Comment Not at best when making the frame on his two starts in March; others appeal more ============================================================================== HEAD-TO-HEAD (1 past meetings between today's runners) ============================================================================== 2026-05-17 · Stratford · 2m6½f · Class 4 · Good To Firm Ladies Day On Sunday 19th July Handicap Chase (GBB Race) 1 Bagheera Ginge (GB) won SP 9/1 2 Grillon De Monty (FR) 7.00L SP 28/1 3 Arrycan (IRE) 48.00L SP 13/2 4 Tapley (GB) 12.00L SP 6/4F PU King Roly (GB) SP 2/1 PU Okavango Delta (IRE) SP 7/1 ============================================================================== AI RACE VERDICT ============================================================================== Pace scenario: Likely truly-run on good-to-firm with Bagheera Ginge keen to roll along up front; the steady-tempo chasers like Tapley and King Roly are well-placed to track and pounce on what should be a strongly-galloped staying test. Narrative: Small-field Class 4 chase with two clear form picks at the top — King Roly and Tapley share the highest ratings and both ran credibly last month. King Roly is the most progressive profile: top RPR, last-season chase wins at similar trips, only 25 days off and from a yard in better current touch. Tapley brings a C&D win and consistent placed form but the Suzy Smith yard is quiet (0 wins in 14 days). Okavango Delta is the Racing Post nap on the strength of a fresh record and Sean Bowen's booking, but he's rated 5 lb below the principals on RPR and represents a weak trainer Elo (1390). The rest are layoff-plagued or outclassed. Recommended: King Roly Top RPR (128), three chase wins last season at very similar trips on this ground, ran better than the 18l Perth margin suggests after a layoff last time, and now has the benefit of that run 25 days ago. James Bowen/Mickey Bowen combo is consistent and the longer trip is a positive. Alternative: Tapley C&D winner in March, consistent placed form (42313-), and the only other runner with a credible recent run. The cold yard tempers enthusiasm but the horse Elo of 1710 is the highest in the field by a clear margin. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-27 18:35 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11928384
