Horse Racing tips: This 15/2 shot will certainly do at Stratford on Saturday

12:43 Numitor

Paul Nicholls’ runner Barbados Buck’s is open to significant improvement, but last season’s bumper form wasn’t anything to go wild about, and cheekpieces are applied for today’s hurdle debut. The Bull McCabe comes here after a good second at Newton Abbot last month and On Call has strong claims if judged on the best of his Irish form. But, NUMITOR (nap) was fifth in a good-quality Kempton novice on his hurdle debut in March and gets the vote.

13:13 My Way

After holding his own in some very competitive handicap chases last season, MY WAY has a good opportunity to collect a belated first career win here. That said, Peachey made a very promising hurdling debut in a race that has worked out well and could be dangerous if ready to roll after his 693-day absence

13:43 Project Mars

Crocodile Dundee returned to form with a convincing win at Fontwell last week and is not opposed with any confidence, but slight preference is for PROJECT MARS – who scored off a 5lb lower mark on his second of three runs for Fergal O’Brien. Dual bumper winner A Book Of Intrigue is back on decent ground for today’s handicap debut and also looks interesting.

14:18 Dariya

Authorizo has been reasonably consistent in handicaps this season and is sure to appreciate today’s drop in grade, but DARIYA is penalised for only one of her two wins in September and looks the most obvious answer.

14:53 Templehills

Francky Du Berlais doesn’t have a convincing record over fences, but he returned to form and won a competitive handicap hurdle on last month’s seasonal debut and is only 1lb higher here. He warrants respect, but TEMPLEHILLS gets the nod in the hope he can stage a revival on his first start since rejoining Nigel Twiston-Davies.

The nine-year-old didn’t fire during a spell for Jonjo O’Neill last season, but comes here fresh and is very well handicapped now. Everlanes took well to chasing last season and is next on the list, ahead of Denmead.
