Stratford Avon Race 1 - Welcome To Family Day Juvenile Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Just a small field as you would expect for a three-year-old hurdle at this time of year. Dan Skelton saddles TINY RIOT (1) who gained a success making hurdle debut at Hexham. Not quite as effective last time under the penalty at Market Rasen but still should prove too good. LUCKY SEVENS (4) was not disgraced on initial jumps outing when runner up over course and distance a fortnight ago. Will have learned plenty and should give a bold sight. Hurdle debutante HELLO GARDA (2) comes across from Ireland and form has been limited to the level. Needs a personal best. JUST CALL ME MO (3) proved modest on the flat and looks up against it.

Racing well. Freshened for 30 days. Last run finished second in a small field at Market Rasen on June 12 over 3300m, 8 len behind Vietnorm carrying 73kg at $1.90. Start before favourite; won by 4.5 len Hexham on June 6 over 3200m defeating Sudbury Hill with 69kg at $4 in a hurdle. Great chance to go one better.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished tenth of 11 starters at Wolverhampton on April 27 over 2400m, 35 len behind Crown Inn To Win with 57kg at $41 and before that finished sixth of 9 runners at Wolverhampton on April 10 over 1900m, 11 len behind Three Socks On with 56kg at $23. Faces a tough essay.
