UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-On-Dee

HOMME PUBLIC has switched between fences and hurdles this season and his most recent effort when second over the larger obstacles at Doncaster was highly encouraging. Runner-up in this contest off 2lb lower in 2023, the eight-year-old is preferred to the class-dropping Thunder Rock, and Nusret, who must be of interest on his first run for the Nicky Henderson stable. West To The Bridge is expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Homme Public 2nd Thunder Rock 3rd Nusret

Similar to his stable, REGAL AND ROYAL could not be in better form at present and a further 4lb rise for his most recent success over C&D could prove lenient as he goes in search of the hat-trick. That may come at the main expense of Too Cool Forshrule, who scored over fences at Market Rasen last Sunday and reverts to the smaller obstacles off the same mark. Rock Hurley may also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Regal And Royal 2nd Too Cool Forshrule 3rd Rock Hurley

Runner-up on his last two starts over 2m, STICK WITH ME SAM is going to win a race like this sooner rather than later and the booking of Sean Bowen is a big plus. A winner at Southwell on his penultimate outing (hurdles) before disappointing at the same track last time, Neigh Botha must enter calculations, as well as Boston Joe, who could be interesting returned to chasing.
Prediction : 1st Stick With Me Sam 2nd Neigh Botha 3rd Boston Joe

RECORD HIGH appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 3m2f at Fontwell a month ago and the eight-year-old merits plenty of respect on the back of that performance, despite a 4lb rise. Esperti was also successful on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection. That said, Jo Lescribaa and Lazy Sunday are others who arrive here with strong form claims.
Prediction : 1st Record High 2nd Esperti 3rd Jo Lescribaa

SUNSHINE DIAMOND made a winning debut for these connections in a 3m Southwell novice hurdle in October and Neil Mulholland's gelding merits the utmost respect on his handicap debut. Sole Solution is another progressive gelding who has to be of interest following back-to-back victories in recent months, while Andy Amo edges out Land Genie and Solar System to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sunshine Diamond 2nd Sole Solution 3rd Andy Amo

CARRIG KATE produced a career-best effort to make the frame in Listed company at Doncaster earlier in the month and now drops back into a maiden. The seven-year-old should have no problems with this drop back in trip and can get off the mark. Atlantic Lad hasn't finished out of the frame on each of his three starts over the smaller obstacles and should remain competitive, while Ki Woo is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Carrig Kate 2nd Atlantic Lad 3rd Ki Woo

CHARMING GETAWAY led towards the finish to score by just under a length over 2m5f at Ludlow last month, shaping as if this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Mel Rowley's eight-year-old is 6lb higher but expected to complete a double. Superior Glance wasn't disgraced in third over C&D on her latest outing and is noted along with Mersey Street.
Prediction : 1st Charming Getaway 2nd Superior Glance 3rd Mersey Street
