UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

Having made a successful start to his career at Hereford back in November, Planters Punch likely has more to offer. However, a 7lb penalty does demand more of him and MOLLY'S LAD may be able to capitalise. Fergal O'Brien's inmate lost little in defeat when runner-up to an unbeaten rival at Carlisle and this sharper test may be more to his liking. Crack Ops and Mistral St Georges are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Mollys Lad 2nd Planters Punch 3rd Crack Ops

Laura Horsfall has her string in fine fettle and ESCORT'KHEOPS could be set to continue the good run of form. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a breakthrough victory in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton and this longer distance could unlock further potential. Slim Marvel found only a progressive rival too strong at Ffos Las and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing, while Coumeenoole has fallen to an attractive figure.
Prediction : 1st Escortkheops 2nd Slim Marvel 3rd Coumeenoole

Roses All The Way followed up her Musselburgh triumph with a decent second at Ayr and must enter calculations. However, she isn't sure to be at her best over this sharper test and HALFTHEWORLDAWAY is more convincing. The five-year-old made all over C&D and may possess too much speed for her rivals. The returning Highland Haven is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Halftheworldaway 2nd Roses All The Way 3rd Highland Haven

KAHAVARI bounced back to form when beaten just a head at Carlisle earlier in the month. That was his second runner-up effort from his last three starts, and a 1lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going one better. Busty Boy has been running well in defeat and could make the frame once again, while Nativehill has to be noted on his debut for these connections.
Prediction : 1st Kahavari 2nd Busty Boy 3rd Nativehill

FELTON BELLEVUE won at Plumpton in February and the veteran was only beaten a neck at the same venue on his most recent outing. On that evidence, Ben Case's gelding could be hard to beat once again. I See The Sea has dropped to an eyecatching mark and his latest third at Doncaster was not devoid of promise. Others to consider are The Scorpion King and Nine Nine Nine.
Prediction : 1st Felton Bellevue 2nd I See The Sea 3rd The Scorpion King

EASTERN SHORES has been running well in defeat and her latest second at Huntingdon gives the six-year-old a big chance off a 2lb lower mark. Voodoo Angel is another who regularly makes the frame and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Roaring Home would have a big chance if returning to the form that saw her finish second at Warwick in November.
Prediction : 1st Eastern Shores 2nd Voodoo Angel 3rd Roaring Home
