UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

Stat Goddess hit the woodwork on her nursery debut last week and she needs to be respected from an unchanged mark, but it is FREGOLA who shades preference. The daughter of Havana Gold contested a warm novice at Newmarket on her debut and although it is hard to argue that she has progressed since, this handicap bow will present a more suitable opportunity. The booking of Oisin Murphy aboard Nad Alshiba Green catches the eye and she is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fregola 2nd Stat Goddess 3rd Nad Alshiba Green

Nala Star will need to break alertly if she's to overcome her wide draw and, although respected, TWILIGHT BALLET is preferred. Andrew Balding's colt finished a narrow second at Lingfield last time out and any further improvement can see him go one better. Rage Of Thunder was far from disgraced on his debut at Sandown last month and it would come as no surprise were he to step forward.
Prediction : 1st Twilight Ballet 2nd Nala Star 3rd Rage Of Thunder

SISTERS IN THE SKY returned to winning ways with a comfortable C&D triumph a fortnight ago, defeating the reopposing Second Collection. Given that Grace Harris' charge remains competitively handicapped from a 4lb raised mark, he could go in again if arriving in a similar vein of form. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Carmarthen can get involved under the penalty, while others to note include Twayblade and Outer Edge.
Prediction : 1st Sisters In The Sky 2nd Second Collection 3rd Carmarthen

MEDIA GUEST has posted some respectable recent form and, given he wasn't beaten far in a competitive apprentice handicap at Salisbury last weekend, the Mark Gillard-trained gelding is worth another try off the same mark in what is effectively a weaker race. Nordic Glory is 0-11 on turf but is not dismissed after a solid effort at Lingfield, while Foreseeable Future also appeals from 11lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Media Guest 2nd Nordic Glory 3rd Foreseeable Future

The trusted formula Sir Mark Prescott has mastered when stepping handicappers up in trip has often been a rewarding plan to follow and can again be evidenced if MISS GITANA builds on last month's gutsy success over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster. The daughter of Nathaniel displayed battling qualities that day and, off just 2lb higher, is hard to ignore. Fellow last-time-out winner Hidden Pearl is feared most, although Tailorman and Dovena can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Miss Gitana 2nd Hidden Pearl 3rd Tailorman

MISS DUBAI has run with credit both times she has raced over this trip, going close on the Lingfield Polytrack, and the daughter of Ribchester looks worth chancing, despite running from out of the handicap here. With untapped potential stamina-wise and with Oisin Murphy doing the steering, she shades preference over Rita Rana and Angel On High, who command respect but are hard to win with.
Prediction : 1st Miss Dubai 2nd Rita Rana 3rd Angel On High

SHAWS PHOENIX went down fighting when touched off in a driving finish at Yarmouth last month and could be hard to beat back over a mile if the cheekpieces have the same galvanising impact. Dappled Light commands respect back in a handicap after landing the odds in a classified stakes at Ffos Las. Cobh Harbour and Monks Mead are a couple of others with solid place claims at this level.
Prediction : 1st Shaws Phoenix 2nd Dappled Light 3rd Cobh Harbour
