4	4 (4) (17/2 -70%) Democracy Dilemma		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(4) Democracy Dilemma 17/2, Useful gelding who tasted success 4 times last season, signing off with victory in 8-runner Chester handicap (5f, heavy) in September. Not disgraced at Meydan/Jebel Ali for new stable earlier this year and return to handicaps rates a plus. Not at his best in the UAE for new yard this year but today's conditions should suit well.
1	11 1st (11) (12/1 +33%) Blind Beggar		12 12/1(+33%)																															(11) Blind Beggar 12/1, Three 5f wins last year. Solid in-the-frame efforts on first 2 starts on AW around the turn of the year and probably best not judged too harshly on his seventh of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 14 days ago. Return to the minimum trip can help. Mixed bag since a 5f AW win in November but he's now 2lb lower; 1-1 on heavy.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -100%) Silky Wilkie		9 9/1(-100%)																															(5) Silky Wilkie 9/1, Smart gelding who had a productive 2023, landing Scottish Sprint Cup and career-best display when second in "Dash" at Epsom. Has been operating below best on AW since the turn of the year but mark easing all the time and return to turf may have positive effect now. Worth considering. On a good mark and appeals as the type to pop up soon; this ground perhaps not ideal.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 -57%) Baldomero		22 22/1(-57%)																															(9) Baldomero 22/1, Arrives on a lengthy losing run but has gone close on several occasions on AW in recent months. However, not at best when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago and refitted visor needs to have positive effect returned to turf/down markedly in trip. Reliable on AW but 0-10 on turf and heavy ground not sure to see him to best effect.
4	10 4th (10) (10/3 +39%) Glorious Angel		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(10) Glorious Angel 10/3, Landed first 3 starts on AW early last year and consistency hard to knock having been kept very busy thereafter. Comes here having finished a good second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Pontefract (5f, heavy) 5 days ago and each-way possibilities again. Good runs on testing ground the last twice; should be involved once again.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -50%) Thunderbear		18 18/1(-50%)																															(3) Thunderbear 18/1, Latest win at Newbury in September. 33/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Well proven on this ground but his present mark does demand more. Cheekpieces back on. Group 3 win in desperate ground last September; nothing solid since.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 -144%) Desperate Hero		22 22/1(-144%)																															(8) Desperate Hero 22/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October. Not in same form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) later that month and present mark demands that bit more on return to action. Progressive last year, including on heavy; more to come this year but returns in warm race.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +33%) Rhythm N Hooves		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) Rhythm N Hooves 8/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year, including big-field 3-y-o handicap at Royal Ascot. Mixed bag in trio of starts thereafter, possibly needing the run when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) in November. Market may prove a useful guide back from 5 months off. Royal Ascot winner last summer; less good afterwards and this ground is an unknown factor.
8th	1 8th (1) (5/1 +9%) Kerdos		5 5/1(+9%)																															(1) Kerdos 5/1, Smart colt who added to his tally in listed Beverley Bullet (5f) in September and similar form when eighth in Group 1 Prix de L'Abbaye at Longchamp on final start in October. Conditions will hold no fears on return and he's of definite interest back in calmer waters. Progressed well in 2023 & not fully exposed; can take this before returning to Group races.
9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 +11%) King's Lynn		8 8/1(+11%)																															(6) King's Lynn 8/1, Landed Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in spring 2022 and, though winless since, he has posted several solid efforts in defeat last year. Often gone well fresh in the past so no surprise to see him give a good account having slipped in weights. Starts the year on a dangerous mark but good chance this ground will be deeper than ideal.
10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +0%) Punchbowl Flyer		14 14/1(+0%)																															(12) Punchbowl Flyer 14/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, signed off with good second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) in October and likely he has a race in him from this sort of mark this term. Down in weights last year & ended 2023 with good 2nd at Windsor; this perhaps not his day.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 -50%) Rumstar		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Rumstar 18/1, Progressive 3-time winner as a juvenile, landing Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes (5f) on final start. Some good efforts in face of some fairly stiff tasks last term and switch to handicaps rates a plus on return having been gelded. However, does need to prove himself on ground this testing. Group 3 winner at two; tough time last year but mark still high; been gelded; ground a ?.

15:43 Bath Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Even with the burden of top-weight, KERDOS may prove tough to stop dropping back into handicap company. Clive Cox's speedball was last seen finishing a creditable eight (of 18) over 5f in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October and although this rating of 107 is no 'gimme', he looks to have a class edge over his rivals. Silky Wilkie finished a close second behind the selection at Beverley last September and now finds himself considerably better off at the weights, but his more recent form leaves something to be desired. Desperate Hero may have been feeling the effects of a long season when disappointing at Doncaster in October, and he is respected on his return.

