UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

YCCS PORTOCERVO didn't do much wrong under a penalty when second at Worcester four weeks ago and could improve now stepped up in distance for Dr Richard Newland. The four-year-old would be difficult to stop if running to his official rating of 127 and appeals more than Emerald Rocket, who has finished in the first three in his last four starts. It is still early days for Right Destination with Fergal O'Brien and he looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Yccs Portocervo 2nd Emerald Rocket 3rd Right Destination

Grageelagh Girl seemed to relish the drop in trip when second at Ffos Las last month and isn't sure to do quite as well back over further, while Regulation put in a rare poor effort here 18 days ago and could take a step back in the right direction. Slight preference is for TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS, who seemed progressive prior to unseating his rider at Uttoxeter 15 days ago. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge is only five and has more scope than most here.
Prediction : 1st Topofthecotswolds 2nd Grageelagh Girl 3rd Regulation

DOUBLY CLEVER won a seller before finishing second to an Irish raider in this format 11 days ago and could make a winning stable debut for Johnny Farrelly. Only a seven-year-old and dropped back to the minimum 2m distance, he won't get too many better chances than this to add to his career tally. Capitoul takes a big drop in class for Dr Richard Newland but isn't the force of old, while Clearance is another name to note.
Prediction : 1st Doubly Clever 2nd Capitoul 3rd Clearance

QUINTO ran out a game winner on his most recent start at Newton Abbot in May and a 7lb rise on this occasion may not be enough to stop the seven-year-old from striking again. Iusetaluvheronce was disappointing on his latest start here, but he could bounce back for the step up in distance. Others to consider include Canny Tom and Johnny Og.
Prediction : 1st Quinto 2nd Iusetaluvheronce 3rd Canny Tom

SIMPLY LOVELEH has won her last two outings in novice company, including over C&D on her most recent appearance, and she appears capable of taking a step forward on her handicap debut. Green Or Black won well in the end at Cartmel, having been left in front at the last by a faller, and she is likely to pose a solid threat along with Graceland, who is better than her Southwell effort last time suggests.
Prediction : 1st Simply Loveleh 2nd Green Or Black 3rd Graceland

CODE OF LAW was an impressive seven-length winner over course and distance last month and he is hard to oppose today, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings. Golander ran well between the flags earlier in the year and he has to be noted now back under Rules. Sir George Somers should also be respected, while Prettylittlething would have claims based on her recent win but she was due to run at Perth yesterday.
Prediction : 1st Code Of Law 2nd Golander 3rd Sir George Somers

NORTH STAR OSCAR got off the mark at Ffos Las last time out and that form was boosted when the second won on his next start. With that in mind, a 4lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop this five-year-old form taking this contest as well. Nordenfelt hit the crossbar at Uttoxeter when last seen and he should be in the mix once again, while Show's Over is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st North Star Oscar 2nd Nordenfelt 3rd Shows Over
