2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -9%) Grand Duchess Olga	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Grand Duchess Olga 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, only fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers are reached for now. Upped to 11.6f here (good) for handicap debut but failed to show much; now blinkered.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +54%) Vitani	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(7) Vitani 5.5/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to soft, 50/1) 18 days ago. Others have achieved more. Has a little ability but lacks solid form claims; below form over 1m6f last time.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 +13%) Star	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Star 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to soft, 18/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Again achieved little when back for 1m6f handicap on good 18 days ago; headgear enlisted.
5th	5 5th (5) (5.5/1 -214%) Queen Of Steel	5.5 5.5/1(-214%)	(5) Queen Of Steel 5.5/1, 33/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 38 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off a 2 lb lower mark. Brighton 2nd (1m4f) latest; on that show she should stay and may have a bit more to offer.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 +50%) Tiz Likely	50 50/1(+50%)	(6) Tiz Likely 50/1, Last of 14 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm, 125/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Has failed to beat a rival in her three handicaps (1m4f, 1m and 1m2f).

LTO Selection:

16:55 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

QUEEN OF STEEL kept on for second over 1m4f at Brighton when making her handicap debut last month. She remains unexposed and, with plenty of improvement possible, looks to have the edge off a 2lb lower mark. Book Of Tales is likely to enter the reckoning in first-time blinkers following a string of consistent efforts in recent weeks, while Star is capable of better following his return effort at Redcar.

Brighton runner-up QUEEN OF STEEL appeals as the one to beat having been dropped 2 lb in the weights, with Book of Tales looking the best of the rest.

The late gains made by QUEEN OF STEEL over 1m4f at Brighton last time put her top of the list, ahead of Book Of Tales.

17:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.5/1 +56%) Delagate This Lord	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(3) Delagate This Lord 3.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. 11/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon Hodgson and not ruled out.
1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -60%) More Than Likely	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) More Than Likely 16/1, C&D winner. 14/1, only tenth of 11 to Savalas in handicap at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago so more is required.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 -38%) Symbol Of Hope	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(1) Symbol Of Hope 2.75/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago by 1½ lengths from Fair And Square. Up another 5 lb but he has to be taken seriously in his hat-trick bid.
4	2 4th (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Yimou	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(2) Yimou 2.75/1, Thirty four runs since last win in 2020. 9/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Can give another good account.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Savalas	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Savalas 4.5/1, 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 6 lb rise.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -69%) Fair And Square	11 11/1(-69%)	(5) Fair And Square 11/1, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago. Remains a maiden after 36 Flat runs.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -50%) Okaidi	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Okaidi 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, only twelfth of 13 to Symbol of Hope in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SYMBOL OF HOPE landed a double by a length and a half over course and distance last time out and is the one to beat here. He defied a 4lb rise from his penultimate success on that occasion and a further 5lb increase looks unlikely to hold him back. The reopposing Fair And Square is feared most, while Savalas makes some appeal off 6lb higher than when winning here in May.

SYMBOL OF HOPE has resumed in great order and is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise for his recent C&D success and make it 3-3 here in 2023. Savalas also arrives on the back of a C&D victory and is feared most, with Yimou looking set for minor honours once more.

Recent course winners SAVALAS and Symbol Of Hope head the shortlist. Yimou is third choice.

18:03 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Lil Guff	1.5 1.5/1(+20%)	(2) Lil Guff 1.5/1, Not seen to best effect when third of 7 to Glamorous Breeze in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 18 days ago, short of room entering final 1f. Well in the mix eased 1 lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.38/1 -15%) Glamorous Breeze	1.38 1.38/1(-15%)	(1) Glamorous Breeze 1.38/1, Got back on the up with win in 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Up 4 lb but can go well again.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +0%) Amazonian Dream	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Amazonian Dream 3/1, Course winner but he's yet to fire in two runs this term, fourteenth of 18 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Weighted to go well if getting back on track.

LTO Selection:

18:03 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The vote goes to GLAMOROUS BREEZE, who finished well to score over this trip at Windsor last month. She is fancied to confirm form with Lil Guff, who was third on that occasion, but Richard Kingscote's mount can give the daughter of Cable Bay plenty to think about now 5lb better off. Amazonian Dream has yet to show his best in two starts this season and will need to find some improvement.

