13:30 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Heronord (first) and First Angel (third) renew their rivalry from Newton Abbot last month, where the former held the latter by 20 lengths, so it's hard to envisage that form being overturned, even with a 7lb swing in the weights. However, the one to be with is TRAPISTA, who was fourth at Bangor in this grade last time and she ought to go close off 1lb lower. Full Of Light needs to show more if he is to be involved at this level.

HERONORD was always fighting a losing battle when chasing home Guinness Affair at Market Rasen earlier this month, but he faces nothing in the mould of that progressive type here and is taken to resume winning ways. If the addition of a visor helps eke out a bit more from Trapista she will likely emerge as the main danger, given that First Angel needs to bounce back following a heavy defeat in the Newton Abbot race won by Heronord last month.

Preference is for FIRST ANGEL, who won over C&D in May. Trapista is second choice.

14:05 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

JEEPYDOFF MEEL is the highest rated in this field and he hasn't finished outside of the first two since joining the Philip Kirby yard, so the five-year-old could prove tough to beat. The main threat might be Cheltenam De Vaige, who was hampered on the run-in at Market Rasen last time but still stayed on for second and he could have a say. Franz Klammer can beat Archie Macdart and The Rebel Breen home for third on his return.

JEEPYDOFF MEEL stands out on form and can register his second victory over hurdles. Cheltenam de Vaige is the obvious danger.

This should concern the top two and JEEPYDOFF MEEL, six years the junior of his market rival Cheltenam De Vaige, appeals most.

14:40 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Presentandcounting won easily at Perth on his latest outing and is likely to have his supporters on the back of that effort. However, the vote goes to HANG IN THERE, who ran a big race to hit the frame in a valuable handicap over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last time. The nine-year-old should appreciate the drop in grade after the handicapper kindly dropped him 1lb. Noahthirtytwored completes the shortlist after his Uttoxeter third.

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED is progressing steadily over fences and finished with running left when third at Uttoxeter last time. He is fancied to score. Cracking Destiny and Presentandcounting rate the principal dangers.

Good cases can be made for most of these but top of the list is NOAHTHIRTYTWORED, who has been in top form the last twice.

15:15 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

STAR LEGEND has shown an aptitude for jumping and has scope for further progression on just his third start in this discipline. Formerly with William Haggas on the Flat, the four-year-old is on a workable mark and should not be underestimated. Bahtiyar is notable returning after wind surgery on his first run for the Dan Skelton yard, while Cumhacht could also be thereabouts.

Having recorded back-to-back wins in the spring, MAGIC MIKE's run of good form came to a halt on heavy ground at Uttoxeter last time, but he can leave his latest effort behind returned to less testing conditions. He is taken to get the better of Bahtiyar, who is on a workable mark making his first start for Dan Skelton, while Star Legend also enters calculations.

The consistent Robber's Bridge is a solid option but BAHTIYAR is taken to exploit a reduced mark on his first start for Dan Skelton

15:50 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

LONG CALL showed a likable attitude when a game winner back over hurdles at Bangor earlier in the month and just a 2lb higher mark creates strong hope for a follow-up success. Lady Gwen is an obvious danger given her tenacious performance when winning a mares race here last month and she is taken seriously off just 3lb higher. Herecomesfreddie and Deal Em High are the pick of the rest.

LADY GWEN could have more to offer for new trainer Kim Bailey and is selected to make light of a 3 lb rise for last month's course success. Recent Bangor scorer Long Call looks the obvious danger.

After a winning start for this yard here a month ago, LADY GWEN (nap) must have every chance of defying just a 3lb rise.

16:25 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 28f Race Class Flow

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

CALL OF THE LOON split a couple of useful rivals when a respectable second in a higher grade at Newton Abbot last time out and this provides him with a good chance of doubling his career tally over fences. Humps And Bumps wasn't beaten far here earlier in the month and is feared most over this longer trip. Deadly Missile completes the shortlist with cheekpieces now tried.

CALL OF THE LOON has held her form well since winning this last year so looks the solid option. Sharp Note is a big threat if shrugging off her latest run, with the in-form Cresswell Queen another to consider.

Whereas some of these are wickedly inconsistent, CRESSWELL QUEEN has strung some decent efforts together.

17:00 Stratford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

I LOOK HOW I LOOK is a full-sister to the multiple Grade 2 winner Nube Negra and she could be hard to stop on her racecourse bow. Mill House Creek shaped with promise on her debut last month and she ought to improve for that initial experience. Little Madam makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her first outing.

Irish-raider MILL HOUSE CREEK and Luna Breeze showed enough on their respective debuts to suggest that they would feature prominently in a race of this type. Preference is for the former, who was fourth behind a potentially useful one from the Willie Mullins yard at Killarney and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. That said, I Look How I Look and Little Madam are likely-looking newcomers and need close attention in the betting.

The eyes are drawn to I LOOK HOW I LOOK, a sister to Dan Skelton's top 2m chaser Nube Negra. Luna Breeze is second choice.

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.
