UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

KINGWOOD QUEEN made an encouraging handicap debut when third at Salisbury, where she ran green in the closing stages but can go close today with further progress likely. Revenue had the measure of Moe's Legacy when scoring over C&D, but the latter turned the tables when successful at Salisbury last time and can confirm superiority. Tres Chic and Rothay Park are also old foes, with the former preferred of that pair over this shorter trip.
Prediction : 1st Kingwood Queen 2nd Moes Legacy 3rd Revenue

MYTHICAL COMPOSER is going the right way judged on an improved effort at Goodwood. Clive Cox's colt ran out of steam in the final furlong on that occasion, but this looks less competitive and a bold bid is expected. Chester third Thecoffeepoddotco is steadily improving and should go well again, while Nala Star showed ability when second over the minimum trip on the turf at Lingfield and could have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Mythical Composer 2nd Thecoffeepoddotco 3rd Nala Star

BLUEBELLS BOY missed out by only a neck at Brighton and Darryll Holland's charge is taken to go one better in this similar contest. Several have winning form on the all-weather, including Viewfromthestars, who scored at Chelmsford in April and could be in the mix, while Zing Up and Battle Point were both successful on the Polytrack last year. Josies Kid has tumbled down the handicap and may finish closer in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st Bluebells Boy 2nd Viewfromthestars 3rd Zing Up

SECRET HANDSHEIKH has won one of his two previous starts over C&D and is now 6lb lower than his last winning mark. The trusty visor is back on and replaces the blinkers worn at Nottingham last time out, so he might represent a bit of value in a tricky sprint to call. So Smart will have his supporters following a determined track-and-trip success latest, while six-time course scorer Symbol of Hope is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Secret Handsheikh 2nd So Smart 3rd Symbol of Hope

GREY OWL has certainly improved since going handicapping and being fitted with a tongue-tie, as he finished second at Windsor last month before returning to the same venue and going down by two lengths into fourth earlier this month. Up in trip to an extended 1m3f that day, this further rise in distance should suit and he gets the nod ahead of Honrado, who boasts a similar profile. Keep an eye on Blue Hero too.
Prediction : 1st Grey Owl 2nd Honrado 3rd Blue Hero

BAROQUE BUOY wasn't winning out of turn at Wolverhampton on Thursday and is open to much more improvement. He needs to prove himself on turf, but is very difficult to get away from given his progressive profile and the quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race at the Midlands venue in good nick. Course second Battle Of Omdurman sports first-time cheekpieces and should be there to pounce if the selection falters, while Tidal Storm is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Baroque Buoy 2nd Battle Of Omdurman 3rd Tidal Storm

On a career-low mark of 47 prior to her latest effort over C&D, BRAMBLE JELLY produced her best effort so far to finish second and be beaten less than a length. Just 1lb higher and with Kevin Stott taking over in the plate, the three-year-old filly appears to have been found a good opening to gain a breakthrough success. Keen Interest and Magic Rascal are the ones expected to put up most resistance.
Prediction : 1st Bramble Jelly 2nd Keen Interest 3rd Magic Rascal