A good quality contest and it could be worth chancing SILKY WILKIE. He's not been operating at his best on all-weather since the turn of the year but his mark has fallen as a result and, returned to turf with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb, he may well be seen in a better light. Democracy Dilemma, returned to these shores, and Kerdos are others to consider, with Glorious Angel also in the mix following her good Pontefract second earlier in the week.

Glorious Angel has conditions to suit and is in form but KERDOS may be able to defy top weight en route to Group races.

1	2 1st (2) (10/1 -67%) Ice Max		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) Ice Max 10/1, Successful twice at Catterick from 5 runs last year. Raced too freely when fifth of 6 in nursery at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 3/1) on his final outing. Not discounted after 5 months off (has been gelded). Two 7f Catterick wins on good to soft ground; well below form on soft and heavy, however.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/4 +54%) Bill's Baar		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(7) Bill's Baar 11/4, Winner at Ripon in September and left behind a lesser effort when second of 6 in nursery at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 16/1) on his last run of the campaign. Further improvement required over this longer trip. Not sure to get 1m on pedigree but he's the only one who has proved himself on heavy going.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 -133%) Christian David		7 7/1(-133%)																															(5) Christian David 7/1, Still green but improved further when opening his account in 8-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/2) in October, well on top finish. Not taken lightly as he makes his seasonal/handicap debut. Faces very different ground today but he looked firmly on the upgrade as 2yo.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +43%) Hot Fuss		4 4/1(+43%)																															(1) Hot Fuss 4/1, Winner at Salisbury last summer and good effort when second of 8 in minor event at this C&D (soft, 5/4) in October. More needed having been gelded ahead of his first start in a handicap. Consistent form last June-October and two of those runs were on soft ground.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +25%) Aragon Castle		3 3/1(+25%)																															(4) Aragon Castle 3/1, Off the mark at Epsom on his second start and creditable fourth of 10 in nursery at York (7.9f, soft, 6/1) when last seen in October. Has been gelded since and he can make his presence felt on his return. Twice close up on soft ground, including when fourth of ten off this mark at York (1m).
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 -43%) Galloping On		5 5/1(-43%)																															(6) Galloping On 5/1, Upped in trip for his handicap bow, ran well when second of 5 at Lingfield (8f, AW, 8/11) 74 days ago (subesquently gelded). Could be ready to go one better as he makes turf debut with cheekpieces added. AW second on last two outings, at 8-11 latest; gelded since and cheekpieces are enlisted.

16:18 Bath Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

CHRISTIAN DAVID still looked very much a work in progress last season and it was a testament to his ability that he managed to win in a minor event over 7f at Lingfield when last seen in October. Now making his handicap debut for a yard that have been among the winners of late, he can show his rivals a clean pair of heels. Galloping On finished an admirable second off this mark at Lingfield in January, but he will need to step up on that effort if he is to get his head in front today, while Aragon Castle completes the shortlist for the in-form Andrew Balding team.

GALLOPING ON found only a more experienced rival too strong at Lingfield in January and, having been gelded since, he can take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces to get off the mark. Christian David is also open to progress on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Aragon Castle.

It looks as if CHRISTIAN DAVID may be open to most improvement. Aragon Castle and Bill's Baar have run well on testing ground.

