UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor

AIR DE ROCK impressively opened his account at Huntingdon last time and with that confidence booster under his belt, he might be able to defy an 11lb hike in the ratings. Inaminna also justified favouritism when winning at Chepstow and he can remain competitive off 5lb higher, while Barton Knoll is certainly no forlorn hope with his sights lowered.
Prediction : 1st Air De Rock 2nd Inaminna 3rd Barton Knoll

SHAMAN DU BERLAIS comes out top of those to have earned an official rating and gets the vote to go one better than his runner-up effort behind a smart Irish raider at Hexham last month. Dual point-to-point winner Financial Outcome has yet to run a bad race over timber and he is likely to be in the shake-up, with Late Romantic and Carrick Roads other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Shaman Du Berlais 2nd Financial Outcome 3rd Late Romantic

COMMIS D'OFFICE had a subsequent dual winner 15 lengths behind when runner-up at Catterick last month and he rates the one to beat lining up off an unchanged mark of 121. Flight To Milan is quickly bounced out following his head second at Ffos Las six days ago and he can figure prominently again. Solar Impulse is still dangerously handicapped on his best form.
Prediction : 1st Commis DOffice 2nd Flight To Milan 3rd Solar Impulse

No Alarm returned to form when scoring at Market Rasen, though that didn't look a strong contest and doubts remain over the seven-year-old. Wazowski was second on heavy ground at Carlisle after benefitting from a walkover at Sedgefield, but this can go the way of HELFORD RIVER. Still open to much improvement, the booking of Jonjo O'Neill Jr catches the eye and the five-year-old ran well when fifth on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Helford River 2nd Wazowski 3rd No Alarm

MALANGEN was heavily backed to win a seller at Exeter and could oblige once more for David Pipe. The four-year-old seems suited by a decent surface and the cheekpieces that worked so well last time remain fitted here. Danceintothelight is hard to win with but at least brings some consistency to the table, while similar sentiments apply to stablemate Rockalzaro. Asknotwhat was only beaten a head at Market Rasen and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Malangen 2nd Danceintothelight 3rd Asknotwhat

OVERAWED has a couple of good placings to her name, either side of a less impressive run at Southwell, but the way she shaped at Hereford last time suggests the step up to this trip will suit. Out For Justice and Timcoda come into this on the back of decent efforts in defeat over timber, while it would be no surprise to see Storm Wizard improve for the switch to chasing for Venetia Williams.
Prediction : 1st Overawed 2nd Out For Justice 3rd Storm Wizard

KEEN ON is worth monitoring closely in the betting on his racecourse debut as his stable can ready a newcomer and he makes plenty of appeal on breeding, being a half-brother to two bumper (debut) winners. Anax is entitled to build on his introductory fifth at Ffos Las and has place claims, while it would come as no surprise to see Killer Clown and Harry Senior finish on the premises as both have shown ability in point-to-points.
Prediction : 1st Keen On 2nd Anax 3rd Killer Clown

DUNDRUM WOOD boasts winning point-to-point form and is expected to give a good account now debuting for Olly Murphy on his first start under Rules. Son Of Camas fetched 68,000 euros last year and merits a market check for a trainer who can ready a newcomer, while there could be a big run in Rules debutant L'Air Du Vent, who held every chance in second when tumbling three out between the flags in November.
Prediction : 1st Dundrum Wood 2nd Son Of Camas 3rd LAir Du Vent
