UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

Narrowly denied in her bid to land the double at Perth last month, having scored over further there on her penultimate outing, HAPPY INDEX rates the one to beat off 4lb higher with Beau Morgan taking off a valuable 3lb. Runner-up on each of his last three starts over shorter, Lune De La Mer is a key player if seeing out the rise in distance, while Irish raider Tango Theatre arrives on the back of a creditable second at Kilbeggan.
Prediction : 1st Happy Index 2nd Lune De La Mer 3rd Tango Theatre

Placed on her last three starts, including last time out over an extended 2m here behind a subsequent winner, HERJA sets the standard on form and the booking of Brian Hughes looks significant as she aims to get off the mark. Taktique Gagnante hasn't shown much since joining new connections but stepping up in trip could bring about improvement, whereas Dothejive makes her Rules debut for in-form connections having landed a point-to-point at Stradbally in April.
Prediction : 1st Herja 2nd Dothejive 3rd Taktique Gagnante

SHARP GLANCE has made a strong start to her hurdling career and, despite a slight mishap when a beaten favourite at Hexham last month, Alan King's mare can get back to winning ways. A winner here over fences in May, Barranco must be of interest on his hurdles return, while Guillaume has a chance if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second at Kelso.
Prediction : 1st Sharp Glance 2nd Barranco 3rd Guillaume

Having supplemented his second here when scoring over C&D last month, LIPA K is one to keep the right side of. A further 3lb rise in the ratings looks workable for the seven-year-old and a seventh career victory may be in the offing. Donnie Azoff finished with a rattle on his latest third at Market Rasen and is a live threat if getting a good pace to aim at. Jamie Snowden's charge is feared most, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Evenwood Sonofagun.
Prediction : 1st Lipa K 2nd Donnie Azoff 3rd Evenwood Sonofagun

Having stayed on doggedly to complete a double over track and trip 13 days ago, another bold bid is forecast from LAND GIRL'S LUCK. Max Comley's mare ticks plenty of the right boxes and is fancied to overcome a 5lb rise from the assessor. Fellow last-time-out winner G'day Aussie bounced back to form at Worcester last month and, if in the same mood, is likely to be in the mix once more. Mrs Tabitha is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Land Girls Luck 2nd Gday Aussie 3rd Mrs Tabitha

Donald Jump is sure to prove popular after posting a close-up third on his debut over C&D last month and isn't taken lightly. However, GARDE MY GUINNESS also finished third on her opening bid at Stratford in May. Jamie Snowden's mare shaped promisingly behind a subsequent winner and she is slightly more compelling. Way Maker and Elusive Power are both intriguing newcomers and market support for either would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Garde My Guinness 2nd Donald Jump 3rd Way Maker
