Stratford Avon Race 1 - George Wood Years Of Service Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
LADY KARA (4) First up from a break of 21 weeks and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at Newton Abbot. Shows good early pace. Has genuine claims in this race. HORNICA (3) Ran 3rd last start in a hurdle at Ludlow. Respect in this event. MERELY A DETAIL (7) First up and rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 3L first up last preparation in a hurdle at Worcester. Underrated. WILLOW EDGE (10) Jack Hobbs 7yo trained by Richard Phillips on debut. Watch betting.

Fresh from a spell. Started at $23.00 and didn't threaten when 13th last time at Warwick but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the run. Struggle to recommend.

First up from a break. Started at $126.00 and below par when 5th last start in a hurdle at Hereford but having second career run. Seems unlikely.
