UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Heronord (first) and First Angel (third) renew their rivalry from Newton Abbot last month, where the former held the latter by 20 lengths, so it's hard to envisage that form being overturned, even with a 7lb swing in the weights. However, the one to be with is TRAPISTA, who was fourth at Bangor in this grade last time and she ought to go close off 1lb lower. Full Of Light needs to show more if he is to be involved at this level.
Prediction : 1st Trapista 2nd Heronord 3rd First Angel

JEEPYDOFF MEEL is the highest rated in this field and he hasn't finished outside of the first two since joining the Philip Kirby yard, so the five-year-old could prove tough to beat. The main threat might be Cheltenam De Vaige, who was hampered on the run-in at Market Rasen last time but still stayed on for second and he could have a say. Franz Klammer can beat Archie Macdart and The Rebel Breen home for third on his return.
Prediction : 1st Jeepydoff Meel 2nd Cheltenam De Vaige 3rd Franz Klammer

Presentandcounting won easily at Perth on his latest outing and is likely to have his supporters on the back of that effort. However, the vote goes to HANG IN THERE, who ran a big race to hit the frame in a valuable handicap over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last time. The nine-year-old should appreciate the drop in grade after the handicapper kindly dropped him 1lb. Noahthirtytwored completes the shortlist after his Uttoxeter third.
Prediction : 1st Hang In There 2nd Presentandcounting 3rd Noahthirtytwored

STAR LEGEND has shown an aptitude for jumping and has scope for further progression on just his third start in this discipline. Formerly with William Haggas on the Flat, the four-year-old is on a workable mark and should not be underestimated. Bahtiyar is notable returning after wind surgery on his first run for the Dan Skelton yard, while Cumhacht could also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Star Legend 2nd Bahtiyar 3rd Cumhacht

LONG CALL showed a likable attitude when a game winner back over hurdles at Bangor earlier in the month and just a 2lb higher mark creates strong hope for a follow-up success. Lady Gwen is an obvious danger given her tenacious performance when winning a mares race here last month and she is taken seriously off just 3lb higher. Herecomesfreddie and Deal Em High are the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Long Call 2nd Lady Gwen 3rd Herecomesfreddie

CALL OF THE LOON split a couple of useful rivals when a respectable second in a higher grade at Newton Abbot last time out and this provides him with a good chance of doubling his career tally over fences. Humps And Bumps wasn't beaten far here earlier in the month and is feared most over this longer trip. Deadly Missile completes the shortlist with cheekpieces now tried.
Prediction : 1st Call Of The Loon 2nd Humps And Bumps 3rd Deadly Missile

I LOOK HOW I LOOK is a full-sister to the multiple Grade 2 winner Nube Negra and she could be hard to stop on her racecourse bow. Mill House Creek shaped with promise on her debut last month and she ought to improve for that initial experience. Little Madam makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her first outing.
Prediction : 1st I Look How I Look 2nd Mill House Creek 3rd Little Madam
