13/2
Successful handicap debut at Newbury in November 2018. Seen out only twice since and was last of 8 back from another long absence at Kelso in May. Bit to prove.

Successful over C&D off 5 lb lower mark last summer, but not in the same form since and still looks a bit high in the weights.

Has thrived since joining this yard and added to his tally with a career best at Hexham in April. In the frame both starts since, so another bold showing on the cards.

4/1
Prolific over fences in 2019 and, though he hasn't fired over hurdles on his last four outings, he might strip fitter for his latest effort at Stratford. Makes plenty of appeal.

Resumed winning ways back over hurdles in determined fashion at Uttoxeter in May and wasn't discredited in a competitive handicap chase there next time. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Ask Paddington (6/4), Havana Hermano (11/4), Black Mischief (7/2), Caius Marcius (4/1), Mr One More (6/1), French Crusader (13/2), Cubswin (16/1)

Verdict

CAIUS MARCIUS is well treated and liable to strip fitter for his reappearance at Stratford, so he gets the nod in a tightly-knit handicap hurdle. Black Mischief, who seemed to retain plenty of ability returning from an absence at Aintree last time, ranks as the main danger ahead of Ask Paddington.

  1. CAIUS MARCIUS (IRE)
  2. BLACK MISCHIEF
  3. ASK PADDINGTON (IRE)
