Stratford Avon Race 2

Gambling Prince Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $14,760

ISKAR D'AIRY (3) enjoys fences. Provided second win in three starts scoring by 4L at Warwick (3267m). Another 3.5kg higher and unlikely to have stopped improving. SAILED AWAY (5) won tackling hurdles at Huntingdon (3922m) March 2024. Sparingly raced and competitive from this mark or higher since. Respect making stable and chase debut. Hurdling winner ASIAN STAR (2) finished last of five delivering initial chase outing at Southwell (3218m). Expected to do better in time. Course winner MARY (1) fell both chase starts. Might win on first occasion. Rates a chance if confidence unaffected.

Second-up today. Freshened for 45 days. First-up after four months finished 14th of 16 starters at Cheltenham on April 16 over 3380m, 20 len behind King William Rufus with 64.5kg at $17. Previously second-up finished ninth of 12 runners at Kelso on May 8 2024 over 3200m, 37 len behind Lily Du Berlais carrying 66kg at $8.50. Definite chance. Key runner - don't underestimate.

Second-up today. Fresh up after six months ran last in a small field at Southwell on May 20 over 3200m, 18 len behind Duke Of Luckley with 70kg at $5.50. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len Southwell on October 23 over 3200m defeating Mary carrying 70kg at $3.80 in a hurdle. Looks to be on the up and can take the next step.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 47 days. Last to post a big 4 len win. Warwick on April 14 over 3250m defeating Gwennie May Jem carrying 74.5kg at $3.80 in a steeplechase. The run before finished second in a small field at Hereford on March 26 over 3200m, 11 len behind Chestnut Pete carrying 75.5kg at $1.70. Rates well. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 37 days. Fresh up after five months finished fifth of 8 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on April 24 over 3900m, 64 len behind Rock Hurley carrying 73kg at $26. Previously second-up finished seventh of 12 starters at Leicester on November 18 over 4100m, 38 len behind Woodland Park carrying 71kg at $151. Can bounce back but needs to.
