Had wind op before gaining breakthrough win in 3m2f handicap chase at Sedgefield and good third off 6 lb higher at Newcastle since. Sure to go well again.

8/1
Gained first win at 32nd attempt in Ffos Las handicap chase in February. Respectable third back hurdling at Huntingdon last month. Hood refitted and capable of getting involved back in this sphere.

It's now seventeen runs since last win in 2017, but he posted creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f) 20 days ago. Not ruled out off a reduced mark.

Fair chaser at his best but yet to hit form this term, pulled up over hurdles at Ludlow in December. Course winner but veteran needs to bounce back after his break.

Modest chaser who returned with good 3m Southwell second in August but he has run poorly all three starts since. Has serious questions to answer.

Point winner but only one effort of real note under Rules for various trainers and that came back in 2015. Makes little appeal.

Veteran chaser who gained a deserved victory in 2m4f handicap at Leicester before good fifth of 16 at Chepstow 28 days ago. Form been franked, and another bold showing is very much on the cards.

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who got right back on track when second of 8 in 3m2f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 17 days ago. Place claims off an unchanged mark.

Modest maiden for Gary Moore who has offered little all three runs for new yard, pulled up in first-time cheekpieces in Wincanton handicap chase last time. Significantly up in trip with lots to prove.

Modest winning chaser last term but hasn't hit top form so far this season and pulled up in Plumpton handicap 34 days ago. Others appeal more.

12:15 Stratford - 18 April 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

MIDNIGHT MUSTANG is well into his veteran stage but with his latest Chepstow fifth looking strong form for the grade he is fancied to add to his recent Leicester success. Furius De Ciergues has much fewer miles on the clock and rates a big danger on the back of his good Newcastle third. with long-standing maiden Taboo appealing as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.

  1. MIDNIGHT MUSTANG
  2. FURIUS DE CIERGUES (FR)
  3. TABOO (IRE)
