1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +17%) Hard As Nails		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(3) Hard As Nails 10/3, Dual bumper winner who landed the odds when making it third time lucky over hurdles in a 2m Southwell mares' maiden in May. Placed both subsequent starts and while more is needed now moving into handicap company, she is in good hands and can hardly be labelled as exposed. In the frame all five hurdling starts; can go well from the front on handicap debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 -17%) Eaton Anne		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(6) Eaton Anne 7/2, Successful sole start in Irish points last November and has acquitted himself well both starts under Rules, latterly finding just one too good in a Cartmel novice (17.2f, soft). Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap on the back of a break but he's in good hands and unexposed. Placed on both hurdling starts (2m/2m1f) and should have improvement to come in handicaps.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 -100%) Paddys Island		9 9/1(-100%)																															(4) Paddys Island 9/1, Didn't need to improve much to open his account at the second time of asking here (16.3f, good) in July. Found out under a penalty in a better race back at this course later that month but makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and he has very low mileage. Course maiden winner in the summer and open to improvement in handicaps.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -300%) River Robe		22 22/1(-300%)																															(5) River Robe 22/1, Made winning start for Dan Skelton on the back of a wind op in a Market Rasen handicap in June. Latest second in a C&D selling handicap (good) was a pretty solid effort and she'll certainly have a chance if she puts her best foot forward on debut for another new yard. Good second of 15 over C&D for Dan Skelton last month; recently sold for 1,600gns.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/1 +63%) Crac De Megaudais		6 6/1(+63%)																															(10) Crac De Megaudais 6/1, Has bettered his no-shows in novice events switched to handicaps the last twice but will need to improve in order to open his account here. 2lb wrong today but started off in handicaps with two encouraging runs; could have a say.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -100%) Quick Of The Night		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Quick Of The Night 20/1, Off the mark when narrowly taking a 12-runner Worcester handicap (2m, good) in July and followed that with a creditable third off this mark at Uttoxeter. Misfired back up to 2½m last time but return to this trip should help and she won't be far away if on-song. In good form over 2m in summer but disappointed over 2m4f last month; ground a worry.
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 +59%) Shengai Enki		6.5 13/2(+59%)																															(1) Shengai Enki 13/2, Demonstrated his versatility trip-wise earlier this year, landing a 23.3f Uttoxeter handicap in May followed by a 2m Worcester novice a month later. Has found things tougher since, though, and he's probably summed up by his current mark. Respectable sixth in competitive series final last week but others appeal more here.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -300%) Drop Flight		28 28/1(-300%)																															(2) Drop Flight 28/1, Landed 5-runner hunter at Exeter in March prior to falling early on in the Foxhunters' Chase at Aintree the following month. However, he hasn't threatened in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles so far, including on recent return/debut for new yard at Fontwell. Hunter chase winner in the spring; tailed off over hurdles on recent stable debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (9/2 +78%) El Vigaro		4.5 9/2(+78%)																															(11) El Vigaro 9/2, Best effort so far when fifth of 11 on his handicap debut over C&D in May but absent since and he's probably worth taking on. Tongue strap enlisted. Ran well when fifth over C&D on handicap debut in May but not seen again since.
10th	7 10th (7) (28/1 +44%) The Cypriot		28 28/1(+44%)																															(7) The Cypriot 28/1, Modest form in bumpers and it's been a similar story over hurdles so far. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on handicap debut at Exeter in April; not seen since.
9	9 |PU| (9) (10/1 0%) We Ain't Walking		10 10/1(0%)																															(9) We Ain't Walking 10/1, Pulled up sole start in Irish points and it's all been rather low-key over hurdles so far. Big step forward needed now that he makes the switch to handicap company. Showed only minor promise in his qualifying runs but well worth a market check here.

16:27 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Having hit the frame in novice company at Southwell and Cartmel in May, point-to-point winner EATON ANNE makes plenty of appeal on his handicap bow. An opening mark of 97 looks lenient and the six-year-old is likely to relish this step up in trip. Hard As Nails also enters this sphere off what looks a fair rating and the Fergal O'Brien-trained mare isn't taken lightly. River Robe and Paddys Island have the form to feature as well.

Handicap-debutants PADDYS ISLAND, Eaton Anne and Hard As Nails can come to the fore with preference for the first-named, who showed more than enough in three starts here during the summer to suggest that he will be competitive off this mark. Quick of The Night will also have a chance if she puts her best foot forward.

