has largely struggled over hurdles and fences since. First outing since October. 0-16 over hurdles and has been performing poorly since the start of last year.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +12%) Knocknagappagh	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Knocknagappagh 22/1, Long-standing maiden but likely would have won a handicap chase at Leicester in December but for a bad mistake at the last. In nothing like the same form when pulled up at Huntingdon since and now reverts to hurdles. Favourably treated on best form in Ireland, but record of 0-27 under rules doesn't inspire.
11	11 (11) (33/1 0%) Darcy's Glance	33 33/1(0%)	(11) Darcy's Glance 33/1, Well held in 3 bumpers/maiden hurdles. Handicap debut. Little in three bumpers and three hurdles; makes handicap debut after 284 days off.

14:50 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ARCTIC ANGEL posted her best effort over hurdles to date when third at Chepstow on her handicap debut. She may well have finished closer with a more fluent display of jumping and looks on a feasible mark based on that evidence. Les's Jersey Royal was no match for King Of The Lake when second at Wincanton, but the latter has subsequently landed a hat-trick so that form looks strong. Summerleaze is worth noting too.

ARCTIC ANGEL made a reasonably promising start to her handicap career at Chepstow and might prove the answer in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. Summerleaze has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and market support for her would look significant. Seasmoke should strip fitter for last month's Huntingdon run and completes the shortlist.

An open race can go to ARCTIC ANGEL who showed enough at Chepstow last time to suggest that a race like this is within her reach.

15:20 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (13/8 +73%) Moon Chime	1.625 13/8(+73%)	(3) Moon Chime 13/8, Useful dual bumper winner who scored twice in this sphere last season. Shaped well on his return when fourth at Carlisle but failed to justify market support when hanging away his chance when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f). May be worth keeping the faith off this mark. 4-8 in bumpers/hurdles; has suggested he will be suited by return to a left-handed track.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +33%) Golden Maverick	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Golden Maverick 3/1, Fairly useful on Flat and three-time winner over hurdles for this yard. Travelled more kindly when fourth in first-time visor on penultimate run, reverted to type when going in snatches last time yet found plenty for pressure to score (Carlisle, 17f). Capable if first-time blinkers do the trick. Three wins soft ground wins in the past year and won on fast ground on the Flat; respected.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +10%) Balhambar	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(1) Balhambar 9/2, Much improved sent handicapping in this sphere last season and returned in similar vein, when excellent third at Cheltenham prior to chasing home a decent sort (Alnilam) at Southwell (15.8f). Not at his best from this mark in a better race latest but he's a player down in grade if back on song. Has been mainly consistent over the past year, but modest at Musselburgh last month.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +0%) Klic Boum	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Klic Boum 6/1, Caught the eye in maiden/novice hurdles and similar story in handicaps, noted finishing with running left when third in 10-runner contest at Hereford (19.7f) last month. While drop back to 2 miles may not be ideal, connections could make use of his stamina in a race without much pace. Chance. 0-8 under rules; third at Hereford last month but not sure drop back in trip is a positive.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +29%) Schmilsson	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Schmilsson 10/1, Second hurdle success when shading a tight finish in 2m Wetherby handicap on seasonal reappearance. Hasn't been able to hit those heights since, again a shade disappointing when fifth of 6 at Taunton (16.5f) 20 days ago, although that was a 0-140 and he's not ruled out off 2 lb in a weaker race. Back off last winning mark, but his efforts in the meantime not compelling.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -25%) Maasai Mara	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Maasai Mara 20/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in 2023 and looked promising when landing a Catterick juvenile last season. Unconvincing on the Level last summer but wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago and he's fairly handicapped if putting it all together. Not really convinced in two starts at Hereford since returning to hurdles in December.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -52%) Mister Wilson	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Mister Wilson 50/1, Inconsistent type whose losing run dates back to June 2023. Previously with Gavin Cromwell and offered little encouragement (in first-time hood) on debut for this yard in December. Others preferred. 1-23 over jumps and tailed off on stable debut at Uttoxeter in December; tongue-tie on.

15:20 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A 276-day absence proved no barrier to success for Hara Kiri when he completed a hat-trick at Leicester in December. Olly Murphy's lightly-raced eight-year-old must enter calculations, but a 7lb higher mark could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing the downgraded BALHAMBAR, who looked progressive prior to his below-par 10th at Musselburgh. Golden Maverick and Klic Boum are others to consider.

