Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +0%) Ajyad	1.88 1.88/1(+0%)	(3) Ajyad 1.88/1, Australia filly who posted a promising second of 6 in minor event (18/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 21 days ago. Open to more progress so she rates a big player. Kept on for second in a fillies' novice event latest; likely contender on her turf debut..
2	4 2nd (4) (1.75/1 +0%) Miss Dolly Rocker	1.75 1.75/1(+0%)	(4) Miss Dolly Rocker 1.75/1, Lightly-raced filly. 4/1, respectable second of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 163 days. Up in trip. Much respected on her turf debut. Placed in all four starts at two; may be able to kick on again after a break, up in trip..
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +25%) Ala Kaifi	6 6/1(+25%)	(1) Ala Kaifi 6/1, £27,000 yearling, Mondialiste colt. Closely related to 1½m winner Despoina. Dam, 9.5f-1½m winner, sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Anatolian. Respected newcomer. £27,000 yearling; closely related to 1m4f winner Despoina; dam 9.4f-1m4f AW winner..
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -14%) Al Tarfa	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Al Tarfa 4/1, Twice-raced gelding. Hooded for 1st time, good third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 66/1) 23 days ago. In the mix. Will need to settle better now upped in trip but looks a big player if he can do so..

LTO Selection:

13:40 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MISS DOLLY ROCKER filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield over a mile in December, when just touched off by a short head. The daughter of Frontiersman is bred to get further and can unlock the improvement needed to shed her maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. The main threat might be Ajyad, who took a step forward when upped to this distance last time, while any market support for Ala Kaifi should be noted.

AJYAD shaped well when runner-up at Newcastle and is fancied to go one better here with further progress on the cards for this daughter of Australia. Miss Dolly Rocker has the form to have a big say too and is feared most, although a market move for newcomer Ala Kaifi would put a slightly different slant on things.

The suggestion is AL TARFA, who came on plenty on his second start and is selected in the hope that he can settle better this time.

14:15 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +21%) Jimmy Mark	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(7) Jimmy Mark 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, headway out wide over 2f out and keeping on. That was his best effort yet but he'll need to find further progress to get involved here. Modest form in 5 starts but this isn't overly competitive & it's still early days for him.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -6%) Pink Lily	2 2/1(-6%)	(3) Pink Lily 2/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 6/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago, cosily. Claims once more under a penalty. Won well over C&D last week and leading claims despite her 6lb penalty.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +50%) Star Sprite	2.5 2.5/1(+50%)	(4) Star Sprite 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 4 in handicap (2/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 47 days ago, not seeing things out over the marked longer trip on back of 7 months off. This ought to reveal more having first crack at 10f. Hasn't lived up to market expectation on a couple of occasions; flashed tail latest.
4	1 4th (1) (25/1 -108%) Man Made Of Smoke	25 25/1(-108%)	(1) Man Made Of Smoke 25/1, Belatedly shed maiden tag at Wolverhampton (9.5f) at the start of the month but not in same form turned out under a penalty when last of 6 over that trip/track 14 days ago. Blinkers replace usual visor back on turf but he may find a couple too good. 21st time lucky when winning at Wolverhampton this month; less good last time; needs more.
5th	5 5th (5) (28/1 -155%) Native Melody	28 28/1(-155%)	(5) Native Melody 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 80/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip and rider takes off a very handy 3 lb once more. Modest form to date; cheekpieces left off today; not bred to relish this longer trip.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -78%) Fullforward	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Fullforward 4/1, 18/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, challenging inside final 1f and keeping on. Expected to be bang there. In front of Pink Lily latest and 4lb better off today; strong claims.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 +18%) Alicefromumbridge	18 18/1(+18%)	(6) Alicefromumbridge 18/1, Respectable 7¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Pink Lily in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 40/1) 9 days ago, plenty to do over 2f out and plodding on. More needed if she's to double career tally here. 1m AW winner in January but not progressing and behind Pink Lily over C&D last week.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

FULLFORWARD (second) had Pink Lily (third) behind at Salisbury on his latest outing and is now 4lb better off at the weights, as the latter went on to strike over this course and distance. If he is able to reproduce that level of form, the son of Tamayuz could prove very tough to beat. Another to consider is Star Sprite, who remains unexposed and was not beaten far on her handicap debut.

