Stratford Avon Race 2 - Stratford Extra Raceday 'National Hunt' Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
The Dan Skelton team are responsible for four of these with EASTERN FIRE (3) the choice to ride of brother Harry. Landed a small field event in January (3200m) while latest in contention when falling at the last at Perth (4000m). Tongue tie goes on and rates an excellent chance to make amends. BLACKSWAN D'OROUX (1) is an interesting recruit for the yard. Well backed when trailing home eighth racing first up in January. Clearly thought capable of better. OYKEL BRIDGE (8) placed twice in jumpers flats last campaign. Set to stake a claim in a modest event. WALLQUATARI (10) managed second tackling a pair of hurdles in 2024-25. Holds ability to take a hand on reappearance.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished eighth of 11 runners at Exeter on January 9 over 3300m, 22 len behind Mortal Coil with 71kg at $3.50. Not to be underestimated.

Last start ran last at Plumpton on November 2 over 4100m, 79 len behind Bold Step with 72.5kg at $151. Before that made some head-way from midfield; ran last in a small field at Southwell on October 13 over 3200m, 11 len behind Masterius with 70kg at $51. Not sure he is up to this.

Previously second-up finished third of 9 starters at Necarne P2p on May 9 over 4828m, 25 len behind Certain Escape carrying 60kg. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