A trappy event made even trickier by the obvious lack of pace. Bumper winner and dual hurdles scorer MOON CHIME doesn't lack for speed at this level, and he could be worth another chance off a fair handicap mark. Hara Kiri arrives with obvious claims chasing a four-timer, while Balhambar has chased home some decent horses this season and despite disappointing on his latest start, is entitled to plenty of respect back down in grade.

The form of GOLDEN MAVERICK's latest Carlisle win has since been boosted and he is taken to follow up for last year's winning stable.

6	6 (6) (11/4 -22%) Non Stop	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(6) Non Stop 11/4, Drew a blank over fences last season but returned to winning ways over hurdles when taking a handicap at Plumpton on return in November. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up back in this sphere last time and he's a leading contender off the same mark here. Has twice finished runner-up off this mark over fences including last time; high on list.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +70%) Salamanca Bay	3 3/1(+70%)	(2) Salamanca Bay 3/1, Headstrong sort who was well served by fitting of a hood when off the mark over fences for Lucinda Russell at Ayr last March. No show in 3 starts for Dan Skelton this season and hopes pinned on another yard switch helping to spark a return to form. Starts out for another new yard and is 1lb below his last winning mark; watch market.
7	7 (7) (3/1 +14%) Dancing In Brazil	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Dancing In Brazil 3/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has performed with credit in handicap hurdles at Newbury and Huntingdon for new yard the last twice. Likely to be in the thick of things, provided that his jumping passes the test now tackling the larger obstacles. 0-10 since winning a Huntingdon bumper but worth a second look on chase debut.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +33%) Yes Indeed	8 8/1(+33%)	(4) Yes Indeed 8/1, Fairly useful winning chaser in France he's yet to get his head in front on these shores and ran poorly at Worcester on latest appearance/final run for Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill last summer. Others preferred. 0-16 for the O'Neill yard; makes his stable debut after 252 days off and best watched.
1	1 (1) (9/1 +18%) Jetronic	9 9/1(+18%)	(1) Jetronic 9/1, Chase winner in France and landed a Plumpton novice hurdle for Paul Nicholls last spring. Little impact in 3 starts for present yard but he is at least coming down the weights and is also eased in class here. Poor in four starts since winning over hurdles at Plumpton a year ago; hard to recommend.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -6%) Intrepide Sud	9 9/1(-6%)	(5) Intrepide Sud 9/1, Fair bumper winner who opened his hurdling account in 2m novice at Uttoxeter in October. Pulled up last 2 starts but makes chase debut off what looks a reasonable mark and he could be a factor if he takes to fences at the first attempt. Pulled up over hurdles the last twice; worth a second look on chase debut (1-1 in points).
3	3 (3) (20/1 -100%) Cat Tiger	20 20/1(-100%)	(3) Cat Tiger 20/1, Useful chaser at best but below par both starts since rejoining former yard, including with first-time cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) at Lingfield latest. Sole success over a trip shy of 2½m was gained back in 2018 and he will almost certainly find things happening too quickly returned to 2m. Very useful handicap/hunter chaser, but two modest efforts since returning in October.

15:50 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

NON STOP found only a course specialist too strong at Plumpton 28 days ago and this looks a suitable opportunity for the six-year-old to break his duck over fences. Joe Tizzard's charge makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and he's taken to fend off chase debutant Dancing In Brazil. The Blue Bresil gelding arrives on the back of a solid hurdles third at Huntingdon and a similar performance will likely see him go close. The downgraded Jetronic is also noted.

Chase debutants DANCING IN BRAZIL and Intrepide Sud may well come to the fore, assuming that they both get into a good rhythm jumping-wise. The latter has a bit to prove having pulled up in handicap hurdles the last twice but perhaps this change of vocation will help him get back on the right path. That said, Dancing In Brazil arrives here on the back of a couple of creditable efforts and he is marginally preferred. Non Stop is the clear pick of those with experience over fences.

Preference is for NON STOP (nap) who has twice finished runner-up off this mark over fences. He wouldn't need much more to win this.

