Monday Horse Racing Tips: Best Bets for Stratford, according to The Telegraph
Stratford Horse Racing Tips for November 9
Dream Shadow is the nap selection for Monday’s jumps meeting at Stratford, according to tips published by The Telegraph.
Monday’s racing features jumping action from Stratford, Carlisle, and Punchestown on November 9, 2026. The Telegraph betting writer Harry Reynolds selected three bets for the Stratford fixture, alongside selections offered by other outlets.
Stratford Selections and Odds
Reynolds picked Padre Arthur at 3/1 in the 2.15 Class 4 Novices’ Hurdle over two miles and six furlongs. The Nicky Henderson-trained runner received a mark of 117 from the handicapper following a performance at Kempton in February, despite two poorer runs on either side of that race.
In the 2.50 Class 3 Mares’ Handicap Chase over two miles and five furlongs, Dream Shadow is selected as the nap at 2/1. Fergal O’Brien’s seven-year-old mare comes into the race following an outing over an inadequate two-mile trip at Perth last month. Betting.betfair.com noted that the point winner jumped well on her chasing debut under rules and may prove better than her mark of 126.
Apollon Forlonge is selected at 2/1 in the 3.55 Class 4 Novices’ Handicap Chase over two miles and three and a half furlongs.
Other Tipsters Suggest Major Fortune and The Folkes Tiara
Other outlets surveyed different cards for the same race day. Talksport.com tipster Tom Lunn focused on Carlisle alongside Stratford, selecting Major Fortune at 7/2 for the Stratford card. Lunn noted that Major Fortune is an impressively consistent gelding with solid chasing form who should improve upon his last appearance at Perth.

Meanwhile, betting.betfair.com tipster Katie Midwinter highlighted The Folkes Tiara as an each-way option in the 13:40 Stratford contest on yard debut for David Brace. The 10-year-old gelding runs off a mark of 122 under 7lb claiming Troy Walsh.
