Stratford Avon Race 1 - Julie Satterley Waving Goodbye To 49 Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

MACHETE BEACH (1) looks the one to beat after a dominant last-start win at Hereford over 3267m on good ground, scoring by 12L. MASKARVEL (3) rates the main danger, coming off back-to-back runner-up efforts at Aintree over 3409m (beaten 5.94L) and Huntingdon over 3173m (beaten 2.5L). USYK (4) has the Market Rasen second over 3332m last July and can feature if recapturing that form. TAKE THE BOAT (7) has recent flat placings at Chelmsford and Salisbury and gets in light, which could help on hurdles return.
