5:10 Stratford Tips

A good contender for this race with a profit if places which it should. Has a decent shout of winning outright

Going for a Dutch as 365 have got these prices wrong. This one ran a cracking second behind a progressive stable changer last time out, with the third winning in good style next time out. A similar performance and he has to be going close.

Really looking forward to seeing this horse over a sharp 2m as I do think his stamina was stretched over 2m2f at Downpatrick on his last outing over hurdles. The five-year-old arrives on the back of a triumph on the level and he definitely has the ability to be scoring in today's discipline.

the model I run suggests an upset from Postponed Legacy. This horse isn't too fancied in the early market, but Postponed legacy lins up here with a comaratively high RPR and an official ranking leaving him well treated off this market. As a result, goes out carriyng the second lowest weight around this 2m, 13 runner handicap hurdle. Has shown bits of fomr ocmimng into this too with figures of 535-34 all over this 2m handicap hurdle distance. Visors tried or the first time to eek out the bit that's missing to get over the line first. Model has issued a 'very low' stake indicaotr whihc translates to a 0.5pt bet ona scal3 of 0-4.

Walk The Moon has had just 5 starts over hurdles and was 15l in front of Finn Russell at Wetherby in 2023 where he showed a real aptitude for this game. All hurdle starts since then ( bar one) have either been in better class or on softer ground. Has looked in good heart on recent flat runs and last hurdle start was here Oct 24 when he tried to make all but the softer ground found him out. He could bounce of the ground today and does get the trip so holds good EW appeal at the 20/1 available.
