2.47 Stratford: Range

Range fell twice last season and definitely had issues with his jumping. However, it is likely that he would have won but for knuckling on landing on his seasonal reappearance last term, and if Sam Thomas has done any work on his jumping, the eight-year-old could  show improved form this season and win off today’s mark.
He still won a race at Chepstow on his second start and ran well on his final start of the season when second at Uttoxeter, and with this course's relatively easy fences compared to the bigger tracks, it looks a good place to start this season.

3.47 Stratford: Fatique De L’Isle 

I expected Fatique De L’Isle to go up by more than 6lb so easily did he win at Uttoxeter last season. He is 19lb higher than when he won his first chase for James Owen last season, but he is still below the mark he won off for his previous trainer.
Clearly Fatique De L’Isle has the back form to justify support off today’s mark of 94, especially as Stratford is a track that favours his front-running style more than most. Lucy Turner gets on well with the eight-year-old and has won on him three times already, and the trip is also ideal.

6.15 Chelmsford: Fouette 

James Horton has not had the best of luck in recent times but things might have turned a little with this filly who made a highly encouraging comeback when making her seasonal reappearance just a few weeks ago.
Fouette was making her all-weather debut under today’s jockey and was a 25-1 shot, but her win was certainly no fluke as she stayed on nicely to win by a length and a quarter. 
She has a good enough draw in stall 5 and is in a race set to be run at a strong pace which should suit her running style. She looks an exciting prospect for the autumn.