A winner over 1m on his final start as a juvenile, FULLFORWARD ran his best race yet for his new yard when runner-up over this sort of trip at Salisbury 3 weeks ago (Pink Lily placed third) and he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. The latter-named, a subsequent winner over C&D 9 days ago, rates a big threat however, ahead of Star Sprite.

Pink Lily won well over C&D last week but she may have to give best to FULLFORWARD at these weights.

14:50 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/1 -29%) Mayo Neighs	11 11/1(-29%)	(6) Mayo Neighs 11/1, Foaled February 14. 95,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Bosh and 5f-7f winner Porfin. Dam 7f winner who stayed 9f. Lots to like on paper.
2	5 2nd (5) (0.91/1 +17%) Mashadi	0.91 0.91/1(+17%)	(5) Mashadi 0.91/1, Showed quite a bit of ability again when second of 7 in minor event at York (5f, firm, 5/2) 9 days ago, keeping on well inside final 1f. May yet do better.
3	11 3rd (11) (6/1 +0%) Toca Madera	6 6/1(+0%)	(11) Toca Madera 6/1, Foaled January 29. €40,000 foal, £45,000 yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Hala Hala Hala and 7f/1m winner Cobra Kai. Dam 2-y-o 7f/1m winner. Check betting.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +57%) Loaded Gun	12 12/1(+57%)	(4) Loaded Gun 12/1, 9/2, proved to be a disappointment when thirteenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (5f, heavy) on debut 55 days ago.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Succession	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(1) Succession 3.33/1, Promising type. Won 8-runner maiden (13/8) at this C&D (soft) 25 days ago, in control when running green final 1f. Should progress further.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 -120%) The Liegeman	11 11/1(-120%)	(10) The Liegeman 11/1, Foaled March 4. 52,000 gns yearling, 170,000 gns 2-y-o, Equiano colt. Brother to 3 winners, including high-class 6f winner The Tin Man and 5f winner Persaria. Dam 6f/7f winner. Interesting.
7th	2 7th (2) (80/1 -21%) Dan Dee Prince	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Dan Dee Prince 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, stiff task when last of 11 in minor event at Chester (5.1f, heavy) 16 days ago.
8th	8 8th (8) (80/1 -21%) Rust E Boy	80 80/1(-21%)	(8) Rust E Boy 80/1, 12/1, went backwards from debut under much less-testing conditions when eighth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -50%) Tea Leaf Ted	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Tea Leaf Ted 150/1, Hopelessly green when last of 7 in maiden at Leicester (5f, heavy, 4/1) on debut 13 days ago.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 +39%) No Sinner	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) No Sinner 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fared better than previously when third of 6 in maiden (17/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Succession made all last time over course and distance but he now has to carry a 7lb penalty, which could open the door for the Richard Hannon-trained MASHADI. The son of Blue Point was just touched off on his second career start at York and he can score here. The Liegeman, who is a full-brother to the multiple Group 1 winner The Tin Man, should be monitored in the betting.

Mashadi has finished runner-up on both outings so far and he may find one too strong again here in the shape of MAYO NEIGHS, who has plenty of speed in his pedigree and confidence would only heighten should market support arrive. Recent C&D winner Succession can fight out third spot with debutant The Liegeman.

Dual silver medallist MASHADI (nap) is taken to go one better. Succession and newcomer The Liegeman are feared most.

