Sunday's Free Tips

I'm hoping for a better day today, after failing miserably yesterday, and the free tips come from the jumps meeting at Stratford, where going is currently described as Good (Good-Firm in places GoingStick 7.4), with showers expected.

The first race from the meeting is the 2:20 SGH Martineau "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle (Class 4), over 2m 110y, with just 4 runners, there's one stand-out pick in SERGEANT THUNDER who has won 2 from 4 at the distance. First time hood being tried, suggesting trainer Paul Nicholls is hopeful of more to come from the 5-year old.

Next, we have the 2:50 Coventry Telegraph Handicap Chase (Class 4), over 2m 7f, and favour is for PAPRADON (7/2 - Coral), who is a course-distance winner, and has 4 of 8 attempts at the distance. Only won 3 of 20 on the going, but the rest of the field don't fair any better in that department.

And last but not least for the free tips, we have the 3:20 Pride of Birmingham Handicap Hurdle (Class 3), over 2m 110y, and an each-way bet is advised on DOVILS DATE (6/1 - Ladbrokes). Has won 3 of 7 at the distance, and 1 of 2 on the predicted going (the other finished 3/9 in Class 3 Handicap).
Trainer, Tim Vaughan, has a decent overall record at Stratford (over the last 5 seasons), with a win strike rate of 17%, and has won 2 of 4 races in the last fortnight.

Today's meeting at Stratford is available to watch live on At The Races.

And that's it for now, but please do check back regularly for more tips. Also check the subscription packages, they're great value, and chance to win some great prizes, including tickets, cash and merchandise.
