UK Horse Racing Tips: Stratford

TELLHERTHENAME was the only finisher in a match race on his penultimate start before cosily justifying odds-on favouritism at Uttoxeter. The son of Malinas is developing nicely as a chaser and can take another step up the ladder. Captain Cool has a similar profile and won't be a pushover, while Ice In The Veins, a former stablemate of the selection, looks held on that Uttoxeter form.
Prediction : 1st Tellherthename 2nd Captain Cool 3rd Ice In The Veins

A Listed race winner in France during his time on the Flat, Square D'alboni should pay his way in this discipline. However, his two previous starts over hurdles were nothing special and he might be worth taking on at cramped odds. Therefore, a chance is taken on BOUND FOR GLORY, who romped home to win a course bumper last month. This looks a winnable event for his hurdling bow, while Penzance and Usyk also warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Bound For Glory 2nd Square Dalboni 3rd Penzance

This could be another winner for the Dan Skelton team if TYSON extends his run of good form. After scoring by 10 lengths at Huntingdon last month, the six-year-old found only one too good over 3m2f at Warwick. Cutting back in distance looks the right move, with a 3lb rise noted as manageable. Balboa has been placed over timber off higher marks and is dangerous to underestimate, while Lion Of The Desert is a solid alternative.
Prediction : 1st Tyson 2nd Balboa 3rd Lion Of The Desert

STELLARMASTERPIECE broke her hurdling duck here last month and she's expected to prove that was no flash in the pan by following up from a 6lb higher mark. Although, Newport looks a big threat because he escapes a penalty having bolted up in a conditional riders' event at Hexham. Charlie My Boy was no match for an easy winner on his seasonal return but can take a step forward nonetheless.
Prediction : 1st Stellarmasterpiece 2nd Newport 3rd Charlie My Boy

Lady Kara arrives in rude health having completed a hat-trick of novice hurdle wins at Newton Abbot earlier this month. She's bred to be a chaser and ought to progress further, but experience might cost her coming up against the Dan Skelton pair. Glenmalure Flyer cruised to victory on her chasing bow at Bangor on Friday but she has to shoulder a penalty and Harry Skelton jumps ship to get aboard the in-form THICKTHORN TOM, which could be a tip in itself.
Prediction : 1st Thickthorn Tom 2nd Glenmalure Flyer 3rd Lady Kara

REDBARN must shoulder a penalty after winning comfortably on her Rules debut at Worcester, but Harry Atkins eases the burden with his 5lb claim and this presents an excellent chance to score again as a result. Cool Million made a relatively encouraging start at Southwell and so did Queens Glance. They will need to take quite a big step forward to trouble the selection, though.
Prediction : 1st Redbarn 2nd Cool Million 3rd Queens Glance
