UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

Global Prospector was an impressive winner on his debut at Wolverhampton last month and the son of Scat Daddy has to be given the utmost respect today. That said, he could be vulnerable under a 7lb penalty and the preference is for THE CRUISING LORD. Michael Attwater's gelding ending his juvenile campaign with a fourth-placed finish in a Group 3 at Newmarket and that form is the best on offer in the contest. Highest Mountain is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st The Cruising Lord 2nd Global Prospector 3rd Highest Mountain

ZULU ZANDER put his experience to good use when winning well at Leicester a couple of weeks ago and a 4lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Album failed to reward favourite backers at Newbury seven days ago but it is far too soon to be writing him off and he can be given another chance. Don't Joke and Willa both have interesting pedigrees and are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Zulu Zander 2nd Album 3rd Dont Joke

PABLO ESCOBARR only found a subsequent Breeders' Cup winner too good on his debut for William Haggas at Goodwood in September and he followed that with a victory at the same venue later in the month. This is a competitive race but this son of Galileo holds a Derby entry and should take plenty of beating. The Mark Johnston-trained pair of Living Legend and West End Charmer both have to be respected on their handicap debuts, while similar comments apply to Blood Eagle.
Prediction : 1st Pablo Escobarr 2nd Living Legend 3rd West End Charmer

Petrus has to be respected following his victory in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last month but that form has not worked out that well in recent weeks and he is 6lb higher in the ratings today. With that in mind, the preference is for BREDEN, who dead-heated for third when last seen in the Lincoln. The veteran is 1lb lower in the ratings today and he should not be underestimated, despite also being engaged to run at Newmarket yesterday. Salute The Soldier and Waarif are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Breden 2nd Petrus 3rd Salute The Soldier

A wide-open renewal of this contest but the marginal preference is for SHUMOOKHI, who can be forgiven her run in France last month. Archie Watson's filly won at this level as a juvenile and she subsequently hit the crossbar in a Group 3 at Ayr. Queen Of Desire was very progressive last year and she may have more to offer this afternoon, while One Last Night was purchased for 200,000 euros in December and has to be respected on her debut for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Shumookhi 2nd Queen Of Desire 3rd One Last Night

JACBEQUICK was in decent order over hurdles in the winter and, following a break, makes plenty of appeal on his return to Flat racing on the back of his fine form in this sphere last season. Hollywood Road caught the eye on his return to the track when second at Lingfield last month and races off the same mark here, while cheekpieces are applied to Hareeq, who is considered along with Bayshore Freeway and Petrastar.
Prediction : 1st Jacbequick 2nd Hollywood Road 3rd Hareeq

ACCLAIM THE NATION has to be of real interest here having been in fine form on the all-weather over winter, winning twice. He often goes well in the early part of the season and could defy a career-high rating here. C&D specialist The Daley Express returned in style when beaten only a neck at Windsor earlier this week and will enjoy the return to this track, while handler Ron Harris also saddles Union Rose and Powerful Dream.
Prediction : 1st Acclaim The Nation 2nd The Daley Express 3rd Union Rose
