Three chase wins last season but below par in 2 outings at Bangor at the start of the summer. Reverts to hurdles after 3 months off (never won in this sphere).

Got off the mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Hereford in December but not seen again until a below-par fifth over 18.5f here at the beginning of July. Off another 10 weeks since.

Fair Flat winner for James Fanshawe but modest form at best in maiden hurdles for current stable and her opening handicap mark in this sphere isn't obviously generous.

Off the mark in gritty fashion in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March and set to be placed when pulled up and dismounted before 3 out at Ludlow in April. First start since.

Showed the immediate benefit of a switch to James Owen with a comfortable C&D win 19 days ago. Could easily have more to offer for his prolific new stable and can make light of an 8 lb rise.

Placed twice in C&D handicaps this summer, latterly 4½ lengths third of 11 to Jet Patrol 19 days ago. Should give another good account but even an 8 lb pull in the weights may not be enough for her to turn the tables on James Owen's charge.

Placed at Worcester on first 2 starts when visored but his run of good form in the headgear came to a halt back there 7 weeks ago.

Fair Flat winner who ran comfortably her best race over hurdles when fourth of 15 in 2m Worcester handicap (good) in July. Would have been a bit closer but for trouble in running. Enters the reckoning.

Four-time winner on the Flat (all AW). Yet to win over hurdles but runner-up 3 times at Newton Abbot this summer, including on latest start 16 days ago. Ought to be competitive again.

Remains with few miles on the clock and he stepped up on his reappearance/stable debut effort when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) in June. This drop back to 2m isn't sure to play to his strengths, though.

Fair winner of the Flat but exposed as a poor maiden over hurdles, finishing 10½ lengths fifth of 11 to Jet Patrol over C&D 19 days ago. Likely to find at least a few too strong again.

Forecasts

Jet Patrol (4/5), Basilette (13/2), Timeforarum (13/2), Hill Station (8/1), Graecia (11/1), Granny B (18/1), Danny's Friend (18/1), Lady Caro (25/1), Boskill Borden (28/1), Chips And Rice (66/1), Famoso (66/1)

18:55 Stratford - 6 September 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

JET PATROL had something to spare when making a winning start for the James Owen yard here last month and an 8 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him following up. Graecia was quite a promising fourth at Worcester last time and might provide the main threat ahead of Basilette, who was third to the selection last time.
