UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

RODNEY is unbeaten in two starts over the smaller obstacles since switching to the Kerry Lee yard and now makes his chasing bow. If the six-year-old can continue his progression over fences, he will prove hard to beat. Sleeping Satellite showed improvement in a first-time tongue-tie to score at Stratford earlier this month and has to be respected. Last-time-out Southwell scorer Neigh Botha is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rodney 2nd Sleeping Satellite 3rd Neigh Botha

Moonshine Man only found one too good on his chase debut at Sedgefield last month and is likely to have more to offer, but the vote goes to BOWENSPARK. Henry Daly's seven-year-old was last seen filling the runner-up spot over hurdles at Warwick and might prove a different proposition in this sphere. Off a workable rating, he could make a winning return to action. Sunday Soldier isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Bowenspark 2nd Moonshine Man 3rd Sunday Soldier

Betterforeveryone struck over 4m at Hexham in March and only has a 3lb higher rating to contend with, but the sizeable drop in trip might open the door for BRIDGET MARY. Rebecca Curtis' mare won by 10 lengths over C&D in April and even a 8lb rise looks on the lenient side. I See The Sea is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bridget Mary 2nd Betterforeveryone 3rd I See The Sea

Having got the better of a subsequent winner when making all at Warwick last month, Mary warrants respect in her bid to complete a double. However, the six-year-old may not be gifted such an easy lead in these deeper waters, with stable debutant ROSALYS making most appeal. The daughter of Workforce proved progressive when racing in Ireland last year and this drop in distance looks ideal. Newbury EBF Mares' winner Siog Geal is feared most, ahead of the downgraded Rockola Vogue.
Prediction : 1st Rosalys 2nd Siog Geal 3rd Rockola Vogue

SPECTACULARSUNRISE should have learned plenty from his third-placed hurdle bow at Perth last month and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to open his account in this discipline. Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies have their string in good order and their inmate may face the most resistance from consistent bumper performer Douglas Hyde. The five-year-old boasts a point-to-point victory and should take to timber. Eastern Shores and Animato are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Spectacularsunrise 2nd Douglas Hyde 3rd Eastern Shores

Kiss My Face supplemented a return to form at Warwick when securing a fourth victory over hurdles at Wetherby recently and is dangerous to discount in his current mood. However, a 6lb higher mark and rise in class does demand more from the eight-year-old, with the progressive Court In A Storm and IDEFIX DE CIERGUES potentially being better treated. The latter reappeared with a good third at Chepstow and may offer more value than Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls' charge, who is chasing a four-timer.
Prediction : 1st Idefix De Ciergues 2nd Court In A Storm 3rd Kiss My Face