14:50 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:25 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 5.5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (5.5/1 +0%) Redredrobin	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(9) Redredrobin 5.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/2) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, driven out. Escapes a penalty and she has to enter calculations, for all that this looks tougher. Unpenalised for last week's Salisbury win and therefore 4lb well in; considered.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +11%) Granary Queen	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Granary Queen 4/1, Course winner. 9/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 8 days ago, finding less than looked likely. This drop in trip is an interesting move and she's one to consider. Usually seen over further but she's talented and a strong pace will suit back in trip.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 -5%) Coup De Force	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(1) Coup De Force 3.5/1, 12/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Eased in class here and she's high on the shortlist. Good 2nd in a stronger race at Goodwood 3 weeks ago; leading contender against her own sex.
4	7 4th (7) (20/1 -82%) Starsong	20 20/1(-82%)	(7) Starsong 20/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable 1½ lengths second of 6 to Four Adaay in handicap at Kempton (6f, 17/2) 16 days ago. Will probably find one or two too good once more. Three 6f AW wins for this yard; behind Four Adaay at Kempton latest; fast ground a ?.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +33%) Four Adaay	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(5) Four Adaay 3.33/1, Won 6-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 5/4) 16 days ago by 1½ lengths from Starsong, readily. 4 lb rise is hardly draconian and no surprise at all if she's in the mix once again. In good form this spring, beating Starsong on AW most recently; should be in the mix.
6th	2 6th (2) (8.5/1 -42%) Sarah's Verse	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(2) Sarah's Verse 8.5/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest off 5 lb lower here last month. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy, 4/1) 11 days ago and probably a shade too high in the weights for now. C&D win on Good Friday has been followed by two lesser efforts; others better treated.
7th	4 7th (4) (6.5/1 +35%) Hello Me	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(4) Hello Me 6.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 112 days and she looks vulnerable from a win point of view. On losing run; good 2nd on AW in Jan but coughing after lesser run in Feb; risks involved.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -83%) Vaunted	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Vaunted 22/1, Last of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Ripon (5f, good) when last seen in September (reportedly bled). Probably best watched starting out for new yard. Good record fresh but not much wiggle room off this mark ahead of her stable debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (33/1 -32%) Hersilia	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Hersilia 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f). Off 6 months and needs to raise her game. Lightly raced but she is in a competitive race after her absence and others are stronger.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 5.5f Race Class Flow

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

COUP DE FORCE was only narrowly denied in a higher grade at Goodwood three weeks ago and the daughter of Lethal Force could be hard to stop off just a 1lb higher mark. Four Adaay is an obvious threat to the selection following her victory at Kempton earlier in the month. Redredrobin does not have to carry a penalty for her win at Salisbury recently and completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to the consistent GRANARY QUEEN, who has done most of her racing at 7f/1m but it could be that sprinting is her game after all. Coup de Force is accorded a great deal of respect on the back of a solid effort in a higher-grade handicap at Goodwood, while last week's Salisbury winner Redredrobin and Four Adaay are others to consider.

Coup De Force ran well in a better race last time but GRANARY QUEEN should get a good pace to aim at and can come out on top.

16:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 +56%) My Delilah	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(1) My Delilah 3.33/1, Failed to repeat her previous effort at this C&D when fifth of 9 in handicap (13/2) back here (soft) 25 days ago, forced to switch and hampered rival over 1f out. Could fare better on only third start for current yard. Good start for this yard over C&D last month but less good here latest; others preferred.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 +33%) Desert Illusion	8 8/1(+33%)	(3) Desert Illusion 8/1, After 8 months off, ran no sort of race when last of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs to leave her reappearance well behind with cheekpieces on 1st time. Flickers of ability at two, including C&D; well held on soft on return; headgear added now.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +45%) Flying Barty	3 3/1(+45%)	(2) Flying Barty 3/1, Wasn't able to improve when sixth of 10 on nursery debut at Ayr (6f, good, 22/1) when last seen in September. Off 8 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Watch for market clues. Just modest form for K Ryan last year; down in grade for stable debut; not fully exposed.
4	11 4th (11) (16/1 -33%) Alaskan	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Alaskan 16/1, Went backwards from previous effort when last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago. Improvement required as she drops back down in trip. Went close when well backed at Southwell on his handicap debut (6f) but yet to build on it.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 -106%) Pearly Gaits	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Pearly Gaits 33/1, Not in the same form as previous outing when last of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 14/1) 23 days ago. Bounce back called for, though it does still remain early days. 2nd at Windsor in April but well held last time; withdrawn after getting loose last week.
6th	6 6th (6) (5.5/1 -65%) Alainn Tu	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(6) Alainn Tu 5.5/1, Off the mark at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the month and backed up that effort when third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 17 days ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Major player. Effective over C&D and comes here on the up; more appealing than most.
7th	7 7th (7) (8.5/1 +0%) Mick Says No	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(7) Mick Says No 8.5/1, On her second start in a handicap, only fourth of 8 at Brighton (5.3f, good, 22/1) on turf debut 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could still have more to offer back on all-weather. Two promising runs at Wolverhampton in March; yet to build on them in handicaps.
8th	5 8th (5) (8.5/1 +53%) Mayz	8.5 8.5/1(+53%)	(5) Mayz 8.5/1, Little impact in a trio of minor events last year, sixth of 10 at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 200/1) in November. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving John Spearing. Makes handicap debut. Bred to leave her 2yo form behind her at some point; this more suitable on stable debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -203%) Enterprising Lady	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Enterprising Lady 100/1, Has fared no better switched to handicaps this year, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Well beaten in two handicap runs this spring; addition of cheekpieces not enough to tempt.
10th	4 10th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Miss Moonshine	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Miss Moonshine 8.5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, with her latest success at Lingfield in February. Possibly not 100% when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 3/1) 77 days ago. Can get back on track after a break. In good form on AW over the winter; fair claims back on turf after 11 weeks off.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

This represents a considerable drop in class for Flying Barty, who was last seen finishing sixth at Ayr in September. She makes her stable debut for Stuart Williams here and is taken to improve, but ALAINN TU has previous track form and shades the vote following some respectable efforts on the all-weather recently. Mayz makes her handicap bow and is another to consider.

ALAINN TU has shown improved form since her reappearance, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton at the start of the month before not being seen to best effect when third at Lingfield 6 days later. She is taken to resume winning ways at the expense of Miss Moonshine, who can leave her latest run behind following a break. My Delilah completes the shortlist.

Flying Barty could have more to come this year but DESERT ILLUSION is preferred back on fast ground and with headgear tried.

1	8 1st (8) (4.5/1 +63%) Savalas	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(8) Savalas 4.5/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, fared no better than of late when eighth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago, though did get a bump at the start. Others preferred. Plummeting in the weights but there are few signs that his losing run is about to end..
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +29%) Jacquelina	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Jacquelina 10/1, After 11 weeks off, back on track when fourth of 7 in maiden (66/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 24 days ago. Needs to find extra as she makes her handicap debut. Worth a try in handicap company and she's a potential player from this workable mark..
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -64%) Thank The Lord	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Thank The Lord 18/1, After 4 months off, possibly needed the run when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 15/2) 76 days ago. Cheekpieces back on, but will need to find more to defy his current mark. Best form would give him claims but needs a big revival after two well below-par efforts..
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -100%) Griggy	14 14/1(-100%)	(9) Griggy 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Not seen to best effect when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 14/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Capable if on a going day with good-value claimer on board. Eight-time 6f AW winner who is 0-4 on turf; hard to make a case for him on recent form..
5th	7 5th (7) (2/1 +43%) The Cola Kid	2 2/1(+43%)	(7) The Cola Kid 2/1, Ran much better than on reappearance when fourth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark so could be ready to get back to winning ways. Took a step back in the right direction when a running on fourth latest; not ruled out..
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -27%) Bluebell Way	28 28/1(-27%)	(6) Bluebell Way 28/1, C&D winner. However, lightly raced in recent times and has finished down the field all 3 starts this year, in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 24 days ago. Yet to get involved for this trainer; handy mark if return to this C&D sparks a revival..
7th	10 7th (10) (5.5/1 -10%) Notre Maison	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(10) Notre Maison 5.5/1, After 7 months off, shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 15 in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 11/) 25 days ago. Merits consideration with her reappearance behind her. Placed three times over 5f and if returning to that form she would be thereabouts..
8th	2 8th (2) (10/1 -67%) Alfred Cove	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Alfred Cove 10/1, Remains a maiden, but returned to form when third of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 25/1) 15 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort back on turf. If transferring his latest AW form back to turf he has claims; inconsistency is a concern..
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -64%) Quarter Blue	18 18/1(-64%)	(11) Quarter Blue 18/1, 12/1 and visored for 1st time, below form when tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) when last seen in October, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on as he returns from 7 months off. Placed C&D; some of her better efforts have been when fresh; possible each-way player..
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 +36%) More Than Likely	14 14/1(+36%)	(4) More Than Likely 14/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if in need of the outing when ninth of 13 in handicap (40/1) back at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. Others still more persuasive. Won a division of this last year at 40-1; now 2lb lower and recently below par..
11th	1 11th (1) (10/1 -25%) Suanni	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Suanni 10/1, C&D winner. Run best excused when last of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 22 days ago, racing wide. Now 3 lb below his last winning mark, so could leave his form so far this year behind. C&D winner; form has not yet picked up again in two AW starts this spring; handy mark..

