Stratford Avon Race 2 - Stratford Extra Raceday 'National Hunt' Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
EASTERN FIRE (3) Didn't finish in a hurdle at Perth on Oct 15th but showing improvement in recent outings. Should race on the speed. Harry Skelton is an advantage. Worth a bet. OYKEL BRIDGE (8) First up after 29 weeks and strong effort when finishing 3rd beaten by over 8L first up last preparation at Haydock. Showing consistent performance in races. Serious player. WALLQUATARI (10) First up from a break of 89 weeks. Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 2nd beaten by 4L last run in a hurdle at Market Rasen and promising career start. No shock to see a win. BATH TAVERNESS (11) Came in 5th last start in a hurdle at Hereford. Might have to make up considerable ground. Worth an investment.

Fresh from a 43 week spell. Started at $3.50 and gave away some ground when 8th last start at Exeter but fitter for debut run. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started at $151.00 and mediocre performance when 7th last time in a hurdle at Plumpton and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Unlikely to feature.

Failed to finish in a hurdle at Perth on Oct 15th but getting better in recent performances. Will be positive in the run early. Jockey Harry Skelton rates highly. Will be fighting out the finish.

Started $17.00 and came in 4th last start in a hurdle at Uttoxeter but was on debut last time. Elliott England provides some weight relief. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Started at $21.00 and finished 5th last start in a hurdle at Hereford. Does take a while to get into stride. Betting is the best guide.
