UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Having returned to form with a close-up second at Cartmel a fortnight ago, this looks a suitable opportunity for GAVIN to dominate his rivals. Mickey Bowen's charge is dangerous when allowed an easy lead and the sharp nature of this track should play to his strengths. Chillhi arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Newton Abbot and a similar performance should see him in the mix. Mount Sinai may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Gavin 2nd Chillhi 3rd Mount Sinai

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from HAMLET'S NIGHT's second-placed hurdles bow at Cartmel and the addition of a first-time hood could prove fruitful. James Owen's gelding travelled with plenty of verve and any improvement could see him open his account. Having posted two creditable efforts in defeat over timber so far, Tilehurst may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Three Pikes, who boasts a similar profile.
Prediction : 1st Hamlets Night 2nd Tilehurst 3rd Three Pikes

Stroll On By has been in good heart over timber, supplementing his victory at Market Rasen with a solid second at Uttoxeter. Charlie Longsdon's charge must enter calculations reverting to chasing, but FINEST VIEW may prove a tough nut to crack. The eight-year-old has posted two solid runner-up efforts in class 2 company of late and she makes plenty of appeal easing in grade. In The Air and Lakefield Flyer are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Finest View 2nd Stroll On By 3rd In The Air

McGregors Charge broke through at Perth and should go well again, despite his 6lb higher rating. Illogical Logic wasn't disgraced in third when attempting to complete a Newton Abbot double in June and is interesting on his return, but RADHARC NA SLAINE gets the vote. The eight-year-old only found one too good at Worcester and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.
Prediction : 1st Radharc Na Slaine 2nd McGregors Charge 3rd Illogical Logic

BELLES BENEFIT has made the frame in each of her last two outings and could take all the beating now equipped with first-time blinkers. Catterick winner Wrappedinrubies showed ability last season and is one to note on her return to the fray, while the Irish raider Mother Ship was not disgraced at Killarney last month and could have a say at the business end.
Prediction : 1st Belles Benefit 2nd Wrappedinrubies 3rd Mother Ship

JET PATROL made the perfect start for the James Owen stable when scoring over track and trip last month and is now 8lb higher. If the eight-year-old can back that performance up, he will prove hard to beat. Basilette finished third behind the selection on her most recent start and could get closer on better terms to prove the main threat. Of the remainder, Graecia makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Jet Patrol 2nd Basilette 3rd Graecia
