UK Horse Racing Tips: Bangor-on-Dee

ALSAKIB did well to score on his latest start at Musselburgh as the saddle slipped after an untidy leap at the final flight. He seemed to appreciate dropping back in trip on that occasion and further improvement in this sphere appears likely. Knock Off Soxs hasn't quite gone on as expected after winning at Taunton in December and it may be that the main threat comes from Senator, who struck at Market Rasen in February and remains capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Alsakib 2nd Senator 3rd Knock Off Soxs

El Rojo Grande has enjoyed a fine season with four victories, including on his latest start at Warwick, although he has questions to answer with regards to stamina. Streamsforth Lad was runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start, finishing a place ahead of SUBTLE FORTUNE. He backed that run up when filling the same position at Hexham on Monday, but Mel Rowley's mare has every chance of reversing the form coming into this a fresher horse.
Prediction : 1st Subtle Fortune 2nd Streamsforth Lad 3rd El Rojo Grande

It is possible that Reckless Spending found a relatively quick turnaround against him when down the field in the Prestige at Haydock in February. Despite the fact he has been freshened up, he may be better suited by going right-handed, so PARK PRINCESS is preferred. A Listed winner on her penultimate start at Doncaster, this is a much easier task than she encountered in the Albert Bartlett and she can end her season on a high. Pottersville heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Park Princess 2nd Reckless Spending 3rd Pottersville

KILLYCARN arrives on the back of an improved display at Musselburgh. He rallied well to finish a determined second and remains of interest with Oscar Palmer's 7lb allowance helping his cause. Lejo Du Seuil also found one too good last time - over 2m at Huntingdon - and this extra yardage could prove to his liking. He rates the main danger, unless a recent wind operation sparks improvement in They Want Me, who also makes his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Killycarn 2nd Lejo Du Seuil 3rd They Want Me

EREMENKO opened her account over timber in a maiden hurdle on good going at Plumpton recently. Nicky Henderson's mare easily landed the odds and, with underfoot conditions remaining in her favour, she may well prove better than her opening mark. I C U In My Dreams also makes her handicap bow after scoring nicely at Newcastle and that looks stronger form than Las Canals' victory at Sedgefield.
Prediction : 1st Eremenko 2nd I C U In My Dreams 3rd Las Canals

ADMIRAL STEWART showed the benefit of a wind operation at Uttoxeter last month. He finished a creditable fourth in a tougher contest than this and Jamie Snowden's charge looks on a fair mark if building on that effort. Carrigeen Castle produced a strong finish to take second at Hexham and is likely to prove competitive raised only 1lb, while the veteran Presentandcounting has won carrying top weight in the past and drops back in trip with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Admiral Stewart 2nd Carrigeen Castle 3rd Presentandcounting

Speed Davis got back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh but the combination of a longer trip, a 141-day absence and a 6lb rise dampens any enthusiasm for a follow-up success. Of more appeal over this distance is DWIGHT K SCHRUTE, who has abundant stamina and gets the vote based on his more proven reliability. Tiger Orchid and Kintail command respect, although Our Dylan could be a bigger danger after successfully tackling an extended 3m at Wincanton.
Prediction : 1st Dwight K Schrute 2nd Speed Davis 3rd Our Dylan

Nicky Henderson introduces an appealing newcomer in the shape of LONGLANDS, who was bought for 36,000 euros as a foal before fetching 110,000 euros as a three-year-old. By Crystal Ocean and out of a full-sister to smart chaser Gold Present, there is plenty to like on paper. Tide Is Turning, Littlebobbydazzler and Jetzet all displayed ability on their debut runs and go on the shortlist in that order of preference.
Prediction : 1st Longlands 2nd Tide Is Turning 3rd Littlebobbydazzler