LTO Selection:

16:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ALFRED COVE arrives here following a respectable third on the all-weather at Chelmsford earlier this month and he must enter calculations if transferring that form back onto turf. The Cola Kid finished fourth when short of room late on over course and distance last time out and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Notre Maison also warrants a market check.

Fitter for his reappearance, THE COLA KID ran much better in a change of headgear when fourth at this C&D 9 days ago and he could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Notre Maison shaped as if she'd be better for the run here last time and is feared most, while Suanni isn't one to write off having dropped to a career-low mark.

The suggestion is JACQUELINA, the pick of whose form prior to this handicap debut suggests she may be capable of defying this mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +20%) We're Reunited	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) We're Reunited 6/1, C&D winner. After a further 8 weeks off, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/1) 24 days ago. Can give another good account with blinkers back on. On a handy mark if a return to this track can help him pull out a bit more; player..
2	9 2nd (9) (25/1 -257%) Reckon I'm Hot	25 25/1(-257%)	(9) Reckon I'm Hot 25/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 15/2) 13 days ago. Needs to build on his latest effort. If transferring AW ability back to turf he could get involved but he has that to prove..
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 +0%) Fact Or Fable	11 11/1(+0%)	(7) Fact Or Fable 11/1, Ended long losing run at Brighton in May. 8/1, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Can give his running again. Couldn't reproduce winning form after a 3lb rise at Chepstow latest; each-way player..
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 +0%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Tilsworth Ony Ta 20/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 14/1, raced too freely in first-time visor when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces now the choice of headgear. Well below par in three turf starts since 5f win; cheekpieces go on; more needed..
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +20%) Fristel	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Fristel 4/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Again ran respectably when seventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 8/1) 15 days ago. Needs to find more but Billy Loughnane takes off a valuable 3 lb. Placed over C&D last spring in one of only three turf starts; not ruled out of the money..
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 -65%) Fair And Square	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(3) Fair And Square 5.5/1, Remains a maiden after 35 Flat runs. In a change of headgear and ridden by Connor Planas, bounced back to form when second of 13 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more. 0-35; inconsistent but better efforts, such as over C&D latest, give him each-way claims..
7th	5 7th (5) (6/1 -9%) Boarhunt	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Boarhunt 6/1, Off the mark at Wolverhampton in February and soon back on track when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 20/1) 38 days ago. Remains lightly raced and he can make a winning turf debut. Drop in trip looks fine given his style of running; up 2lb and looks a big player..
8th	4 8th (4) (3.5/1 +75%) Port Noir	3.5 3.5/1(+75%)	(4) Port Noir 3.5/1, C&D winner. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 27 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights but has a bit to prove at present. Visor back on. C&D winner; losing run is now 24 starts but she is not ruled out each-way..
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 -100%) Swiss Magic	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Swiss Magic 100/1, Remains with little form, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 100/1) when last seen in October. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Well beaten at big prices in all six starts from 6f-9.5f..
10th	2 10th (2) (6.5/1 +13%) Portelet Bay	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(2) Portelet Bay 6.5/1, C&D winner. 12/1, laboured effort when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark, but needs the return to turf to spark a return to form. Handy mark after AW losing run; market can help indicate whether a revival is anticipated..

