UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

Early Release likes to get his own way on the front end and has a decent chance of notching back-to-back C&D wins. However, a 3lb rise makes things tougher and another personal best is required off his current mark. Contrastingly, SAFARI DREAM, a fellow front-runner, is well handicapped and looks worth a punt on these terms, with Charlie Tucker's 7lb claim a notable asset. Saucy Jane is another strong contender after winning at Thirsk last time.
Prediction : 1st Safari Dream 2nd Early Release 3rd Saucy Jane

BELLATINA is interesting back in a maiden after showing improvement on her last two starts. A clear pace angle, the daughter of Belardo could be hard to reel in if she manages to slip the field early. Sayidah Ardad sets the standard on the official ratings and commands respect on that basis, while Space Dreamer wasn't beaten far on debut at Windsor and is one to monitor in the betting now she has experience to draw upon.
Prediction : 1st Bellatina 2nd Sayidah Ardad 3rd Space Dreamer

The three last-time-out winners look the ones to focus on, with DARKENED EDGE marginally preferred with her bid to follow up. After a confidence boosting classified stakes win at Chepstow, this previous C&D winner is back in a handicap off competitive rating and has a good chance of containing Little Miss Magic and Secret Handsheikh. It's also worth considering Symbol of Hope, who is a seven-time course winner with a reasonable chance on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Darkened Edge 2nd Little Miss Magic 3rd Secret Handsheikh

CAMPEONA took a big step forward when filling second place on her handicap debut over an extended 1m3f here at the beginning of the month. With further improvement likely now stepped up further in trip, the three-year-old could be hard to beat. Endofastorm also hit the crossbar at this venue on her most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Man Of The Sea.
Prediction : 1st Campeona 2nd Endofastorm 3rd Man Of The Sea

MAN IS KING has already won at Bath three times this year and it would be no surprise to see the seven-year-old bounce back to form now returned to this venue just 1lb higher than his last winning mark. That said, Yokkell has been running well in defeat of late and should not be underestimated, while similar comments apply to Jimmy Mark.
Prediction : 1st Man Is King 2nd Yokkell 3rd Jimmy Mark

WESTON COURT was only narrowly denied when second over 7f at Chepstow a week ago and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal off just a 1lb higher rating. The unexposed Thai Princess may find some improvement now stepped up to a mile for the first time, while Havana Club edges out My Ambition and Blue Hero to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Weston Court 2nd Thai Princess 3rd Havana Club
