Stratford

Point winner who cashed in on a lowly mark in handicap hurdle at Southwell last month. Bounced back to make it 2 wins in 4 for starts for current yard when dominating a weak event on chasing debut here last week. Needs a bit more to repeat the feat over hurdles, though he looks as good as ever.

Produced a career-best success over C&D in April. Handicapper has offered some respite following rare poor effort at Southwell last month. Capable of going close if back on song.

Presumably all the better for refitted tongue strap (has had breathing issues) when readily justifying support under this claimer at Warwick last month. May well defy 5 lb rise on just her third start for Harry Derham.

Didn't need to improve to make winning return in a thin Newton Abbot chase (25/1). Isn't an obvious one to follow up on rare start over the smaller obstacles, for all his hurdles mark is appreciably lower.
