UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

Bumper winner OUR GUIDE took a step forward from his debut fifth over hurdles to land the odds at Exeter last month and is likely to have more to offer. This sizeable step up in trip could unlock any amount of improvement and he will prove tough to beat. Granite Sands was never dangerous when only fifth on his first start over obstacles at Hereford, but he could build on that display to have a say. Ka Mate Du Brivet looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Our Guide 2nd Granite Sands 3rd Ka Mate Du Brivet

Miss Denver ran better than her odds suggested she would when third at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and has to be of interest on her chasing bow. Course winner Cawthorne Cracker also needs to be taken seriously, but CAPTAIN COOL has only found one too good the last twice over the smaller obstacles and could prove a different proposition now sent over fences.
Prediction : 1st Captain Cool 2nd Miss Denver 3rd Cawthorne Cracker

Jena D'oudairies appreciated the application of blinkers for the first time to strike at Taunton and should mount another bold bid, but it may pay to side with I AM THE MOON. The seven-year-old finished an underwhelming fourth in this class at Chepstow last month but, with Sam Twiston-Davies back on board and a 2lb lower rating, she could be the way to go. All Inn Hand is another to note.
Prediction : 1st I Am The Moon 2nd Jena Doudairies 3rd All Inn Hand

Look no further than A LITTLE SOMETHING. She has done more than enough in finishing second at Ludlow and Fontwell the last twice to suggest a race of this nature is well within her compass. Little Wren was pulled up at Plumpton, but is better judged on her previous Fakenham success for champion trainer Dan Skelton. Miss Fedora is next best.
Prediction : 1st A Little Something 2nd Little Wren 3rd Miss Fedora

FRANK STAMPER ought to take a bit of beating in this handicap hurdle. A lacklustre Wincanton display aside, he has performed well at Plumpton and Fontwell on two of his last three outings and a repeat of either of those efforts should be good enough here. Galactic Jack showed a bit more at Taunton and is noted along with Mi Sueno.
Prediction : 1st Frank Stamper 2nd Galactic Jack 3rd Mi Sueno

TAPLEY clearly appreciates a sound surface and is taken to gain a second C&D success following his March victory off 3lb lower. The nine-year-old drops in grade after his recent third at Newton Abbot and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to strike. A first-time visor might aid the cause of Bagheera Ginge on his first outing since October, while King Roly is entitled to bounce back from a below-par outing at Perth.
Prediction : 1st Tapley 2nd Bagheera Ginge 3rd King Roly

MAC'S MAX didn't quite build on his runner-up effort on debut at Newcastle in November when struggling to make an impact at Wetherby the following month. That may have been a quick enough turnaround and it would be no surprise to see Ben Haslam's gelding bounce back after being given time to recover. Lightsoutandaway is likely to build on his fourth at Fontwell and commands respect along with Bound For Glory.
Prediction : 1st Macs Max 2nd Lightsoutandaway 3rd Bound For Glory
