UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

WHAT WILL BE finished second to a promising type who had the benefit of experience at Market Rasen last month and looks capable of landing this similar contest. The three-year-old showed glimpses of ability on the Flat and could strike under Richard Johnson. Two Blondes was third in the same contest and will make the selection work hard for it, while So I'm Told and Smoki Smoka need market checks trying this sphere for the first time.
Prediction : 1st What Will Be 2nd Two Blondes 3rd Smoki Smoka

IUSETALUVHERONCE wears cheekpieces for the first time and could claim a deserved success after returning to form when third over this course and distance four weeks ago. He probably did too much too early in that race and would be very competitive if given a more patient ride. Kahdian continues to go well in defeat and can claim one of these before the end of the summer, while Mister Mister outran his odds when fourth at Worcester earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Iusetaluvheronce 2nd Kahdian 3rd Mister Mister

ADJUTANT looks progressive and could claim a hat-trick for Olly Murphy in this sphere after two impressive C&D victories. An opening handicap mark of 130 seems to be more than fair and this four-year-old shaped last time as though there was plenty more under the bonnet. Teqany is an interesting recruit to these shores now representing Fergal O'Brien, while Pershing returned to form when landing the spoils at Huntingdon in May and goes well on this summer ground.
Prediction : 1st Adjutant 2nd Teqany 3rd Pershing

BETWEEN THE WATERS has returned this year looking better than ever and, despite a 5lb rise for scoring at Ffos Las most recently, Jamie Snowden's in-form eight-year-old is very much the one to beat. Arthur's Sixpence made a promising start to his chasing career when runner-up at Newton Abbot and ought to show up well again in first-time cheekpieces, while last year's winner What A Laugh also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Between The Waters 2nd Arthurs Sixpence 3rd What A Laugh

Dan Skelton won this race last year and Uttoxeter scorer Simply Loveleh is very much his main hope today (also saddles Aweeminit), but preference is for the less exposed VINNIE'S GETAWAY. Olly Murphy's charge won a course bumper by 12 lengths earlier in the month and jumping is unlikely to be an issue, having won a Borris House point-to-point event last December. Royal Road looks to be improving and could prove a popular each-way selection.
Prediction : 1st Vinnies Getaway 2nd Simply Loveleh 3rd Royal Road

ATLANTIC STORM accounted for Regulation by three-quarters of a length when winning over course and distance 12 days ago and a 2lb swing in the weights may not be enough for the latter to reverse that form today. Hidden Charmer put in an encouraging performance last time out and he is another with valid form claims, while King Alfonso completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Atlantic Storm 2nd Regulation 3rd Hidden Charmer

RASASEE was an impressive winner on his debut for this yard at Worcester on Monday and that form suggests that a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Sin Sin has been knocking hard on the door of late and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Caveat Emptor and Black Anthem.
Prediction : 1st Rasasee 2nd Sin Sin 3rd Caveat Emptor
