(1) Therapist 4/9, Well backed when landing a handicap by 38l off 105 here last time; margin exaggerated that day; progressive on sound surface; weight rise partially offset by jockey's claim; can follow up
In good form on AW this year; left clear for wide-margin C&D win on hurdle return in April.

Has good strike-rate over hurdles but her two younger rivals appeal more.

17:25 Stratford (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

THERAPIST is nothing but versatile and it would be no surprise to see the Nicky Henderson-trained mare put her two rivals to the sword. The five-year-old travelled well throughout her recent course and distance success and with that experience still fresh, a 5lb higher rating looks very manageable. Crystal Glance is arguably open to more improvement than Princess T and is feared the most on that basis.

Nicky Henderson's THERAPIST looked set to win anyway before she was left clear at the final flight here last month. She can follow up.

17:55 Stratford (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SIR GALAHAD successfully switched codes with a game victory at Wetherby in March and is an attractive proposition with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. Ronnies Rules unseated on his first couple of starts over hurdles, but learned enough to be a ready winner at Ffos Las three weeks ago and looks the chief danger. Duel Au Soleil and Buxted Reel are the pick of the remainder.

The Ffos Las winner RONNIES RULES is preferred to the Wetherby scorer \bSir Galahad in what appears to be a straightforward match.

18:30 Stratford (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Unbeaten in two starts for the Olly Murphy yard, SUMMERLEAZE seems to have found a new lease of life and is readily fancied to extend the wining run. A 6lb rise for her latest success looks manageable, even though Special John represents a sterner calibre of opponent here. Having said that, Make Sunshine and Archie Macdart are weighted to have a say in the likely battle for second place.

The in-form SUMMERLEAZE has taken her form to a new level since joining Olly Murphy and can complete the hat-trick.

19:05 Stratford (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Broomfield Gale hasn't completed on her last three starts but she was challenging for the lead when running out two from home last time, and will be a threat if putting her best foot forward. However, it might be wise to take a chance on GOODBYEMICK, who has few miles on the clock in this sphere and might appreciate stepping up in trip for his handicap bow. Remember Moi is another to consider.

None of these are convincing. In the hope that a newly applied tongue-tie rekindles a spark, the tentative vote goes to REMEMBER MOI.

19:35 Stratford (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MY VIRTUE was perhaps stretched by the extended 2m3f at Hereford recently having been successful over 2m at Southwell last May. That effort was still promising though and if finding improvement now sent over fences, she could regain the winning thread. Point winner Kimjoy is another that could appreciate the larger obstacles and is considered, along with the class-dropping Fancy Stuff.

Preference is for MY VIRTUE (nap), who switches to fences after a good effort over hurdles last month.

20:05 Stratford (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Time Interval can often race too keenly but he does have the ability to be competitive from his current mark should this be run to suit. The vote, though, goes to MY BOBBY'S LASS, who may have benefited from wind surgery following her return to action at Warwick last month. A winner at Hereford in October, the return to handicap company is likely to suit Mel Rowley's mare. Spartan Warrior completes the shortlist.

With last month's reappearance run behind her, MY BOBBY'S LASS may build upon her dominant win in October.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
