UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-On-Dee

With a top-rating of 134 (11lb and upwards ahead of these rivals), CASA NO MENTO is very well treated at these weights and she is fancied to strike on her second chase outing. Cabhfuilfungi only just failed to supplement his Southwell romp at Chepstow and he is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Throatlash is interesting switching to fences after only two hurdle starts.
Prediction : 1st Casa No Mento 2nd Cabhfuilfungi 3rd Throatlash

Jackpot Cash won over hurdles on his stable debut for James Owen at Southwell recently and must enter calculations switching to fences off a 5lb lower mark, but he has yet to really sparkle in this sphere. Oppositely, NIGHT JET struck on his chasing debut at Leicester last time so he looks the more solid option, lining up off a 6lb higher rating. Grasshopper Time might fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Night Jet 2nd Jackpot Cash 3rd Grasshopper Time

Big City Roller has a lengthy absence to overcome but is a fascinating runner on his chasing bow, while Imperial Alex is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark. BALLYBEGG could be the one, though, as Kerry Lee's horses are in good nick and she's booked Sam Twiston-Davies in the plate. Her veteran is now 4lb lower than when bolting up at Ludlow last year.
Prediction : 1st Ballybegg 2nd Big City Roller 3rd Imperial Alex

Point-to-point winner FORCETORECKONWITH changed hands for 30,000 pounds in November and is related to a few winners. The daughter of Workforce looks to have been found a suitable assignment and could be up to making an instant impression. I've Madeupmymind could only manage fourth at Taunton last month, but she might have more to offer on only her third start over hurdles. Of the remainder, Getaways Gift makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Forcetoreckonwith 2nd Ive Madeupmymind 3rd Getaways Gift

WINCHMORE HILL took a step forward to occupy the runner-up berth at Uttoxeter on his most recent start and has Brian Hughes back on board. The eight-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 110 and he looks the one to beat. French recruit Kingbel Du Lion showed more when third on his second start at Auteuil in March last year and warrants a market check. Count Adhemar can beat Steal The Moves home for third.
Prediction : 1st Winchmore Hill 2nd Kingbel Du Lion 3rd Count Adhemar

C'EST DIFFERENT has improved since going handicapping, winning a conditional riders' event at Carlisle before following up at Chepstow on Saturday. Sam Thomas' charge doesn't escape a penalty this time but the progressive five-year-old is unlikely to have reached the ceiling of his ability just yet. The Secret Pearl was keeping on into fourth over 2m1f here latest and the return to further looks a real positive. Rock Hurley is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Cest Different 2nd The Secret Pearl 3rd Rock Hurley

FARMER JIMMY took a giant leap forward on his handicap bow a fortnight ago, where he won in comfortable fashion over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby. A 4lb rise does not look at all harsh and with a further step up in trip promising to suit, Mark Walford's charge could double his tally. Getaway With You scores highly for consistency and he is unlikely to be far away, while Goguenard, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, ought to relish forecast conditions.
Prediction : 1st Farmer Jimmy 2nd Getaway With You 3rd Goguenard
