UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

EVITA DU MESNIL won three bumpers in France last year and that form suggests that she could be hard to beat on her debut for these connections. Valse Au Taillons is an obvious threat following her easy 11-length victory at Ffos Las earlier in the month. Miss Brooklyn edges out Cape Fair to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Evita Du Mesnil 2nd Valse Au Taillons 3rd Miss Brooklyn

GOLDSLINGER was only beaten a neck on his latest start over hurdles and a reproduction of that effort should be good enough to win this contest, as long as he takes to the larger obstacles. Old Harry Rocks hit the crossbar last time out at Newton Abbot in April and he should go well once again. Ballina Lady and Starlight Court both merit consideration having won between the flags in recent weeks.
Prediction : 1st Goldslinger 2nd Old Harry Rocks 3rd Ballina Lady

LOCK'S CORNER failed to go on from a promising hurdling debut at Huntingdon back in February with two below par efforts at Warwick. That said, he still has plenty of potential and could have more to offer now switching to handicap company. Graceland improved for a wind operation when scoring at Cartmel last month and is respected off 3lb higher, while the drop in trip could see Deputy Jones take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Locks Corner 2nd Graceland 3rd Deputy Jones

RONAVA ran well on his debut for Dr Richard Newland when third at Worcester 17 days ago and a repeat of that effort can see him prove too strong for these rivals. The booking of Richard Johnson could see Streets Of Milan improve from his most recent start in a hunters' chase at Kelso, while Play The Ace has dropped considerably down the weights and might bounce back with blinkers fitted.
Prediction : 1st Ronava 2nd Streets Of Milan 3rd Play The Ace

ADJUTANT was a decent miler on the Flat and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles at this venue 17 days ago. The sharp track looks to suit and he can follow up under a penalty. Thaqaffa was once rated as high as 82 on the level and would have a definite chance if taking to this discipline, while Maliboo is another name to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Adjutant 2nd Thaqaffa 3rd Maliboo

OUR JERRY is an intriguing Irish raider for trainer Evanna McCutcheon and doesn't have too many miles on the clock for his age. The son of Jeremy, who is versatile regards ground conditions, can defy a revised English mark of 101. Chilli Romance performed well at Huntingdon last month following a break and is respected, while Eolian has some decent form in the book and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Our Jerry 2nd Chilli Romance 3rd Eolian
