UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

Lord Of Cheshire struck on his chase debut at Fontwell last month and it would be no surprise to see him go close off only 2lb higher. However, JAGWAR may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests on his comeback at Wetherby so a 5lb rise might prove to be lenient. With the likelihood of more to come on only his second start over fences, the lightly-raced five-year-old could be the one to beat. Lowry's Bar completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jagwar 2nd Lord Of Cheshire 3rd Lowrys Bar

YOU WEAR IT WELL is a dual Grade 2 winner over hurdles and now makes her chasing bow. Jamie Snowden's seven-year-old, who landed the 2023 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, was last seen finishing well beaten in the Mares' Hurdle at this year's Festival, but this is obviously a much easier assignment and she could put her rivals to the sword. Shecouldbeanything beat Space Tourist by five lengths at Clonmel and should confirm that superiority, while West Balboa is another to note.
Prediction : 1st You Wear It Well 2nd Shecouldbeanything 3rd West Balboa

Shan Blue finished a close-up third in a premier handicap at Ascot in February and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Even so, PULL AGAIN GREEN looks the more appealing option. Fergal O'Brien's eight-year-old filled the runner-up spot in this grade at Chepstow last time and is a previous C&D winner. If he can run to a similar level of form, he could prove hard to beat. Celebre D'Allen is another to note after his fourth in the Topham at Aintree in April.
Prediction : 1st Pull Again Green 2nd Shan Blue 3rd Celebre DAllen

Stablemates Aotano and Jack The Boss are both respected following successful debuts, but the 7lb penalties they carry have to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for French raider DO IT AGAIN, who is closely related to plenty of Flat winners and is likely to have been well schooled. Adaay Forever edges out Lautrec De Cougny and Global Hideaway to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Do It Again 2nd Aotano 3rd Jack The Boss

JUNKER D'ALLIER created a big impression when winning well on his hurdling debut at Carlisle last month and Olly Murphy's gelding is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Joltin N Jiving scored between the flags in Ireland earlier in the year and has to be of interest on his Rules bow. Sole Solution and Old Time Chaser are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Junker Dallier 2nd Joltin N Jiving 3rd Sole Solution

Gentleman Bill sets the standard of those with hurdling experience following his third at Carlisle last month. That said, the vote goes to DOCTOR KILDARE, who took a step forward from his debut when winning a bumper here in April and he may improve again now switched to obstacles. I'm A Lumberjack is another to consider on his first outing over timber, while Oh My Johnny should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Kildare 2nd Gentleman Bill 3rd Im A Lumberjack

Venetia Williams has a good record with French imports and, with that in mind, LEMONCELLO could be worth chancing on his UK debut. A winner over fences when last seen in his homeland, this half-brother to the smart Saint Pair looks a bright prospect back over hurdles. The class-dropping Aston Martini also rates a player in this company, while Itsnoteasy warrants consideration debuting in a handicap from a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Lemoncello 2nd Aston Martini 3rd Itsnoteasy

BEAUFORT SCALE, who has proven stamina from facing stiffer tests in Ireland, appeals strongly back in novice company and is readily suggested as the one to be with. Stratford scorer Minella Rescue is far from the finished article and, unexposed over this trip under Rules, rates a serious threat to the selection. Carrig Kate wasn't beaten far at Stratford last month and is another appealing option. Betting support for point-to-point winner Subtle Fortune would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Beaufort Scale 2nd Minella Rescue 3rd Carrig Kate
