UK Horse Races: Bath, Musselburgh, Newton Abbot and Windsor on Monday

Quick look at some of the horse races on Monday 21st on the U.K. tracks, including top contenders and race card.

UK Horse Races: Bath, Musselburgh, Newton Abbot and Windsor on Monday We start with the Bath Racecourse in Lansdown. The first race starts at 2:00 and is the E.B.F./ Dawn Reed Hen Party Novice Stakes (Cl5). The contenders at this race are Sauze d'Oulx, Little Pete, Fox's Den, Gillans Inn, Hyper Viper, Nestor Protector, Replicator, Midnight Fling, and Waveline. The British bookmaker Bet365 guarantees the best betting odds for this and the rest of the horse races.

At 2:10 is the start of the first race at the Musselburgh, which is the Turf TV Maiden Auction Stakes (Cl5). Running at this race are Atephobia, Gin Genereux, Guertino, Countrywide Comet, Secret Asset, Areweplayingout, Rose Siog and La Guancha. Guertino can make experience count over Gin Genereux and La Guancha, with Countrywide Comet also worth a mention. Guertino improved markedly on his second outing when just touched off by the more experienced Taurian at Hamilton, and although the form might not turn out to be anything special, he can put the experience to good use here at least.

The first horse race at Newton Abbot, the Exquisite Catering Novices' Hurdle (Cl4), starts at 2:20. A modest event on paper and Learning The Blues is selected ahead of Quarterback and Forest Silver. The official BHB ratings have Learning The Blues some way clear of the remainder and if he can reproduce the form of his victory in a maiden at Uttoxeter, he is the one they all have to beat. Quarterback won at Stratford over a similar trip. He did get a little tired in the closing stages and can ill afford to repeat those jumping errors.

We are closing with the 6:10 first race, Countryside Alliance E B F Maiden Fillies' Stakes (Cl5), at Windsor on Monday. Stablemates Don't Tell Anna and May Day Queen look likely newcomers along with Theeba, however Vixens Daughter has experience on her side and gets the tentative nomination today. The selection showed some good pace on her debut at Thirsk and whilst that wasn't the greatest of contests, she could have some of these inexperienced horses under the cosh from some way out. The low draw isn't ideal but it can be overcome and she looks the one to side with. Shamrock Lady wasn't beaten far on debut at Warwick and whilst she will need further in time, she should come on for her recent run.
