UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor

PURPLE KING displayed plenty of ability in three starts over hurdles in France last year and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning debut for these connections. Point Taken was not disgraced in a handicap hurdle at Warwick recently and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Others to note are Lantiern and Ruthless Article.
Prediction : 1st Purple King 2nd Point Taken 3rd Lantiern

Heavenly Promise beat PRAY FOR A RAINBOW by over three lengths in this last year, but the runner-up reopposes on better terms and brings better recent form to the table so can gain his revenge. The veteran Cruising Bye is another former winner of this contest and his two performances in 2019 have hinted that he is no back number just yet. Out For Justice and Change Ur Tune could get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Pray For A Rainbow 2nd Heavenly Promise 3rd Cruising Bye

TIDAL WATCH continues to progress and registered his fifth victory in the last year at Kempton only on Monday. He did it with the minimum of fuss so Jonjo O'Neill is wise to get him out again before the handicapper takes revenge and, although this comes soon enough, his chief rival Petite Jack has only had a few days more to get over his Wincanton triumph. Movie Set won well at Fakenham but this requires more of him.
Prediction : 1st Tidal Watch 2nd Petite Jack 3rd Movie Set

Corri Lindo almost made the perfect start to life with Henry Oliver when touched off over C&D but a 6lb rise makes life tougher, and Steel Wave is another who could just be in the grip of the assessor, although he performed with credit over timber recently. Better is expected from Robin Des People now he represents Fergal O'Brien, but DEPUTY COMMANDER has won fresh before so a two-year absence shouldn't detract from his chances.
Prediction : 1st Deputy Commander 2nd Robin Des People 3rd Corri Lindo

STOCKBURN appeared to run in snatches but finished his race off well to make the frame on his chasing bow at Chepstow, and a similar performance could see him break through. Ratfacemcdougall switches to the larger obstacles on the back of a good novice hurdling campaign, although his only previous foray into handicap company was less than inspiring. Petiville has shown some promise in his fencing career to date and the booking of Richard Johnson is interesting.
Prediction : 1st Stockburn 2nd Ratfacemcdougall 3rd Petiville

Since going under by the narrowest of margins in a Towcester bumper a year ago, JEN'S BOY hasn't quite set the world alight over timber but he steps into handicap company on a very workable mark and there will be plenty who fancy him to capitalise. Armattiekan hasn't done badly at all since his own move into the handicap ranks and heads a list of dangers that also includes Hillview Lad and Global Rhapsody.
Prediction : 1st Jens Boy 2nd Armattiekan 3rd Global Rhapsody

There was no fluke about It's Probably Me's clear-cut Southwell success but she must concede weight to an interesting newcomer in VEGAS BLUE. At 30,000 euros, the daughter of Getaway didn't cost the earth considering she is a sister to the yard's exciting Rathhill, and she is taken to make a successful start to her career. Didonato is another debutant to note, while Maria Francesca shaped with promise when third here last month.
Prediction : 1st Vegas Blue 2nd Its Probably Me 3rd Maria Francesca

Docte Dina seemed to lack a change of gear on her introduction here last month but there was still plenty of encouragement to take from her display. DESIGNER DESTINY sets the standard, though, because she went agonisingly close to making a successful debut at Limerick over Christmas and has since joined Harry Whittington. Martha Brae didn't quite perform up to expectations at Sedgefield, but should step forward from it.
Prediction : 1st Designer Destiny 2nd Docte Dina 3rd Martha Brae
