Favourites include joint favourites. Dimmed rows have fewer than 30 runs. Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation at SP. Favourite-heavy samples naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". £1 P/L is level stakes at SP.

About Stratford

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, beside the River Avon — jumps only, turf.
  • Shape: Left-handed, flat and sharp, about 1m2f round, with a short run-in from the last.
  • Season: Racing from March to October, so most of the programme is summer jumping.

Going and the seasons

  • Summer: Good or good to firm is usual, with watering; soft ground is uncommon outside the spring and autumn.

Signature races and fixtures

  • Programme: Summer handicap chases and hurdles, with a trial for Market Rasen's Summer Plate in June.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: By road from the M40 (junction 15) and the A46 with parking on site; Stratford-upon-Avon station is about a mile away.
  • Viewing: A tight course with most of the action close to the stands.
