LTO Selection:

14:07 Stratford Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Wallquatari represents the in-form Donald McCain stable and that suggests that the Waldpark gelding could go well under Brian Hughes, but preference remains with DENZIL. A full-brother to the classy Nube Negra, the Skelton team won this last year with an unraced gelding and may well do so again. That leaves Celestial Ruby to follow them home, unless the betting suggests otherwise.

No form to go on and the betting will be revealing, with DENZIL, brother to the yard's star performer Nube Negra, taken to make a successful start before market clues.

Dan Skelton won this race in 2023 and this year he introduces DENZIL, a brother to his high-class chaser Nube Negra.

Copshill Lad

2
2/1(+50%)
(2) Copshill Lad 2/1, Winless over hurdles but in good form until pulled up in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 8 months ago on his final run for Anthony Charlton. Cheekpieces on 1st time for new yard and has undergone breathing surgery so possibilities.
Off since a poor run in January but still looks very interesting on debut for Harry Derham.

11/1(+21%)
(5) Rebel Intentions 11/1, Scored at Ascot last November but only thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good) final run last spring. Not ruled out if back on his A-game.

5/1(+29%)
(8) Flashy Boy 5/1, Point winner who showed fair form over hurdles for Tom Lacey. Had a breathing operation prior to coming in a fair fifth on sole run for Fergal O'Brien in 21f Ludlow handicap in May. No forlorn hope for another new handler.
0-6 over hurdles and absent since spring but worth a market check before this stable debut.

Eurkash

3/1(+10%)
(9) Eurkash 3/1, On a losing run but he posted a very good second of 10 for his new yard in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good) 29 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Weighted to go well back in this sphere.
Bumped into much-improved rival when clear second over fences last month; big player.

Current Mood

12
12/1(-50%)
(1) Current Mood 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler at her best, though below that level last season over hurdles and fences. Needs to hit the ground running on her return.
Arrested decline with some respectable runs at end of last season but others appeal more.

Upthereforthinking

200
200/1(-506%)
(3) Upthereforthinking 200/1, Modest maiden over hurdles in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Not figured in pair of maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this summer and whilst the return to handicaps rates a plus, others appeal more.
Ex-Irish maiden; well beaten on both starts for new stable this summer.

7th (7) Razzo Italiano (7/1 -155%)
Razzo Italiano

7
7/1(-155%)

Got up close home to win over 2m on stable debut and now bids for a hat-trick; respected.

8th (6) Only Fools (8/1 -23%)
Only Fools

8/1(-23%)
(6) Only Fools 8/1, Scored at Newton Abbot in July. Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 82 days ago. Since had a wind op so needs considering.
Looked as good as ever in the summer; had wind-op during 82-day break.

Veteran; without a win since June 2022 and 10lb out of the weights here.

14:42 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Razzo Italiano looks for a hat-trick after wins here and at Worcester last month. He can go close, but the booking of Freddie Gingell to ride FLASHY BOY catches the eye. Making his first start for last year's winning trainer and his second run after a wind operation, the Sageburg gelding could surprise them all. Eurkash, Only Fools and Copshill Lad are others to consider.

EURKASH shaped well for his new handler when runner-up over fences at Fontwell and can capitalise on a lenient-looking mark back hurdling now. Razzo Italiano is feared most in his hat-trick bid, with Copshill Lad, Only Fools and Rebel Intentions all in the picture too.

The most interesting runner is arguably COPSHILL LAD, who makes his stable debut from a workable mark and with new headgear added.

(1) Vocito 6/1, In good form for new yard, winning twice over this trip at Worcester during the summer. Not disgraced in competitive Cartmel handicap latest and must enter calculations here.

Drew well clear of the others with a good yardstick when winning on bumper debut; player.

Westerton

Useful Flat racer at around 1m2f; could be dangerous at this level over hurdles.

