Stratford Avon Race 3 - Happy 70Th Birthday Steve Parsons Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

CLASSIC KING (1) returns to chasing competing off a lower rating. Reasonable hurdling form this season before being set a stiff task at Cheltenham last time. Leading contender providing jumping can hold together. LUNAR DISCOVERY (2) concluded a busy autumn campaign with a 4L victory at Chepstow. Raised in the handicap for that performance however fresh from a break rates a likely challenger. KILBARRY HILL (5) has been below form this season. Can now operate from his last winning mark. Chance if rediscovering old spark. TAPLEY (4) is an honest front runner who frequently finds a couple too good. Each way chance.