1	11 1st (11) (13/2 +19%) Loughville		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(11) Loughville 13/2, Fair form. 2¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Platinum Jubilee in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 24 days ago. Ran well on soft ground last year. Less exposed than the majority of these. Best run over 1m2f on soft; after just six races, she could have more to give.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +25%) Chantico		6 6/1(+25%)																															(6) Chantico 6/1, 4/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 8 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and cheekpieces refitted. Enters the reckoning for a stable which got back among the winners this week. Promise on AW on last two starts, looking better than the bare results; equipment returns.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/2 +30%) Big Bear Hug		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(8) Big Bear Hug 7/2, Dual winner in the mud last year and underlined how well she handles deep ground when good 3¼ lengths second of 11 to Destinado in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, heavy) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlist material. Goes well in the mud; good second to Destinado in apprentice event at Doncaster (1m2f).
4	12 4th (12) (5/1 +17%) Destinado		5 5/1(+17%)																															(12) Destinado 5/1, Has thrived since joining James Owen, adding to his AW victories with decisive success in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, heavy; Big Bear Hug second) last month. Posted another good effort when third at Southwell (11f) a week ago and must enter calculations. First turf win at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) March from Big Bear Hug; good AW 3rd last Sunday.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -43%) Raintown		20 20/1(-43%)																															(4) Raintown 20/1, Back to winning ways at Lingfield in January. Not in anything like the same form at Kempton later that month and freshened up since. Best form to date on AW. 1m4f AW win two runs ago; the lack of impact in his five turf races is a concern.
6th	2 6th (2) (15/2 +53%) Expressionless		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(2) Expressionless 15/2, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on reappearance 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs to have come on a lot. Two 1m wins on soft last spring; not so good since, including the Spring Mile 15 days ago.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 +10%) Abu Royal		9 9/1(+10%)																															(5) Abu Royal 9/1, Placed over this trip at Lingfield on last 2 starts. Ran well on testing ground last year. One to consider back on the grass. On the premises with blinkers last three outings (1m2f, AW); went close on soft last April.
8th	13 8th (13) (20/1 -25%) Taritino		20 20/1(-25%)																															(13) Taritino 20/1, Drew a blank on the Flat for Amy Murphy last year. Best run over hurdles for new yard when fourth in maiden at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 27 days ago. Has a career-low mark to work with back on the level. 1-14 on the Flat; fourth since in his three hurdle races, last two of which were on soft.
9th	14 9th (14) (33/1 -136%) Chester Tonik		33 33/1(-136%)																															(14) Chester Tonik 33/1, Won over this trip at Salisbury for Peter Chapple-Hyam last May. Also went runner-up on heavy at Beverley last September. Hard to draw any encouragement from January's hurdle debut for new yard but he might be more at home back on the Flat. Best runs for Peter Chapple-Hyam make appeal; tailed off in January on stable/hurdle debut.
10th	10 10th (10) (10/1 -25%) Measured Moments		10 10/1(-25%)																															(10) Measured Moments 10/1, 18/5, respectable fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Acts on heavy. Reliable sort, probably with no trip or ground worries; major each-way contender.
11th	3 11th (3) (100/1 -300%) Serious Look		100 100/1(-300%)																															(3) Serious Look 100/1, Failed to make an impact in handicaps for George Boughey last year. Steps up in trip for yard debut after 8 months off. Likely best watched. No serious impact last year and left George Boughey for 6,500gns in September.
12th	9 12th (9) (50/1 -525%) Platinum Jubilee		50 50/1(-525%)																															(9) Platinum Jubilee 50/1, 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 24 days ago, kept up to work. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Her ability to handle these ground conditions has to be taken on trust. Off the mark at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month; left A Balding for 10,500gns 11 days ago.
13th	7 13th (7) (25/1 -150%) Fazayte		25 25/1(-150%)																															(7) Fazayte 25/1, Hurdle and dual chase winner in 2023. Runner-up on heavy on the first of 3 Flat runs last autumn. One to note in the betting now handicapping for the first time in this sphere. 9yo who's 5-25 over jumps; first of his only three Flat runs looked promising (1m2f, soft).

16:53 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

PLATINUM JUBILEE justified market support when scoring a shade cosily over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and, upped 3lb for this debut for new connections, she holds every chance of bringing up the double here. The combination of the ease in grade and step up in trip can see Measured Moments emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Loughville didn't fire when sent off a warm order on her first start since undergoing wind surgery at Chelmsford last month, but clearly better was expected and she shouldn't be overlooked.

A competitive handicap. BIG BEAR HUG was 3¼ lengths behind the reopposing Destinado at Doncaster last month but Adam West's mare is entitled to come on for that first outing of the season and might be able to turn the tables on 6 lb better terms. Abu Royal and Cavalluccio head the many possible dangers.

The selection is BIG BEAR HUG to win by reversing his Doncaster placings with Destinado on the revised terms.