Ronnies Rules

4

(6) Ronnies Rules 4/1, Irish point winner who has looked a useful recruit for new connections, bagging a hat-trick in bumpers at Stratford (16.3f, good) this summer. Big player now going hurdling.
Triple course bumper winner this summer; shortlisted on hurdling debut.

Remote when fourth on British point debut last spring; makes rules debut today.

15:17 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Vocito returns to novice company after struggling in a Cartmel handicap, but he has impressed at this level twice at Worcester and seems a decent sort. However, he has to give 12lb or more to his rivals here, including triple bumper winner Ronnies Rules, and the interesting WESTERTON. Alan King's four-year-old was last seen finishing third at Newcastle on the level and, with a peak Flat rating of 100, he is an interesting recruit if he takes to hurdling.

There should be more to come from RIDIN SOLO this season and he gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Hurdling-debutants Westerton and Ronnies Rules head the list of dangers.

A few of these have possibilities but LAURENS BAY made a pleasing start to his rules career in a bumper in March and gets the nod.

(4) Balkardy 14/1, Gained reward for consistency when gaining a first success of last season in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft) in February. Little impact all 3 subsequent starts, though, latest effort coming back over the larger obstacles in April. Plenty to prove.
Suffered bad slump in form after game hurdle win in February; back from a break today.

Mumford's Magic

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(5) Mumford's Magic 9/2, Fair maiden hurdler who was narrowly denied at Hexham last November. Well held at Huntingdon later that month and failed to progress stepping into handicap company at Sandown back in February. Market check advised on return/chase debut for top yard.
Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in February but may fare better now chasing.
3
3rd (3) The Boola Boss (7/1 -300%)
The Boola Boss

7
7/1(-300%)
(3) The Boola Boss 7/1, Showed improved form to notch a third victory over fences at this C&D (good) when last seen in May, albeit it was a thin race. 7 lb rise to contend with but that shouldn't prevent a bold bid on reappearance.
Made all over C&D in May but 7lb rise demands more and he may need the ground to dry out.
2
4th (2) Post Chaise (13/2 -225%)
Post Chaise

6.5
13/2(-225%)
(2) Post Chaise 13/2, Building a fine strike-rate over fences, notching a fifth win over the larger obstacles at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) when last seen in May (3-3 at that venue). Leading contender provided he's ready to roll.
Career-best form when winning over 3m3f in May; usual headgear missing after break.

Ballycamus

Won two chases last season and was still in good form in the spring when last seen.

15:52 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f  Race Class Flow

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

Last-time-out winner Post Chaise has improved for the application of blinkers and the lack of headgear on his return to action tempers enthusiasm. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on Nigel Twiston-Davies' BALLYCAMUS on his seasonal debut. The Naunton-based yard are flying at present and the seven-year-old looks to have more to offer over fences. C&D scorer The Boola Boss is feared most.

Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in fine order at present and his BALLYCAMUS is selected to make a winning return at the expense of The Boola Boss, who took his form up a notch when recording a third victory over fences at this C&D back in May. Post Chaise was another last-time-out winner, so he rounds off the shortlist on reappearance.

Two of these were last-time-out winners but this may be best left to BALLYCAMUS, who did well during his first season over fences.

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.

Eaton Anne

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.

Paddys Island

(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.

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.

8
6th (8) Quick Of The Night (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.

Respectable sixth in competitive series final last week but others appeal more here.

Hunter chase winner in the spring; tailed off over hurdles on recent stable debut.

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.

(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.

10l hurdle winner in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts; chase debut.

Has very mixed hurdle/Flat record this year; with yet another new yard for chasing debut.

Eric Carmen

(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.

Placed in modest C&D chase in July but subsequent form is uninspiring.

Toronet

(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.

Irish point winner; placed over hurdles on latest outing in May; appeals on chasing debut.

(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) 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.

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.

(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.

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.

Left Nicky Henderson after very poor debut in August; best watched on stable debut.
LTO Selection:

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.
