UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

Hashtagmetoo has gone close over 10 furlongs the last twice and has form over 1m4f too, but FRANCO GRASSO gets the vote in this. Peter Chapple-Hyam's gelding won well over shorter at Yarmouth and was only run out of it late on over 1m6f there last time. This slightly shorter trip looks ideal and he can land the spoils here. Rushford won well at Windsor last time and has claims, along with recent course second With Pleasure.
Prediction : 1st Franco Grasso 2nd Hashtagmetoo 3rd Rushford

IMPEACHMENT didn't handle the bend very well at Lingfield on debut but certainly caught the eye in the way she finished that race despite not being ridden with real ferocity. She could have learnt a lot from that and is taken to get the better of Adjani, who showed up well at Kempton but displayed signs of greenness on her turf debut at Nottingham. Just Dashing is another to note, while American In Paris is interesting on debut.
Prediction : 1st Impeachment 2nd Adjani 3rd Just Dashing

Regal Envoy has been improving at a rate of knots, winning his maiden over this course and distance before scoring again at Salisbury last time. Up 4lb for the latest of those wins, he could go well but might find ADAAY IN ASIA a bit too streetwise. Harry Dunlop's filly was beaten a neck into third at Goodwood last time and a 1lb rise for that could prove lenient. Recent C&D winner Ruby Cottage is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Adaay In Asia 2nd Regal Envoy 3rd Ruby Cottage

POP DANCER arrives having placed on his two most recent outings, including when runner-up over C&D last time, and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for the five-year-old to get his head back in front. Coronation Cottage was second on her return to action here last month and she is expected to be in the mix along with the third from that contest, Symbol of Hope, who has since run with credit at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Pop Dancer 2nd Coronation Cottage 3rd Symbol of Hope

MURPHY'S DREAM didn't appear to get home over 1m2f on his most recent start at Nottingham and the drop back to a mile is likely to bring about improvement from Clive Cox's gelding. Accrington Stanley won over C&D earlier in the month and commands plenty of respect off a 3lb higher mark. Recent Chelmsford scorer Be Lucky My Son and Say Grace, who seeks a third victory from her last four starts, appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Murphys Dream 2nd Accrington Stanley 3rd Be Lucky My Son

THREE PRIESTS may not have shown much in Listed company the last twice but this represents a significant drop in grade for the daughter of Deep Impact. She can take advantage at the main expense of Alpha King, who has shown enough to suggest that he is capable of winning a race of this nature. Ice House is open to improvement as well after a relatively promising debut effort at Goodwood.
Prediction : 1st Three Priests 2nd Alpha King 3rd Ice House

CITY ESCAPE had the reopposing Defilade (second) and Plansina (third) behind when winning at Wolverhampton last month and she can uphold that form here. A winner at Ripon only last Wednesday, Mark Loughnane's charge continues in fine form and she is preferred to course winner Uther Pendragon, who ran well here last time out, and the capable Cafe Sydney. Others to note include Hold The Press, Lilandra and Temur Khan.
Prediction : 1st City Escape 2nd Defilade 3rd Uther Pendragon
