Stratford Avon Race 3 - Ebf And Charlie Longsdon Racing 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 2)
FORTHFACTOR (4) Could build on a strong first up record. Ran home strongly to win last start at Aintree and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Rates a winning chance. ROCK ON RONNIE (6) First up after a break of 26 weeks. Caught the eye when 3rd last start at Perth. Has a nice turn of foot. Can measure up to this company. DRESSED OVERALL (9) 4yo by Flag Of Honour racing as a debutant for trainer Faye Bramley. Betting is the best guide. CHEAP SANDWICHES (2) Finished 5th last time in a hurdle at Chepstow. Should be going forward early. Has some strong credentials in this race.

Strong record when resuming. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Aintree and putting a tidy record together. Jockey Harry Skelton is a strong choice aboard. Great chance.

At $11.00 clearly outclassed when 12th last start in a hurdle at Worcester but having second career run. Harry Derham yard are on a hot streak. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

First up from a break. Started $11.00 and came in 6th last start at Fontwell but was on debut last time. Has early speed and positions nicely. Do not dismiss entirely.
