Stratford Avon Race 4 - Clear Insurance Management Hcp Hurdle

A three-runner contest in which tactics and pace could come to the fore. EDELAK (3) built on a Market Rasen maiden hurdle second with a very soft Huntingdon win tackling 3200m by 6L and that latest effort makes him a strong contender again. Holds leading claims. MACHETE BEACH (1) is unbeaten this campaign after scoring at Hereford then following up attempting 3700m at this track by 1.3L. Likely to measure up once more. Represents the main danger eased in trip. HOOPER (2) was only fifth contesting 3200m at Ludlow on stable debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Might come forward for that return. Makes some appeal.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 37 days. Fresh up after about 18 months finished fifth of 7 runners at Ludlow on May 10 over 3200m, 24 len behind Pergamon carrying 73kg at $17. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; finished ninth of 11 runners at Warwick on December 12 2024 over 4200m, 58 len behind Mr Hope Street carrying 77kg at $34. Genuine type but may need more time.