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +31%) Maharajas Express		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(4) Maharajas Express 11/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft, 11/1) 14 days ago, despite being slowly away. Should remain competitive. Transferred his good AW form for this yard back to slow turf latest; more needed to win.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +6%) Connie's Rose		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(5) Connie's Rose 15/2, Four wins from 16 runs last year but ran below form when sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft) on final outing. Off 172 days and may bounce back. Four wins last year, two over C&D (including heavy); has run well fresh in the past.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -140%) Buraback		12 12/1(-140%)																															(7) Buraback 12/1, Won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/3) 8 days ago, well positioned and getting a nice run through on the inner. More needed to land the hat-trick. Chasing a hat-trick after two 6f AW wins; up in class; promise in one run on heavy.
4	1 4th (1) (6/4 +33%) Thornaby Pearl		1.5 6/4(+33%)																															(1) Thornaby Pearl 6/4, Proved at least as good as ever when winning 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft) 14 days ago, quickening clear approaching final 1f. Hit with 7 lb rise but looks capable of following up. Looked good at Doncaster on recent return; up 7lb and not guaranteed to back it up.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 -10%) Sir Benedict		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(8) Sir Benedict 11/2, Edged out a next-time out winner at Southwell last month and followed up back there in 9-runner handicap (5f) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Remains well treated on old form and much respected in hat-trick bid. 2-2 since cheekpieces went on; handles soft well, probably heavy; contender.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -57%) Some Nightmare		22 22/1(-57%)																															(2) Some Nightmare 22/1, Fair handicapper who shaped as if better for the run when down the field in 10-runner event at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago. Down to a good mark; sharper with his reappearance behind him; not ruled out.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 -50%) Willingly		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Willingly 12/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October and ran well when second of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Newmarket (5f, soft) on final outing, well positioned. Off 156 days and his record suggests he may just need the run. Ended 2023 on the up and has a fine record on heavy ground; five-month break the worry.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/1 -83%) Port Noir		11 11/1(-83%)																															(9) Port Noir 11/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1) 6 days ago. Down in trip and respected under a penalty. Won well at Wolverhampton on Monday but down 2f in trip and the ground is a real concern.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 +12%) Katar		22 22/1(+12%)																															(10) Katar 22/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs and only ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 27 days ago. Passed over from 1 lb out of the weights. Exposed 27-race maiden; suitability of the ground has to be taken on trust.

17:25 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

THORNABY PEARL returned to action with an all-the-way success at Doncaster a fortnight ago and, with Mia Nicholls' 5lb claim negating most of the 7lb rise he incurred for that victory, he might be tough to beat. That said, Sir Benedict arrives following two victories on Southwell's Tapeta surface and he must be respected back on the grass, along with Willingly, who looks set to relish forecast conditions as she returns from a 156-day absence. Port Noir is also noted.

THORNABY PEARL returned at the very top of his game when scoring in good style on his reappearance at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and will take a bit of stopping if turning up here in similar form. Sir Benedict and Port Noir head the opposition.

Cheekpieces have had a positive effect on SIR BENEDICT and he is taken to complete his hat-trick.

Fourth of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 68 days ago. Could bounce back after a break. Shot back to form exactly one year ago and that was a win over C&D on soft off 9lb higher.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -220%) Alafdhal		16 16/1(-220%)																															(4) Alafdhal 16/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 12/1) 16 days ago. Has an uninspiring turf record. Doing well on the AW; had a win on good to soft in June 2022, unraced on worse.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/2 -50%) One Hart		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(9) One Hart 15/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 49 days ago. Had been shaping up well prior to that and might get back on track after a break. Short-head defeat over 7.4f on soft last May; three minor honours on AW this January.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +13%) So Smart		7 7/1(+13%)																															(3) So Smart 7/1, One win from 32 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving David Evans. Others make more appeal. Ended last summer off the boil and left David Evans for 1,000gns last October.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -43%) Sugar Hill Babe		10 10/1(-43%)																															(2) Sugar Hill Babe 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 11/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. 1st and 2nd before a lesser show last time; well held last July on her only run on soft.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 +25%) Danzart		9 9/1(+25%)																															(5) Danzart 9/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Reappearance effort is easily excused and he's becoming well treated. Needs to have come on a lot since return but there was a major problem with his blindfold.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -10%) My Genghis		11 11/1(-10%)																															(7) My Genghis 11/1, 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm), hampered. Off 7 months. Out of sorts when last seen so hard to make a strong case for. Out of form last summer on last three starts; ran creditably in one of three races on soft.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -100%) Pablo Del Pueblo		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Pablo Del Pueblo 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 38 days ago. Others make more appeal. Latest creditable run was on New Year's Eve; bit to prove also on worse than good to soft.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 -125%) Four Adaay		9 9/1(-125%)																															(1) Four Adaay 9/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good, 14/1). Off 180 days. Becoming well treated and has won fresh in the past, so she's worth taking a chance on in a weak race. Two backward steps to end last term; that's after a very solid sequence, including on soft.

SARAH'S VERSE has been running with credit on the all-weather in recent months and she looks primed to strike back at this venue. Ron Harris' charge landed a fillies' handicap on this card a year ago from a 9lb higher mark and with conditions in her favour, including a low draw, she looks sure to mount a stern challenge. Four Adaay has a solid record when fresh and she must be considered from a competitive rating, while Danzart, who had excuses at Doncaster last time out, should not be underestimated.

FOUR ADAAY drops in grade and she's made a successful reappearance in the past so, in a race where most have something to prove, she could be the one to side with. One Hart is liable to bounce back from a poor run, so he's considered, while Sugar Hill Babe is another one who could return to form.

This may well be best left to SARAH'S VERSE (nap) staging the sort of revival which brought her wins at this meeting in 2021 and 2023.
