UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

STORM MELODY needs to improve on the form of his last run here over 5f but he'd previously romped to a four-length success over track and trip and may well bounce back to his best now stepped up in distance. Middlescence weakened inside the final furlong when fourth over 1m at Brighton and has place possibilities now cutting back in trip, while Archimedes has slipped to a dangerous mark. Both could go well if turning up after engagements at Brighton on Tuesday.
Prediction : 1st Storm Melody 2nd Middlescence 3rd Archimedes

HARRY HURRICANE has been beaten by a tight margin on three of his last five starts, including off this mark at Salisbury last week, so George Baker's seven-year-old wouldn't be winning out of turn. Blaine followed up a solid effort at Goodwood with a track-and-trip second last time and should go well off the same mark. Course-and-distance winner Powerful Dream could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Harry Hurricane 2nd Blaine 3rd Powerful Dream

HERITAGE has been competitive off marks of 84 and 83 in handicaps this term and although she's run below that level lately, she still rates the one to beat on these terms now back in a maiden and may improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces. Former John Gosden inmate Vandella debuts for David Evans and appears a genuine danger. Bonny Blue could sneak the bronze medal ahead of two remaining rivals who are officially rated 44 and 30.
Prediction : 1st Heritage 2nd Vandella 3rd Bonny Blue

LISTEN TO THE WIND returned to winning ways over this trip at Yarmouth on her handicap bow and although she's been raised 7lb since, the booking of a useful 7lb claimer helps offset that increase and should ensure William Haggas' filly mounts another bold bid. Hold Still hit the crossbar over this trip at Sandown last time and can battle it out with Shanghai Grace, who steps up from 7f, for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Listen To The Wind 2nd Hold Still 3rd Shanghai Grace

CONFILS landed a comfortable victory over 1m2f here when last sighted and is expected to give a good account, under a penalty, now tackling this longer trip. Sigrid Nansen scored in style when returning a six-length winner over this trip at Brighton last week and could give the selection most to think about. Filament Of Gold, a course-and-distance winner who performed with credit over 1m5f here latest, is another with place possibilities.
Prediction : 1st Confils 2nd Sigrid Nansen 3rd Filament Of Gold

COULDN'T COULD SHE left behind a below-par effort at Yarmouth when scoring over 1m2f at Brighton for the second time in her last three starts. Now running under a penalty for that latest success, Adam West's charge is expected to go well again. Sadlers Beach is 5lb higher than when scoring over this track and trip in May but is considered the main danger ahead of Brockagh Cailin, who steps up from 1m.
Prediction : 1st Couldnt Could She 2nd Sadlers Beach 3rd Brockagh Cailin

COOL STRUTTER ran well from the front for a long way over 6f at Brighton last time and this drop back to 5f appears a sensible move as John Spearing's charge bids to gain compensation for that narrow defeat. Sweet Forgetme Not commands respect from the bottom of the weights after turning in an improved display at Windsor last time, while it is possible there could be better to come from Alaskan Bay now she drops in grade.
Prediction : 1st Cool Strutter 2nd Alaskan Bay 3rd Sweet Forgetme Not
