UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

FOREVER EIGHTEEN was a good third on his return at Newcastle, despite being beaten three lengths, and dropped back in trip with a prime draw in stall nine, he has to have a decent chance with Alex Jary's claim in the saddle a bonus. Anglesey Lad looks capable of mounting a strong challenge after finishing fourth on his first run in six months, while Lady Twilight is one to watch in the market ahead of her handicap debut for the Moores.
Prediction : 1st Forever Eighteen 2nd Anglesey Lad 3rd Lady Twilight

Trainer Clive Cox has won two of the three runnings of this race and he has strong claims again with STAR ANTHEM. Beaten just a neck on his Newbury debut despite being carried right, he should be wiser now and could well make amends for that loss here. Siegen is possibly the best of the Richard Hannon pair with Pat Dobbs in the saddle and, as a son of Blue Point out of an Exceed and Excel mare, he is bred for speed. Red Sand could follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Star Anthem 2nd Siegen 3rd Red Sand

Viewfromthestars was all out to win at Chelmsford last time and a 2lb rise may be enough to stop the son of Starspangledbanner from following up. He can go close along with the consistent Joy Choi, who has finished in the top three in each of her last five starts, but a chance is taken on WE'RE REUNITED. His two wins on turf were both here, one over this trip and both off higher marks, and he looks all set for another big run.
Prediction : 1st Were Reunited 2nd Joy Choi 3rd Viewfromthestars

Afloat recorded a double at Yarmouth when last seen in August and she makes her return to action off a 4lb higher mark, so she has to be considered. However, the vote goes to CIOTOG, who has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice and he can make the most of an unchanged mark after his close-up third at Wolverhampton last time. Midsummer Music is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Ciotog 2nd Afloat 3rd Midsummer Music

Fleurir shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Pontefract in July last year and, if she has improved over the winter, then she could get involved on her handicap bow. However, preference is for RING OF LIGHT, who made his return from a layoff to finish fifth at Windsor in this grade and he remains on the same mark. He recorded an all-weather hat-trick before that and, with that run under his belt, he could be ready to strike. On The Cards is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ring of Light 2nd Fleurir 3rd On The Cards

AMERIGO VESPUCCI got off the mark with a narrow victory in a similar event at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and the three-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark. Bramble Jelly showed plenty of promise when third at Windsor a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and Clear Justice.
Prediction : 1st Amerigo Vespucci 2nd Bramble Jelly 3rd Meet Me In Meraki

Andromedas Kingdom clearly sets the standard having won over this course and distance eight days ago, but a 5lb penalty for that victory will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MOON OVER THE SEA, who was a close second off this mark at Wolverhampton last time and is a proven winner over this track and trip. Others to consider are James Park Woods and Sao Timothy.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over The Sea 2nd Andromedas Kingdom 3rd James Park Woods
