UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

ED KEEPER sets a decent standard on the evidence of his two runs to date, having found some improvement from his Ffos Las debut when finishing second at Chepstow in January. The form has worked out, with the winner scoring again under a penalty and the third also getting off the mark in this sphere, so the Sam Thomas-trained five-year-old appears to have been found a nice opportunity. Si Elegant has to enter calculations, along with Present Fair.
Prediction : 1st Ed Keeper 2nd Si Elegant 3rd Present Fair

WALK IN THE STORM filled the runner-up spot on her handicap bow over 2m4f at Ffos Las earlier in the month and the manner of that performance suggested that Ian Williams' mare would benefit from this step up in trip. William Ewart returned from a wind operation on the same card and is capable of improving, while others to note include Invincible De Mee and Hunsbury.
Prediction : 1st Walk In The Storm 2nd William Ewart 3rd Invincible De Mee

TWOTWOTHREE took a step forward on his latest outing when runner-up at Doncaster after a wind operation and the drop back in trip is unlikely to stop him from going one better. Heritier is only 2lb higher than for his last win, which came at Market Rasen in November, and he has to be considered, despite a below-par effort at Plumpton when last seen. Muse Of Fire and Cenotice appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Twotwothree 2nd Heritier 3rd Muse Of Fire

Minella Trump returns to timber following a prolific campaign over fences, but he has been off since June and it could be worth taking a chance on EL MUCHACHO. The Milton Harris-trained six-year-old struggled in the Morebattle at Kelso earlier this month and is worth another chance up in trip. Carlisle winner Tanganyika is feared most, while the consistent Thereisnodoubt adds further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st El Muchacho 2nd Tanganyika 3rd Thereisnodoubt

This can go the way of the hat-trick seeking ROCK HURLEY, who makes his handicap debut following an eyecatching success in France just after Christmas. Now switched to Donald McCain after being bought for 125,000 euros, he could be capable of defying the welter burden of 12 stone. Foster'sisland can give the selection most to think about, while Tap Tap Boom is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Rock Hurley 2nd Fostersisland 3rd Tap Tap Boom

METHODTOTHEMADNESS arrives here on the back of two victories at Musselburgh last month and a 2lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. Feuille De Lune showed some promise when third at Huntingdon and she edges out Penny Mallow and Emmpressive Lady to be the pick of the remaining field.
Prediction : 1st Methodtothemadness 2nd Feuille De Lune 3rd Penny Mallow

KINGS JUSTICE was not disgraced when fifth at Doncaster a month ago and a reproduction of that level of form here would give him a big chance off a 2lb lower mark. Scherbobalob put in a career best over hurdles at Ludlow last time and merits consideration on his handicap debut. Ballabawn often makes the frame and is likely to be in the mix again, while Feel The Pinch is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Kings Justice 2nd Scherbobalob 3rd Ballabawn
