UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

In an extremely open contest, BIRD ON THE WIRE is fancied to return to winning ways after a good second at Worcester last week. He pulled clear with the winner that day and, off the same mark, Donald McCain's seven-year-old is fancied to go one better here. Robeam has been running well recently and if continuing in that form, can go close again, but the biggest danger to the selection might be Ben Lilly, who has been running well in defeat in recent months.
Prediction : 1st Bird On The Wire 2nd Ben Lilly 3rd Robeam

LELANTOS shaped as if he may benefit from the run when third here in May and, off just 2lb higher than when scoring at Fakenham in December, he looks the one to side with here with Nathan Brennan taking off a valuable 6lb. Gold Leader was slowly getting into it before falling at the third-last hurdle at Uttoxeter last time and looks a big player, while Corrany continues to slide down the weights and can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Lelantos 2nd Gold Leader 3rd Corrany

There are a few with chances here, but LAST OF A LEGEND looks the most likely winner. She has been slightly expensive to follow, but she pulled well clear with the winner at Market Rasen last time and a reproduction of that form could be good enough today. Miss Chantelle has shown enough to suggest she can win a race of this nature and rates as the main danger to the selection, while the lightly-raced My Little Toni is another to keep a close eye on.
Prediction : 1st Last Of A Legend 2nd Miss Chantelle 3rd My Little Toni

BUCKO'S BOY could hardly have been more impressive when winning by 18 lengths at Newton Abbot on Monday. If turned out again quickly here under a penalty, he could take all the beating in a competitive affair. Sinndarella hasn't been seen since winning at Ludlow in October but warrants consideration on that form and she could get involved at a nice price, while Chasamax is another who can get competitive off top-weight for Nicky Henderson.
Prediction : 1st Buckos Boy 2nd Sinndarella 3rd Chasamax

Golden Taipan has been in the form of his life lately and will likely be tough to beat once again in pursuit of the hat-trick, but it might be worth chancing DIABLO DE ROUHET, who showed up well for a long way when returning from a long absence over hurdles at Uttoxeter back in May. He was rated as high as 144 over fences back in 2019 and is entitled to strip fitter now for this return to the larger obstacles. Organdi is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Diablo De Rouhet 2nd Golden Taipan 3rd Organdi

Despite a long absence, some of TIME FLIES BY's hurdle form reads extremely well in the context of this race and he looks to have been found a decent opportunity to making a winning chase debut after 541 days off the track. Mortlach looks the biggest danger despite pulling up last time in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen and he should find this easier. Geromino needs to return to the form of his winning chase debut at Carlisle back in March, but can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Time Flies By 2nd Mortlach 3rd Geromino

Despite finishing well behind Bob's Bar in third last time at Worcester, there is reason to believe that SEA PRINCE can turn the tables with that rival. That was the selection's first try over fences and only his second start of the year, so with a 12lb swing in the weights, he can gain his revenge over Donald McCain's six-year-old. Shareef Star had Steady The Ship back in second when winning at Newton Abbot last time and should confirm that form.
Prediction : 1st Sea Prince 2nd Bobs Bar 3rd Shareef Star

A very competitive handicap to conclude the card, but it might be worth siding with the four-year-old BALEARIC to get off the mark over obstacles today. A smart performer on the Flat, Jonjo O'Neil'ls charge has made the frame on both his starts over hurdles and is fancied to get his head in front here at the third time of asking. Cawthorne has won his last two starts over fences and if in the same form back over hurdles, has to be feared, along with the prolific Hey Bob.
Prediction : 1st Balearic 2nd Cawthorne 3rd Hey Bob
