Stratford Place 6 Preview | 12th July

13.50 Welcome To Family Day Juvenile Hurdle

LUCKY SEVENS might be able to beat Tiny Riot in the opener. He shaped well when second over C&D on hurdles debut despite not jumping at all that well and is sure to improve with that run under his belt. He can pose a serious threat.

Tips: LUCKY SEVENS

14.25 Next Sunday Is Ladies Day Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle

BITS BALLOU made a bold bid from the front when runner-up at Newton Abbot and has only been raised a pound for that effort in defeat. She is sure to have more to offer and can go one place better in this winnable event.

Tips: BITS BALLOU

15.00 Gary Hubball’s 60th Celebration Year Novices’ Handicap Chase

ARTISTE D’AINAY weakened tamely at Worcester last time out but should be able to fare better on chase debut and had previously won easily at Southwell. Up against mostly an exposed bunch, the eight-year-old is worth a chance.

Tips: ARTISTE D’AINAY

15.35 University Hospitals Birmingham Charity Maiden Hurdle

GAMBINO gained a win and two placed efforts in his first three starts on the Flat before he made a promising start to his hurdles when third a Newbury. He was only seventh in the Queen’s Cup back on the flat last time out but has more to come back in this sphere and can go well.

Tips: GAMBINO

16.10 Visit Zoolab In The Centre Course Handicap Chase

PERSON OF INTEREST made it second time lucky for this stable when scoring at Uttoxeter and remains well treated on his form when trained in Ireland. He should take all of the beating with Harry Cobden retained.

Tips: PERSON OF INTEREST

16.45 Try Our Picnic Package Handicap Hurdle

It’s hard to see past EDELAK, who has bolted up on his last three starts and has a fantastic opportunity to go in again off an unchanged mark. The four-year-old has probably not finished improving either, so he should be able to justify favouritism.

Tips: EDELAK
