UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

TAZAMAN posted a couple of solid efforts on the all-weather before making a return to the winner's enclosure at Leicester latest. Kevin Frost's gelding defeated a progressive rival that day and, if turning up in a similar vein of form today, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be any barrier to further success. Breccia was well beaten into fifth over 1m6f at Salisbury last month but that effort wasn't without promise and returning to further should suit. Wannabeawallaby heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tazaman 2nd Breccia 3rd Wannabeawallaby

LUMINARE showed up well for a long way on her racecourse debut at Yarmouth before fading approaching the furlong pole, having raced keenly. Ollie Sangster's charge should be more streetwise today and is expected to take the necessary step forward. 470,000gns purchase Butterfly Beach makes considerable appeal on paper, with the dam a half-sister to Superlative winner Good Old Boy Lukey, and is worth monitoring in the betting, while Storm Flag heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Luminare 2nd Butterfly Beach 3rd Storm Flag

A confident vote goes to FLASH HARRY, who bumped into the now 102-rated Lady With The Lamp on his debut here last June. Gelded since and switched to Clive Cox, he could hardly have been more impressive when bolting up at Wolverhampton on his return last month. That performance sets a tough standard for the opposition to match and he is the one to beat under a penalty. Pianoforte and In The City can battle it out for second.
Prediction : 1st Flash Harry 2nd Pianoforte 3rd In The City

Course regular SISTERS IN THE SKY won twice here last term and was beaten only a neck at the track in May. The son of Showcasing faced a tougher assignment here last week, and it could be his turn again back in this lower grade. Fishermans Cottage has been thereabouts over a slightly longer trip here since scoring at Salisbury in May, while Darkened Edge showed signs of a resurgence when third at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Sisters In The Sky 2nd Fishermans Cottage 3rd Darkened Edge

A course and distance winner here last month, POMME POMME has subsequently won twice since. She returned the cosy winner when making every yard at Chepstow on her latest start, and Jack Channon's progressive filly looks capable of defying the handicapper once again. Grand Harbour should be noted stepping up in distance for Sir Mark Prescott's yard, while Versatile is likely to benefit from dropping back in trip having won nicely here before that.
Prediction : 1st Pomme Pomme 2nd Grand Harbour 3rd Versatile

The likes of Warm Glow, Sharma D'amour and Dandy Khan all have the ability to be on the premises and are strong contenders in a wide-open race. However, BERNING HOT reverts to turf on a very handy rating and could be worth chancing with the step up to a mile a likely source for improvement. Oasis Sunrise, who is another with the potential to improve over this distance, also warrants a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Berning Hot 2nd Warm Glow 3rd Sharma Damour

The hat-trick seeking UNION ISLAND is on a roll and is hard to oppose after winning a shade cosily over C&D eight days ago. His revised mark of just 63 looks very manageable and he can confirm superiority over last week's runner-up Claxton Bay, despite his old rival benefiting from a 1lb pull at the weights. Pessoa and Brinton also make the shortlist on the back of winning displays.
Prediction : 1st Union Island 2nd Claxton Bay 3rd Pessoa
