UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor

Annie Mc accounted for IF YOU SAY RUN by four lengths when the pair met in a similar contest to this at Wincanton on Boxing Day. That said, the latter is now 11lb better off and that can help Paul Nicholls' mare reverse the form this afternoon. Tinctoria has plenty to find according to official ratings and can be passed over today.
Prediction : 1st If You Say Run 2nd null 3rd null

HIGH COUNSEL racked up a hat-trick in impressive fashion at Warwick a couple of weeks ago and even a 10lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Sheneededtherun has been in top form in recent months and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Clondaw Bisto.
Prediction : 1st High Counsel 2nd null 3rd null

BOB AND CO was a useful performer in his native France but he proved to be a tricky ride on his debut for these connections at Warwick last month. The nine-year-old pulled hard on that occasion but the application of a first-time hood may help his rider this afternoon and he gets the nod. Ballynagour failed to complete last time but should not be underestimated, while Pass The Hat is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bob And Co 2nd null 3rd null

THE CASHEL MAN made it back-to-back hurdle victories with a 10-length romp at Newbury in November and having backed that performance up with a respectable effort in defeat in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle last time, may be hard to beat now upped in distance. Minella Trump tasted defeat for the first time at Catterick last month but showed plenty of ability in his two Sedgefield wins before that. Battlefield can follow them home for third.
Prediction : 1st The Cashel Man 2nd null 3rd null

SEYMOUR SOX finished second on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter before striking at Hereford last month and shaped there as though he might have more to offer in this sphere at the age of just six. An imposing type, he can pay his way over hurdles before making an impact over fences further down the line. Prince Khurram won here in October and has had wind operation since so is respected after a break, while Stonific was travelling powerfully at Newcastle recently before falling.
Prediction : 1st Seymour Sox 2nd null 3rd null

STRATAGEM won nicely on his racecourse debut at Auteuil in October and the four-year-old, who boasts an entry in the Triumph Hurdle, could prove a cut above the opposition on his UK bow receiving the weight-for-age allowance. Stimulating Song made it third-time lucky over timber at Wetherby last month having shown promise on his other hurdling starts, while Gaelik Coast can enter the reckoning based on his Doncaster success.
Prediction : 1st Stratagem 2nd null 3rd null

MACKENBERG made a pleasing start to his Rules career when taking a Carlisle bumper in December by six lengths and the manner of that victory suggested the five-year-old could defy a penalty. Getabay warrants respect coming over from Ireland for Gordon Elliott having placed at Limerick over the Christmas period, while Faivoir, who was second at Huntingdon on his debut, and newcomer Regaby appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mackenberg 2nd null 3rd null
