Stratford Avon Race 1 - 4 X 4 Tyres Mares' Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
POSH CHICK (4) Back from a 27 week break. Controlled the pace to win by 1/2L last run at Plumpton. Should be going forward early. Go close. SECRET DES LUNE (6) First up and did well when 2nd first up last preparation at Plumpton. Likely to be well placed early. Showing consistent performance in races. Expect to go close. CAPRICCIOSE (1) First up after a break of 33 weeks. Outpaced some runners late when 5th last time at Sandown and rising in trip. Shows good finishing speed. Promising career start. Will be there at the finish. WESTERN CHARM (9) Fresh today after a break of 28 weeks. Faded away to finish 5th last time at Wincanton. Should improve here and stepping up in distance. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Back after spell of 33 weeks. Jumped at $13.00 and overtook some late when 5th last time at Sandown and solid career start. Going over more ground. Very capable of taking this out.

Resumes from a spell of 28 weeks. Didn't finish in a hurdle at Newton Abbot. Might be ridden for luck. Jack Stenhouse provides some weight relief. Prefer others.

Racing fresh after a 38 week spell. Started $29.00 and came in 6th last start in a hurdle at Ludlow. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Looks highly doubtful.

Back after a 49 week break. Good run when finishing 2nd last start in a hurdle at Uttoxeter and fitter for debut run. Watch for a sign in the market.

First up and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at Plumpton. Should muster plenty of early toe. Putting a tidy record together so far. Good chance at a nice price.

First up from a break of 31 weeks and felt the pinch late when 2nd first up last preparation at Carlisle. Will be positive in the run early. Small possibility.

Started $21.00 and not competitive when 5th last run in a hurdle at Hereford but was a debutant last start. Stepping up in trip. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Fresh from a 28 week spell. Jumped at $3.50 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last time at Wincanton. Should improve here and going up in trip. Serious contender.
