UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

This can go the way of TRICK OF THE TAIL, who has improved with each start in this sphere and must hold strong claims if building on a career-best effort when second at Bangor-on-Dee last month. Outsmart shaped well at Market Rasen when second on his hurdling debut and a subsequent spin on the level at York will have kept him ticking over nicely, while Thorpeness is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Trick Of The Tail 2nd Outsmart 3rd Thorpeness

ROCK ON HARRY may be beginning to get the hang of things over hurdles and he shaped well for a long way at Uttoxeter last month. He can regain the winning thread, with Fandabidozi and Callin Baton Rouge, who ran a highly encouraging race at Cartmel, looking best placed to chase him home. Sobegrand could be interesting on his debut in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Rock On Harry 2nd Callin Baton Rouge 3rd Fandabidozi

FOREVER A DOVE may have disappointed under a penalty at Cartmel last time out, but the form of that race has worked out well and, more to the point, he was a taking winner here over shorter on his penultimate start. If bouncing back to that form, he should have enough to see off the like of Clean Getaway and Uggy Uggy Uggy, who hails from the in-form Milton Harris yard.
Prediction : 1st Forever A Dove 2nd Uggy Uggy Uggy 3rd Clean Getaway

Not beaten far over C&D last month and a taking winner over further here in May, ADMIRAL'S SUNSET has been a different proposition since undergoing wind surgery and a fifth career win could be in the offing for the 10-year-old. Sao hinted at a return to winning ways with his second at Perth, while C&D winner Sea Prince is another leading contender.
Prediction : 1st Admirals Sunset 2nd Sao 3rd Sea Prince

Irish raider Nasee appeals from the bottom of the weights and he is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first run over hurdles on these shores since he joined Shark Hanlon. However, RED FORCE ONE appeals most based on recent form and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him following up his Huntingdon success. Pink Eyed Pedro is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Red Force One 2nd Nasee 3rd Pink Eyed Pedro

Some in-form rivals are set to make this an interesting clash, with Line Of Descent, who is respected under a 7lb penalty after his 2m4f win at Southwell, and Go Fox, a winner over 2m here last time out, both highly recommended. However, the hat-trick seeking OPENING BID shades preference given the manner of his two recent victories suggests a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to stop him going in again.
Prediction : 1st Opening Bid 2nd Line Of Descent 3rd Go Fox

Plaisir Des Flos and Apache Princess both need to improve, so it might be best to side with FORT RANDALL, who showed promise despite running green at Ballinrobe in May. His trainer has an impressive strike-rate on his travels to the UK and he looks likely to be a popular choice. Frites and Private Walker appeal on pedigree and can give the selection something to think about.
Prediction : 1st Fort Randall 2nd Frites 3rd Private Walker
