UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Never No Trouble and Fabreze arrive after some improved recent efforts and are noted despite them creeping up in the weights. However, NOONIE, who was a respectable second in a similar race over 2m here three starts back, could be the way to go given she has more scope to improve over this trip. The daughter of Almanzor is still unexposed over timber and has extended appeal on these terms having been nudged down 1lb since last time.
Prediction : 1st Noonie 2nd Never No Trouble 3rd Fabreze

SAXON QUEEN remains unexposed and heads the shortlist after a game success over this trip in a three-runner event at Newton Abbot last month. That was her best effort yet and a 2lb higher mark is hardly restrictive. Classic Concorde looks the main threat after he appeared revitalised when back over hurdles for the first time in just over a year with a good second at Worcester 13 days ago. Bright Sunbird and Testflight are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Saxon Queen 2nd Classic Concorde 3rd Bright Sunbird

CRACKING DESTINY is effective at this course and, off just 5lb higher than his comfortable C&D success from 19 days ago, he is a strong candidate to follow up, despite this being a slightly deeper race. Sir Tivo is another that has shown a decent level of form here and commands respect, especially as the in-form Sean Bowen is back in the saddle. Blueberry Wine is also taken seriously off an 8lb higher mark than last month's Aintree success.
Prediction : 1st Cracking Destiny 2nd Sir Tivo 3rd Blueberry Wine

TITANIUM MOON has barely put a foot wrong since beginning her career over hurdles and the four-timer could well be on the cards after another bloodless success at Cartmel earlier in the month. A winner here over further on her penultimate start, she can get the better of double C&D winner Carrigeen Kampala, who arrives with similar claims. The Punt can pick up the pieces if either of the first two falter.
Prediction : 1st Titanium Moon 2nd Carrigeen Kampala 3rd The Punt

OPENING BID is in the form of his life at present and Chris Down's gelding could prove a tough nut to crack having landed the hat-trick over C&D earlier in the month. The eight-year-old remains unexposed at this distance and should have too much for the likes of Norley, who almost got back to winning ways at Bangor-on-Dee last month, and Gold Link.
Prediction : 1st Opening Bid 2nd Norley 3rd Gold Link

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY didn't have to improve much from first to second start when getting off the mark at Worcester last time out and there should be more to come again as the four-year-old starts life for new connections. Fellow winner Jeudidee looks to be his main danger, along with Irish recruit Minella Rescue, who shaped with promise at Tipperary in May. Newcomer Phantom Gold and Tineggiori can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Thirtyfour Thirty 2nd Jeudidee 3rd Minella Rescue
