WELCOME

Thank you once again for Stratford-on-Avon Racecourse for hosting the second occasion that the recycling industry has come together to sponsor every race at a meeting.

After our successful themed day in October 2022, we are looking forward to having another opportunity to publicise the vital work of the recycling industry.

Many of our Members who are here today do a great job of recycling the materials that are collected from your homes and businesses and turning them back into new products Today gives us the chance to highlight some of that great work.

I wish you a great day’s racing and the best of luck!

With best wishes,

Paul Sanderson, Chief Executive, The Recycling Association

HOW TO BET WITH A BOOKMAKER

1. Pick your Racehorse, look around for the best odds on course, try to proffer the correct stake money for your wager

3. Should your horse happen to win, present your betting ticket to the bookmaker, check your winnings.

4. Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, ie. for a win or a place.

5. In the unlikely event of a dispute after adhering to this procedure, the bookmaker will tell the punter to approach the Ring Official, who will advise the racegoer as to his rights

6. Some course bookmakers have minimum stakes. e.g. £1, £5 or £10 but small backers are catered for in the racecourse Betting Shops.

RACE SUMMARY:

A leap of faith is required in supporting TOP CLOUD yet he remains sufficiently unexposed to think he can improve in handicaps and, making his debut for a yard amongst the winners, he could just be worth chancing without the benefit of market clues. Cawthorne Lad and Dynamic Kate are others to consider, whilst Sir Rock has the ability to play a part, provided he consents to set off this time.

RACE SUMMARY:

The market should reveal plenty here but Olly Murphy has his string in excellent nick so his SCHMILSSON, a fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding, is taken to defy a long absence and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Shinji brings fairly useful bumper form to the table and is greatly respected on his hurdles bow, while the ex-Irish pair Dixie Flyer and Shetland Tony have the form to play a part too if at their best on their respective debuts for new handlers.

RACE SUMMARY:

A low-grade event that can see TIME TO BITE make a successful return. He was second in this last year and has shown more than enough to take a race like this with a decent round of jumping. Famoso is a winner already over these fences and could figure back here if he stays. An improved showing from Bari Breeze fitted with cheekpieces for his in-form yard wouldn’t be a total surprise.

RACE SUMMARY:

Easily the most appealing of these is ALLO ALLO, who possesses the potential to develop into a useful chaser judged on what he showed in 3 starts in this sphere last term. The 7-y-o did the job well when opening his account over fences at Bangor in April, for which a 6lb rise is fair The hat-trick seeking Jigginstown King is likely to emerge as the main threat given that Sublime Heights, though talented, now looks a shade too high in the weights and hasn’t won away from Plumpton under Rules.

RACE SUMMARY:

An interesting bumper to conclude. MOON CHIME ran to quite a useful level when successful on his debut in the spring and might be up to defying a penalty with improvement on the cards. Bahio Boum is respected on the back of a promising first run, while Boy From Brazil, Wilful and Yalla Habibi are bumper newcomers from stables with good records in these events.
