UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

BET ME showed plenty of promise when third over a mile at Kempton last month and the step up in trip, along with a first-time hood, could see the four-year-old return to winning ways. City Streak has continually improved over the last couple of seasons and has to be respected on his seasonal bow, while Champagne Piaff and Miss Dolly Rocker are others who merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bet Me 2nd City Streak 3rd Champagne Piaff

HAYA confirmed the promise that she showed on debut when chasing home a talented rival on her second start at Newmarket in September. Andrew Balding's filly may progress further this year and just gets the vote in an open contest. Star Jasmine hit the crossbar on both starts at Newcastle last month and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Painite has a similar profile and cannot be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Haya 2nd Star Jasmine 3rd Painite

ADAAY IN DEVON was far from disgraced when fourth against older rivals in the Listed Cammidge Trophy over 6f at Doncaster last month and Rod Millman's filly could be hard to stop in this company on the back of that performance. Equity Law showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and has to be interest on his return to action following a gelding operation, while similar comments apply to Hedge Fund.
Prediction : 1st Adaay In Devon 2nd Equity Law 3rd Hedge Fund

Even with the burden of top-weight, KERDOS may prove tough to stop dropping back into handicap company. Clive Cox's speedball was last seen finishing a creditable eight (of 18) over 5f in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October and although this rating of 107 is no 'gimme', he looks to have a class edge over his rivals. Silky Wilkie finished a close second behind the selection at Beverley last September and now finds himself considerably better off at the weights, but his more recent form leaves something to be desired. Desperate Hero may have been feeling the effects of a long season when disappointing at Doncaster in October, and he is respected on his return.
Prediction : 1st Kerdos 2nd Silky Wilkie 3rd Desperate Hero

CHRISTIAN DAVID still looked very much a work in progress last season and it was a testament to his ability that he managed to win in a minor event over 7f at Lingfield when last seen in October. Now making his handicap debut for a yard that have been among the winners of late, he can show his rivals a clean pair of heels. Galloping On finished an admirable second off this mark at Lingfield in January, but he will need to step up on that effort if he is to get his head in front today, while Aragon Castle completes the shortlist for the in-form Andrew Balding team.
Prediction : 1st Christian David 2nd Galloping On 3rd Aragon Castle

PLATINUM JUBILEE justified market support when scoring a shade cosily over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and, upped 3lb for this debut for new connections, she holds every chance of bringing up the double here. The combination of the ease in grade and step up in trip can see Measured Moments emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Loughville didn't fire when sent off a warm order on her first start since undergoing wind surgery at Chelmsford last month, but clearly better was expected and she shouldn't be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Platinum Jubilee 2nd Measured Moments 3rd Loughville

THORNABY PEARL returned to action with an all-the-way success at Doncaster a fortnight ago and, with Mia Nicholls' 5lb claim negating most of the 7lb rise he incurred for that victory, he might be tough to beat. That said, Sir Benedict arrives following two victories on Southwell's Tapeta surface and he must be respected back on the grass, along with Willingly, who looks set to relish forecast conditions as she returns from a 156-day absence. Port Noir is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Thornaby Pearl 2nd Sir Benedict 3rd Willingly

SARAH'S VERSE has been running with credit on the all-weather in recent months and she looks primed to strike back at this venue. Ron Harris' charge landed a fillies' handicap on this card a year ago from a 9lb higher mark and with conditions in her favour, including a low draw, she looks sure to mount a stern challenge. Four Adaay has a solid record when fresh and she must be considered from a competitive rating, while Danzart, who had excuses at Doncaster last time out, should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Sarahs Verse 2nd Four Adaay 3rd Danzart