LTO Selection:

17:05 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

FAIR AND SQUARE looks to be the most solid proposition here as Ronald Harris' runner shaped well when second of 13 over this track and trip last time. With that in mind, he can go one better today off the same mark. Boarhunt is another who was second on his most recent outing, while Fact Or Fable may benefit from a drop in trip.

Having opened his account at Wolverhampton in February, BOARHUNT quickly left a below-par effort behind when runner-up at Southwell last month and Mick Appleby's 4-y-o could still have more to offer now switched to turf. He can get the better of Fair And Square who returned to form at this C&D 9 days ago, with We're Reunited another to consider.

Preference is for the unexposed BOARHUNT, who should cope with this drop in trip and is open to some improvement.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (14/1 -17%) My Ambition	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) My Ambition 14/1, After 6 months off, shaped as if better for the run when 12¾ lengths eleventh of 13 to Havana Goldrush in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 9/2) 35 days ago. On a workable mark with his reappearance behind him. Well behind two of these on his return from a 177-day absence over C&D last month.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Mabre	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(3) Mabre 3.33/1, Ridden by Olivia Tubb, bounced back to his best when winning 12-runner apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 7 days ago. Leading contender racing off the same mark. Avoids a penalty for recent Newbury success, but fast ground would be a worry.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.33/1 +49%) Havana Goldrush	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(6) Havana Goldrush 3.33/1, C&D winner in April and good second here next time. After just 3 days off, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW, 11/4) 22 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this venue. Two good efforts over C&D on good to soft lately, but quick ground here would be a concern.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +0%) Ermin Street	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Ermin Street 5/1, Best effort of the year when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm, 13/2) 9 days ago, short of room around 1f out. Not dismissed lightly as he drops back down in trip. 1-14 and out of the frame in all six starts for this yard; may need further than this now.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +33%) Eye Of The Water	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Eye Of The Water 3/1, Has won twice this year, with his latest success at this C&D in May. Not discredited when third of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Respected. Best form on good and softer including C&D win, but has run well on fast ground.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -79%) Sisters In The Sky	50 50/1(-79%)	(2) Sisters In The Sky 50/1, Struggling for form at present, faring no better in first-time blinkers when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 28/1) 10 days ago. Has lost his way lately including in three starts for this yard; hard to recommend.
7th	5 7th (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Trans Montana	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(5) Trans Montana 8.5/1, Runner-up all 4 starts in 2022. After 9 months off, possibly needed the run when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Could get back on track. 0-12 and will need to fare better than on her return from a lengthy absence this month.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 +29%) Keeper's Choice	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Keeper's Choice 10/1, Four-time C&D winner. However, her form went the wrong way last year, fourth of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 80/1) when last seen in December. Three-time C&D winner on good and faster ground; has gone well fresh in the past.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Mabre was a good winner over 1m at Newbury a week ago and another bold bid can be expected off the same mark, but the nod goes to TRANS MONTANA. Clive Cox's charge was competitive off this mark last season and a line can be put through her run last time after finding trouble in running. Eye Of The Water has raced here three times and has never been out of the first four, so another bold bid can be expected.

MABRE looked as good as ever at Newbury a week ago when gaining a third success of the year and he can score again off the same mark this time around. Heading the list of dangers is Eye of The Water who won over C&D on his penultimate start, while Revolutionary Man isn't one to take lightly if he makes a quick turnaround.

The mare KEEPER'S CHOICE looks interesting having dropped 4lb lower than for the last of her three C&D wins on good and faster ground.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
