UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

TINY RIOT accounted for Sudbury Hill (second) by over four lengths at Hexham on his penultimate start and that looks the key piece of form to focus on. With the Dan Skelton yard in such fine fettle, he looks tough to oppose. Wicksey only found one too good on the Flat at Redcar last month and is an interesting recruit to this discipline for the Ben Haslam team.
Prediction : 1st Tiny Riot 2nd Sudbury Hill 3rd Wicksey

JUAN BERMUDEZ made every yard of the running to score by a length in a warmer event over an extended 2m2f here on his most recent start and a 3lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. With a similar performance, he will prove very hard to beat. Reteti has been thereabouts the last twice, most recently finishing third over this trip at Plumpton, and he is one to watch out for. Playful Fox is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Juan Bermudez 2nd Reteti 3rd Playful Fox

The hat-trick seeking A LITTLE SOMETHING is hard to get away from after her Fontwell romp earlier this month. Emma Lavelle's charge remains in the same grade and is tough to oppose in her current form. Gore Point finished 12 lengths behind the selection when runner-up in that event and may get closer on these revised terms, while Southwell second Catchim is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st A Little Something 2nd Gore Point 3rd Catchim

SLACK ALICE could hardly have been more impressive when running away with a similar race at Market Rasen and a 7lb rise might not be enough to anchor her if she arrives in the same form. North Account is very interesting on his stable/handicap debut and the market should tell us more, while a case can also be made for Back To Cali, who represents champion trainer Dan Skelton.
Prediction : 1st Slack Alice 2nd North Account 3rd Back To Cali

SHE IS FOR ME BOYS remains unexposed over fences and improved for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie (retained) when scoring at Worcester. She's only gone up a couple of pounds for that success and should take all of the beating again. Nickelforce got back in the winning groove at Fakenham and is the main danger, ahead of fellow C&D scorer Bagheera Ginge.
Prediction : 1st She Is For Me Boys 2nd Nickelforce 3rd Bagheera Ginge

LITTLE LADY LUCY gets just a tentative vote in a wide-open finale. She won in the spring at Wincanton and Taunton and wasn't disgraced at this track when finishing second in the hat-trick bid. She's had a small break and ought to give punters a good run for their cash. Best Night's second behind Beorma at Warwick is good form in the context of this race and she's noted along with Lucy The Wire.
Prediction : 1st Little Lady Lucy 2nd Best Night 3rd Lucy The Wire
