UK Horse Racing Tips: Bath

Rogers Dream romped home in a classified contest on soft going at Ripon last time. However, she faces a tougher assignment back in handicap company and looks worth taking on with the veteran GALACTIC GLOW. Joe Tickle's course regular has recorded four of his five wins so far at this venue and this return to a longer trip could spark improvement. Shifra arrives in fine fettle and is preferred to the recent classified winner Kev of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Galactic Glow 2nd Rogers Dream 3rd Shifra

Q T BOY gave the impression this extra yardage would suit when runner-up in a nursery over 7f at Chepstow. He finished clear of the reopposing Thunda Struck (third) and a bold bid is anticipated from David Evans' charge. Magical Life won a nursery at Kempton last month and could well make the frame having placed at Lingfield subsequently, while Amethyst Star and Secret Flite are both worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Q T Boy 2nd Magical Life 3rd Amethyst Star

Boilermaker has improved for the step up to 1m6f and has to enter calculations bidding for a hat-trick after a cosy win at Wolverhampton. However, CURRAN scored over C&D earlier in the season and won easily at Salisbury in July when last seen over this distance. Only 2lb higher for this series final, Rod Millman's charge looks to have strong claims in an open contest. Belle Of Kt is not without a shout in her current frame of mind and is preferred to Taritino.
Prediction : 1st Curran 2nd Boilermaker 3rd Belle Of Kt

Tony Carroll trained last year's winner of this contest and will have high hopes for Neptune Legend, who has won at the track on four occasions and placed once. However, he would need a career best off this mark and may have to settle for another place if THE FEMININE URGE runs to her best. Only beaten a neck over C&D last time out, she races off the same rating, making her the one to beat. Dark Sun and Mortubo both make the cut in a competitive renewal.
Prediction : 1st The Feminine Urge 2nd Neptune Legend 3rd Dark Sun

BIG HITTER has shown plenty of promise in all three previous starts and it would be no surprise to see her get off the mark here. Sacred Rhythm also displayed ability when filling fourth place on her racecourse bow at Lingfield and is expected to improve for the experience, making her a serious danger. Romidijo, who has solid placed form, can also feature.
Prediction : 1st Big Hitter 2nd Sacred Rhythm 3rd Romidijo

Symbol of Hope is hard to ignore having won here seven times, with only the one success elsewhere. He was third over C&D last time and can go well with a clear run. That said, preference is for reopposing winner RECON MISSION, who finished a length and a half ahead and has only been raised 3lb by the handicapper. Spirited Dancer and Outer Edge are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Recon Mission 2nd Symbol of Hope 3rd Spirited Dancer

Having recorded a double at Ffos Las last month in emphatic fashion, Oviedo must enter calculations given his resurgence. However, it remains to be seen if the six-year-old can post a similar performance off a 9lb higher mark, with TONAL edging the vote. Ian Williams' charge landed a gamble at the same West Wales venue and there could be more to come given his higher all-weather rating. Course specialist Blue Hero is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Tonal 2nd Oviedo 3rd Blue Hero

A switch to more aggressive tactics on his most recent outing saw FLAG CARRIER land the spoils at Windsor. The five-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 4lb higher mark is surmountable and he could prove tough to peg back if dictating the gallop. Mr Tony held on to make a winning stable bow at Chepstow and he's feared most, ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Danehill Star
Prediction : 1st Flag Carrier 2nd Mr Tony 3rd Danehill Star
