UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Now that the penny has dropped for GRANDEUR D'AME over fences, there should be plenty more to come from Alan King's charge and he is fancied to overcome a 5lb rise for his most recent success at Huntingdon. A winner of two of his last four, Greenrock Abbey has been in terrific form of late and must enter calculations, along with Thelasthighking, who should come on for his chasing bow at Warwick.
Prediction : 1st Grandeur Dame 2nd Greenrock Abbey 3rd Thelasthighking

An impressive winner of the Victor Ludorum at Haydock last time out, this represents a steep drop in grade for BO ZENITH and he can take advantage, with the step up in trip expected to suit. He was touted as a potential Triumph Hurdle contender earlier in the season and he should have too much for the likes of Newbury second Bluegrass and Cabrakan, who is the only one proven at the distance so far.
Prediction : 1st Bo Zenith 2nd Cabrakan 3rd Bluegrass

ANIMAL had been running quite well prior to a listless effort at Uttoxeter last time out and it could be that the step up in trip helps him return to winning ways off a dropping handicap mark. A winner at Lingfield in December, Go Steady is well capable on his day and looks a key player in this company. Icaque De L'isle, who has improved with each run since joining current connections, must also be considered closely.
Prediction : 1st Animal 2nd Go Steady 3rd Icaque De Lisle

In This World beat the high-class Fil Dor on his sole outing in France and impressed when making a winning UK debut at Warwick in November 2021. He is a fascinating player making his handicap/seasonal bow off a mark of 131, but a race-fit GALICE MACALO gets the nod. She bolted up in handicap company at Chepstow two starts ago and certainly wasn't disgraced at Grade 2 level subsequently. Bombyx warrants respect from further down the weights.
Prediction : 1st Galice Macalo 2nd In This World 3rd Bombyx

TIME LEADER readily justified favouritism in a similar contest at Leicester and the second from that race has franked the form by winning since. A repeat performance could see him get the better of Marton Abbey, who will arrive full of confidence following a recent victory between the flags. Homme D'Un Soir boasts an official rating of 125 and warrants respect, but he was disappointing in a point-to-point at Sheriff Hutton in January.
Prediction : 1st Time Leader 2nd Marton Abbey 3rd Homme DUn Soir

CORNAMONA ran out an impressive winner between the flags in Ireland in December and has since joined the powerhouse stable of Nicky Henderson. She should know her job first time under Rules and makes slightly more appeal than Flying Fortune, who built on her encouraging debut performance when fourth in Listed company at Market Rasen last time. South Omo Zone and Saint Jaguen are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Cornamona 2nd Flying Fortune 3rd South Omo Zone
