Stratagem
Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls; in good form this spring for his current yard since undergoing wind surgery, scoring at Sedgefield (3m2f) before finishing a good fourth over 3m6f at Perth when set a lot to do; can go well eased 1lb here.

From the connections
“He's a lovely horse, a proper horse. I couldn't understand it when Stratagem pulled up at Hereford, he didn't jump or travel. He beat Solo at Auteuil and goes well at home. That was more like it today - David Maxwell, jockey.”
“Stratagem probably needed the race first time and he made a bit of a noise so he'll probably need a wind operation in the summer. This is probably a very nice horse, we may put him away and he'll go chasing next season - owner/jockey David Maxwell.”
