Stratford Avon Race 1 - George Wood Years Of Service Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
HORNICA (3) remains a maiden after five starts. Managed to take big steps forward past two outings including as a beaten favourite at Ludlow when last seen in February. Better ground could be a help and looks the one to beat. YELD TO CALL (11) had been progressive before pulling up in a valuable contest at Kelso last month adopting a first time tongue strap. Capable of bouncing back. MISS DENVER (8) weakened out of things at Chepstow in latest. Still warrants consideration with a view to future handicaps. LADY KARA (4) maintains fair form from her runs in jumpers flat events. Needs to raise her game.

Recent form impressive for this race. Resumes off a 60 day letup. Last outing sat on speed throughout then finished third of 12 runners at Ludlow on February 18 over 3200m, slow track; 4 len behind Misterdoc with 67.5kg at $2.20. Run before finished second in a small field at Windsor on January 18 over 3200m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Getawhisky with 71kg at $6.50. Sure to improve again. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Resumes off a 29 day letup. Last start pulled up at Kelso on March 21 over 3200m. Run before sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 7 runners at Taunton on February 3 over 3300m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Beauty In The Park with 71kg at $5.50. Gets a chance to win. Forgive that run and she is among the better hopes.
