UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Ga Law makes his UK debut following an impressive display at Argentan in October, when scoring by seven and a half lengths, but Jamie Snowden's new recruit could have his work cut out against rivals boasting more experience. With that in mind, preference is for THE PINK'N as he has been acquitting himself well in decent juvenile contests of late, including when third to Sir Psycho at Haydock, and the drop in grade will suit. Elysian Flame completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Pinkn 2nd Ga Law 3rd Elysian Flame

DESTINED TO SHINE benefited from the drop back in trip when scoring at Uttoxeter last month and a 7lb rise from the handicapper might not be enough to stop Kerry Lee's gelding from making it two wins on the bounce. Darling Alko returns after three months off the track and is open to further improvement on only his third start over fences, while others to note include Fanzio and Grania O'Malley.
Prediction : 1st Destined To Shine 2nd Darling Alko 3rd Fanzio

NOT A ROLE MODEL was pulled up on his most recent outing at Market Rasen in June when unable to follow up his success at Fontwell the time before. That said, the combination of subsequent wind surgery and the application of a tongue-tie could make the difference required with Brian Hughes a notable jockey booking. Eceparti is capable of bouncing back from a rare blip at Sedgefield last time, while a visor could aid the cause of Antony.
Prediction : 1st Not A Role Model 2nd Eceparti 3rd Antony

TIDAL FLOW wasn't disgraced trying to give Burbank 10lb in a handicap at Newbury over Christmas and, back in novice company off level weights, is fancied to return to winning ways. The seven-year-old handles soft ground well and may have too much for Senior Citizen, who needs to prove himself over this far, and Moonlighter, who drops in class after running in the Grade 2 Kingmaker at Warwick. Financier struck at Ludlow last time but might struggle to repeat that here.
Prediction : 1st Tidal Flow 2nd Moonlighter 3rd Senior Citizen

LE CAMELEON opened his account over 2m at Chepstow on his penultimate start and, after finishing second over further at the same venue a few weeks later, is fancied to take the beating back over his preferred distance. The five-year-old had some smart novice/bumper form behind the likes of McFabulous and Sporting John, and could prove too strong for Esprit De Baileys, who is unexposed over hurdles but hasn't been seen for 450 days. Capital Force is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Le Cameleon 2nd Esprit De Baileys 3rd Capital Force

RISK AND ROLL defied a 215-day absence to score on his hunter chase debut at Leicester last month and everything points to another bold showing now his career is back on track. Nicola Sheppard's charge is relatively young for this discipline at the age of six and might be able to take another leap forward. O Ceallaigh was beaten 18 lengths at Ludlow last month but still performed creditably, so he's noted along with Chase Me.
Prediction : 1st Risk And Roll 2nd O Ceallaigh 3rd Chase Me

STAITHES won a point-to-point impressively in March last year and now debuts for the powerful Nicky Henderson stable on his Rules bow. Expected to have been well readied for this assignment, it would come as no surprise if he made a winning start for Seven Barrows and was above-average going forward. Grumpy Charley is a player on his third at Exeter last April and joins African Dance on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Staithes 2nd Grumpy Charley 3rd African Dance
