Stratford 4.50

By National Hunt UK (Robin T)

Stratford 4.50 Novice Handicap Chase - Class 5 - 2 miles and 1 furlong
 
A race where only may be 3 or 4 have solid chances based on known form.
 
Cawthorne and Court Jurado head the market, the former a bit unlucky to fall when running well last time out but possibly coming from the 3 mile P2P fields one who may be seen in better light when upped to 20 furlongs plus. Court Jurado is solid but comes off a run 2 days ago, if it's a non runner it will compact the market but still value to be had.
 
Getawaytonewbay is a horse on my Tracker but another i have earmarked for 2 1/2 miles plus as some promise in 3 mile P2P's.
 
That leaves the one who looks to have the breeding and background most suited to this trip and another who fell having run a promising race last time, although just tiring when falling late on. UNSAFE CONDUCT gets optimum trip, runs off a nice mark and it can pay to be prominent here and dictate pace and more important rhythm as the famous "hump" in the back stretch can get many a horse momentarily unbalanced if trying to make up too much ground.
 
Lee Edwards riding for Dave Roberts knows his way round this tricky track and at current odds looks some each way value.
 
TIP - UNSAFE CONDUCT.