14	14 (14) (9/2 +63%) Dish Of The Day	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(14) Dish Of The Day 9/2, Yet to fire this term, pulling up over 3m at Uttoxeter when last seen on New Year's Eve. Drops in trip with cheekpieces added back from 10 weeks off. Hasn't shown much so far (tried over 2m7f last time); headgear now tried; hard to fancy.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -120%) Chicago Storm	5.5 11/2(-120%)	(3) Chicago Storm 11/2, Landed a Dundalk claimer on final run for previous stable and caused a surprise back over hurdles for new yard winning a 17-runner handicap at Wincanton in January. Has backed that up with 2 creditable efforts around 2m since and player if stamina holds now stepping back up in trip., Ex-Irish; 10lb higher than when winning on stable debut but has an each-way chance.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +40%) Sandscape	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Sandscape 6/1, Steady progress in maiden/novice hurdles but Sandown handicap debut in January was disappointing, pulling up. Early days but had to make a good case for. Second in a Wetherby novice in December; pulled up over 2m4f on h'cap debut; not out of it.
8	8 (8) (15/2 +25%) Ted's Friend	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Ted's Friend 15/2, Dual hurdles winner but has run well below par the last twice, albeit 2m was on the short side last time and the handicapper has given him a chance. No surprise were he to go well. Below par last twice (soft); in fair form on better ground before that; worth considering.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +0%) Sambezi	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) Sambezi 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler who took handicaps at Fontwell and Worcester in spring 2023 but has found life harder since, dropping away quickly back from a break at Warwick 17 days ago. Has won three times over hurdles; not as his best on last four starts; others appeal more.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +64%) Hors Jeu	10 10/1(+64%)	(2) Hors Jeu 10/1, A fairly useful 17f hurdles winner in France last spring but he hasn't fired in 3 runs since coming to Britain. Can only watch at present. Winner in France last year; disappointing in three starts for new yard; others stronger.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +57%) Storming Nelson	12 12/1(+57%)	(11) Storming Nelson 12/1, Winner of an Exeter novice last January but has offered little in 6 subsequent handicap starts. Best to look elsewhere. 2m maiden hurdle winner in January 2024; very disappointing since; plenty to prove..
13	13 (13) (14/1 -17%) Get The Value	14 14/1(-17%)	(13) Get The Value 14/1, Good second of 12 at Newton Abbot in July but pulled up back there the following month and not seen since. Might be best watched this time. Improved form when second on h'cap debut last July; pulled up next time and absent since.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -100%) Wolfspear	14 14/1(-100%)	(1) Wolfspear 14/1, Won twice from 4 starts last term (also second here) but not at his best this season. A bounce back is needed. Dual winner last season but hasn't run up to form this term; on a fair mark; bit to prove.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +11%) Monsant	16 16/1(+11%)	(9) Monsant 16/1, Fair form on first 2 outings back in 2023 but hasn't kicked on from that, including in 3 handicaps since joining Neil Mulholland. Ex-Irish; seven-race maiden; hasn't shown enough for new yard to suggest he can take this.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -25%) Minella Double	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Minella Double 20/1, 40/1 winner of a handicap at Worcester (2½m, good) in August but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 3 subsequent outings. This is his first run for 4 months. Worcester winner in August but pulled up when last seen out (November); may need the run.
10	10 (10) (20/1 -150%) Miss Kassiopi	20 20/1(-150%)	(10) Miss Kassiopi 20/1, Well held in bumpers but placed twice in ordinary maiden hurdles in the autumn. Well beaten back from a break at Lingfield 4 weeks ago but more chance now handicapping in first-time headgear. Unexposed; best run when 3rd in mares' maiden in October; player on h'cap debut.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -40%) Lough Owel	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Lough Owel 28/1, Fair form at best for Gordon Elliott but ended time with that yard on a low note and well beaten on Worcester stable debut in September. Off since. Ex-G Elliott; won a point and shown promise in bumpers/hurdles; tailed off on stable debut.

16:20 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CHICAGO STORM has built up enough credit to suggest that a recent below-par effort over 2m at Warwick was no more than a blip and he would have very strong claims in this weak event if back on song. Wolfspear has slipped to a mark just 1lb above when he last won and he warrants respect for an in-form yard, while Miss Kassiopi and Dish Of The Day are also considered.

CHICAGO STORM's stamina isn't assured but he's made a fine start to life with Daisy Hitchins and gets the vote. Ted's Friend hasn't fired the last twice but is well treated if staging a revival.

Back on better ground and with headgear on for the first time MISS KASSIOPI is taken to get off the mark on her handicap debut.

16:50 Stratford Hunter Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This looks a trappy affair so only a tentative vote goes to VIROFLAY. He was last seen fairly bolting up in a point-to-point and commands the utmost respect back in this sphere. Go Sacre Go found only one rival too good over 3m1f at Wincanton last time out and he merits respect in a bid to go one place better, while Caldwell Diamond is another to consider.

VIROFLAY warmed up for this with an easy point win last month and can make it third time lucky in hunters. Go Sacre Go will be a threat if reproducing the form of his comeback second at Wincanton. Barton Snow may prove best of the rest.

Preference is for CALDWELL DIAMOND who earned an RPR of 126 when winning over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and who is 1-1 in points.
