1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +56%) Arcade Attraction		4 4/1(+56%)																															(3) Arcade Attraction 4/1, Poor initially last season but returned to form when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (19.5f) in February. That very much a standout last season, finishing well held in his follow-up bid 6 weeks later at Hereford and has since switched yards. Made all in first-time cheekpieces in February but quickly back in the doldrums next time.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -67%) Atlantic Storm		10 10/1(-67%)																															(5) Atlantic Storm 10/1, Hit the target off a 15 lb higher mark at Southwell last June but more miss than hit since. Faced a stiff task from 3 lb out of the handicap at Stratford (17f, good to soft) recently and could well make a splash back in Class 5 company. Not the force of old but runs this track well and competes off career-low mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.33/1 -11%) If I Say		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(6) If I Say 3.33/1, Off the mark in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f) in September and offered a good deal more than on her chasing debut when runner-up at back at Worcester last month, showing the benefit of her reappearance. Could well have more to offer, so may well go one better. Chase home a much improved rival at Worcester last month, her second start over fences.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +44%) Moans Cross		10 10/1(+44%)																															(4) Moans Cross 10/1, Standout effort in 2021/22 when landing 4-runner Fontwell handicap (21.6f). Respectable third at Newton Abbot on reappearance in June last year but struggled to match that on all 4 outings since. Best watched with the equipment discarded after 9 months off the track. Not seen since three below-par runs last September/October; others are much less risky.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +25%) Ocean's Of Money		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Ocean's Of Money 9/1, Showed some ability in a pair of maiden hurdles for Miss Elizabeth Doyle in March 2021. Didn't show much over hurdles for current yard, but some encouragement on chasing debut when third of 6 at Ffos Las in April. Not so good since at Worcester however but can bounce back. Made fairly encouraging chase debut in April but well held since; not the obvious answer.
6th	1 6th (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Gouet Des Bruyeres		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(1) Gouet Des Bruyeres 6.5/1, Three-time winner over fences, the latest at Southwell (2m) in September. Has continued in good nick, and his latest effort is excused after enduring equipment problems. Should go well again off an easing mark. Back from break with two good efforts in May and had excuses when below form last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 +0%) Dont Be Robin		20 20/1(+0%)																															(8) Dont Be Robin 20/1, Scored off 5 lb higher at Plumpton last season but typically in-and-out after and well held on both outings so far in 2023. Makes return from over 5 months off and likely to need this. Off since two underwhelming runs at start of this year; others have much less to prove.
8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 -78%) Jet Of Dreams		4 4/1(-78%)																															(2) Jet Of Dreams 4/1, Won his only start in points easily and has showed promise in 4 starts over hurdles. Offered something to work on sent chasing on handicap debut when runner-up at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago and fancied to take a step forward. No match for winner when second on chase/handicap debut but remains unexposed.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 +45%) Mawlood		12 12/1(+45%)																															(10) Mawlood 12/1, Losing run stretches back over 2 years and beaten a fair way on all 4 outing this season after a breathing operation. More severe headgear enlisted and the tongue tie goes back on, but easy enough to look elsewhere once again. Well held when fourth at Southwell a fortnight ago and remains without a win since 2021.

LTO Selection:

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

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

JET OF DREAMS shaped with promise on his fencing bow over 2m at Southwell last month. He kept on well enough to suggest a step up in trip could suit and, with improvement likely, Warren Greatrex's charge can go one better. If I Say showed some promise when a well-held second at Worcester last month and has scope for improvement after only two chase starts, while Atlantic Storm appeals most of the remainder.

JET OF DREAMS offered plenty to work on sent chasing when finishing runner-up at Southwell just less than 3 weeks ago and with improvement on the cards, Warren Greatrex's 5-y-o is fancied to go one better with a fully-fledged rider taking over. If I Say showed the benefit of her reappearance at Worcester recently so she's put forward as the main threat, with Atlantic Storm and Gouet des Bruyeres others fancied to go well.

Preference is for GOUET DES BRUYERES, who was placed twice off a 2lb higher mark in May and can be forgiven last month's lesser effort.

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 -20%) Steel Wave		4 4/1(-20%)																															(5) Steel Wave 4/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner in May and ran creditably when third in 5-runner C&D event (good to soft) 26 days ago. Can give another good account. 13yo who runs this track well, including two of last three starts; shortlisted.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 -48%) Hunting Percival		3.33 3.33/1(-48%)																															(1) Hunting Percival 3.33/1, Seemed to relish the step up in trip when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at this course (22f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Little show on chase debut for this yard in May but certainly appeals as worth another chance. 2nd and Stratford winner on two of last three starts, as a hurdler; pulled up in a chase.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +61%) Conceal		5.5 5.5/1(+61%)																															(7) Conceal 5.5/1, Sent off 50/1 when scoring over fences on second start for this yard at Uttoxeter in October. Pulled up in handicap chase at this course (19.4f, soft) 84 days ago, though, so bounce back is required. No worthwhile form on last three starts, failing to show much here in April on latest.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Rostello		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(4) Rostello 3.5/1, Won over C&D last summer before gaining her second win of the season at Southwell in March. Regular jumping problems temper enthusiasm though, again clumsy over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time. Inconsistent but won this last year and scored easily again at Southwell this March.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 -30%) Ecossais		6.5 6.5/1(-30%)																															(2) Ecossais 6.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Patchy recent record, below form when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good, 17/2) 31 days ago. Slipped back to reasonable mark and has since undergone another breathing operation. No win since March 2021; the odd place in that period and wind surgery since latest start.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 +22%) Dan's Chosen		7 7/1(+22%)																															(3) Dan's Chosen 7/1, Held form well for a couple of starts after winning at Fakenham in October but now has a bit to prove after a pair of very poor efforts. Fell three starts back and looked badly out of sorts on both since;.
6	6 |PU| (6) (12/1 -20%) Hitthekettle		12 12/1(-20%)																															(6) Hitthekettle 12/1, Took 7 tries to win an Irish point and has shown very little in 4 starts to date over hurdles. Tricky to fancy on chase debut. 1-7 in Irish points; four runs over hurdles since, last of 11 on handicap debut last time.

17:10 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A winner over course and distance off this mark in May, prior to a couple of third-place finishes, it might be worth siding with the largely consistent veteran STEEL WAVE. Hunting Percival was pulled up in that same contest, but he could fare better following a confidence-boosting success over timber. Last year's winner Rostello must enter the reckoning, while Ecossais is noted on his first start post-wind surgery.

HUNTING PERCIVAL showed very little on chase debut earlier in the year but there was no fluke about his success over hurdles here last week and he's given another chance over fences in a race which shouldn't take much winning. Steel Wave has a positive recent C&D record and looks the main danger, with Conceal just about the pick of the rest.

The two most appealing propositions are last year's winner ROSTELLO and the veteran Steel Wave.

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.

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.