Winning Irish pointer EATON ANNE (nap) launched his hurdling career with two good efforts in the spring and still has more to offer.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -33%) Bridget Mary		4 4/1(-33%)																															(6) Bridget Mary 4/1, Point winner who posted her best effort over timber when second of 11 in handicap hurdle here (26.4f, good) in May. Another decent effort when fifth at Ffos Las later that month and there's a good chance that she'll be seen in a better light now tackling fences. In good form over 3m+ over hurdles in the spring; makes chasing debut after a break.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +11%) Libor Lad		8 8/1(+11%)																															(2) Libor Lad 8/1, Winner of 2½m handicaps in the mud at Uttoxeter and Doncaster last winter. Ended last season with a couple of poor efforts but the latest was in a Class 2 contest and he could have a part to play if his jumping passes the test now switched to fences. 10l hurdle winner in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts; chase debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 +15%) Nadim		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(3) Nadim 17/2, Three-time winner over hurdles in 2023 but rather in-and-out so far this year and he's opposable sent chasing on debut for another new yard. Has very mixed hurdle/Flat record this year; with yet another new yard for chasing debut.
4	8 4th (8) (15/8 +46%) Eric Carmen		1.875 15/8(+46%)																															(8) Eric Carmen 15/8, Irish point winner who capitalised on his falling mark over hurdles at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in May. Showed more than on first 2 starts in this sphere when third of 13 back at Southwell recently and that's the best chase form on offer. Failed to complete first two chases but ran well when third at Southwell on Thursday.
5th	11 5th (11) (66/1 +0%) Mr Sociable		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) Mr Sociable 66/1, Poor maiden for whom hopes are pinned on the first-time tongue strap sparking significant improvement. Pulled up in three of his first four chases, and achieved very little when he completed.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 -33%) Buck Of Maine		6 6/1(-33%)																															(9) Buck Of Maine 6/1, Maiden who showed first form over jumps (in first-time blinkers) when third over this C&D in July. Hasn't built on that in 3 starts subsequently (not convincing with his jumping) but the ability is there if he is able to get it together on the jumping front. Placed in modest C&D chase in July but subsequent form is uninspiring.
7th	1 7th (1) (25/1 -79%) Toronet		25 25/1(-79%)																															(1) Toronet 25/1, Winner of a French claiming hurdle last February and bettered previous efforts on these shores when third in a 6-runner Uttoxeter handicap (19.9f, heavy) at the beginning of this year. However, he didn't show a great deal on chase debut at Cartmel when last seen in July. Never competitive on chasing debut in July but will appreciate this ease in grade.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 -117%) Everyonesacritic		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(5) Everyonesacritic 13/2, Made a successful handicap debut with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in February. Best effort since when third at Southwell on latest start in May and this former point winner is very much of interest now switched to fences. Irish point winner; placed over hurdles on latest outing in May; appeals on chasing debut.
4	4 |PU| (4) (25/1 +0%) Boom Boom		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Boom Boom 25/1, Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Wincanton in April 2023 for Nicky Henderson but it's largely been a case of heavy defeats since switched to the larger obstacles. Excelled himself when third from a long way out of the weights here in July; a possible.
7	7 |PU| (7) (25/1 +24%) Miami Jim		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) Miami Jim 25/1, Failed to complete in a couple of points and, having shaped with little promise in a trio of maiden hurdles, this 6-y-o is hard to warm to now sent chasing. Not disgraced in three maiden hurdles this season; makes chase/handicap debut here.
10	10 |PU| (10) (50/1 -52%) O'grady's Boy		50 50/1(-52%)																															(10) O'grady's Boy 50/1, Veteran who has offered little over hurdles/fences in recent seasons and he looks set for another struggle from out of the weights here. Teenager with 0-21 career strike-rate; can't be recommended.

17:02 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

EVERYONESACRITIC has finished third on each of his last two starts in this grade over the smaller obstacles and he now makes his chase debut. Evan Williams' five-year-old might prove a different proposition over fences and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways. Bridget Mary is a point-to-point winner who is yet to taste success under Rules, but the switch to this chasing might bring out some improvement, so she is one to note. Of the remainder, Eric Carmen makes the most appeal.

Point-winners BRIDGET MARY and Everyonesacritic can be expected to step up on what they showed over hurdles now switched to the larger obstacles. The vote goes to the former, who may benefit from this drop back in trip and she makes her chase debut on a fair mark. Eric Carmen is the pick of those with experience in this sphere and he is third choice ahead of dual hurdles winner Libor Lad.

Class-dropper TORONET made a low-key chasing debut in July but is nicely treated on some of his hurdling form and worth chancing.

1	4 1st (4) (1/1 +64%) Gore Point		1 1/1(+64%)																															(4) Gore Point 1/1, Encouraging debut run when second of 11 in bumper at Ludlow (15.7f) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. Underperformed at Doncaster next time and has been off 10 months since, but definite claims if back to form. Not seen since poor run last December but his debut second was promising.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +100%) Top Tier Gossip		2.25 9/4(+100%)																															(5) Top Tier Gossip 9/4, Getaway filly. Closely related to fair hurdler Gentle Connections, and half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser Midnight River. Highly respected on debut. Half-sister to top stable's smart chaser Midnight River; must be considered on debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 -79%) Bertie The Rebel		25 25/1(-79%)																															(3) Bertie The Rebel 25/1, Cockney Rebel gelding. Dam multiple point winner. Not an obvious sort on paper. First foal from a multiple point winner; stable 1-19 in bumpers during last five seasons.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +10%) Ballymena Boy		3 3/1(+10%)																															(2) Ballymena Boy 3/1, €17,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Kells Priory, stayed 3m. Dam, little impact in points, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stays 3m) Tombstone. Wears tongue strap. Runner-up in a point and has joined a shrewd trainer, so looks a notable Rules newcomer. Second to a subsequent rules bumper winner in a point bumper in March; cost £10,000.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -525%) Azaris		100 100/1(-525%)																															(1) Azaris 100/1, Panis gelding. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Alistair and closely related to a winner. Pulled up at Worcester first time out (for Nicky Henderson) and he's hard to make any sort of case for. Left Nicky Henderson after very poor debut in August; best watched on stable debut.

17:37 Stratford NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GORE POINT shaped with plenty of promise on his bumper debut to fill the runner-up spot at Ludlow in November before running too bad to be true at Doncaster the following month. The son of Order Of St George makes his return to action and, if he can run to the level of his first start, he could be the one to beat. Top Tier Gossip is a half-sister to Midnight River and would be of interest if the market speaks in her favour on her debut, along with fellow newcomer Ballymena Boy.

TOP TIER GOSSIP makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and represents a top yard, so she's worth chancing first time out. Ballymena Boy has shown ability in points, so he's one to consider along with Gore Point.

Another chance is given to GORE POINT, who flopped on his second start but did well to take second from a poor position on his debut.

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.