A case can be made for all three but GLAMOROUS BREEZE got right back on track with a fluent success at Windsor so edges the vote from Lil Guff who came in third that day and now enjoys a 5 lb swing in the weights. Amazonian Dream is weighted to make his mark too if back on song.

The very small field is an issue but the consistent GLAMOROUS BREEZE looks the most likely winner by some way.

18:03 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:38 Bath Stakes (Class 3) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (1.25/1 +9%) Toca Madera	1.25 1.25/1(+9%)	(5) Toca Madera 1.25/1, Promising sort. 6/1, third of 10 in minor event at this course (5f, firm) on debut 14 days ago, doing best work at the finish. Rates the type to have derived plenty from that and one to consider. Forced to switch wide before keeping on well for third over 5f here on recent debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/1 -14%) Dapperling	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Dapperling 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8/11, second of 3 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 53 days ago, no extra final 1f. Heavy ground may well have not been ideal then and this should reveal more returned to a quicker surface. Shaped with significant promise on AW debut; soft ground may not have suited last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -100%) Revenue	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Revenue 9/1, Clearly knew job well when making winning debut in a Brighton maiden (5.2f) in April (beat subsequent winner). Best not judged too harshly on subsequent third in 4-runner Windsor novice 32 days ago and likely has further progress in him. Won at Brighton on debut and had excuses when beaten favourite on second start.
4	3 4th (3) (7.5/1 +46%) Ikhtiary	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(3) Ikhtiary 7.5/1, Foaled March 6. €12,000 foal, €16,000 yearling, 42,000 gns 2-y-o, Harry Angel colt. Closely related to 1m/9f winner Wakeel and half-brother to 5f-9f winner Zabarqan. Out of a useful 6f 2yo winner; bought for 42,000gns last month; could have a say.
5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Empire Of Light	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(2) Empire Of Light 8.5/1, Foaled January 15. 52,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to useful 6f-7f winner Breaking Records and smart 2-y-o 6f and winner Kessaar. Dam unraced. Makes appeal on paper and betting should guide on debut. Brother to a 6f 2yo Group 2 winner; looks the part on paper.
6th	6 6th (6) (8.5/1 -13%) Relentless Warrior	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(6) Relentless Warrior 8.5/1, Soldier's Call colt who left debut effort well behind when second of 11 in a C&D maiden 23 days ago, keeping on. In good hands and likely he can do better still. Bettered inauspicious debut when second over C&D last month; each-way claims at least.
7th	4 7th (4) (5.5/1 +15%) John Steed	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(4) John Steed 5.5/1, Fared best of newcomers when runner-up in 5f maiden here in May. Never figured from wide draw in Lily Agnes at Chester 9 days later but better showing not ruled out returned to calmer waters. Good second over 5f here on debut; subsequent defeat from wide draw at Chester excusable.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 -100%) Mighty Pearl	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Mighty Pearl 100/1, Foaled January 16. 3,000 gns foal, Pearl Secret gelding. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Ffion. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Ffion; stable not prolific with newcomers.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 -17%) Phoenix Moon	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Phoenix Moon 14/1, Foaled March 23. 15,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Starsong. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 7f-11f winner Mixology. Out of a 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 82); would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable.

LTO Selection:

18:38 Bath Stakes (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Revenue could be worth another chance having collided with a goose when third at Windsor on his second start, but he may struggle in giving weight to all of his rivals. Toca Madera shaped well when third here over 5f on debut last month and the extra furlong appears likely to benefit him. The vote, though, goes to EMPIRE OF LIGHT. A full-brother to the Mill Reef winner Kessaar, he can be expected to know his job and is likely to capitalise from a low draw.

TOCA MADERA produced a promising first effort and was noted doing his best work at the finish over the minimum trip here 2 weeks ago. This slightly longer trip will hold no fears and with progress anticipated, he could be the answer. Revenue's latest Windsor run can be overlooked and he's respected, with John Steed and Relentless Warrior also fancied to feature.

Top of the list is TOCA MADERA, who made a very promising debut over the bare 5f on fast ground here a fortnight ago.

19:13 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +50%) Galactic Glow	7 7/1(+50%)	(3) Galactic Glow 7/1, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 9 days ago, effort 3 out and making no impression. Likely to find a few too good back on the level. Has struggled over hurdles this year; reverts to the Flat with career strike-rate now 0-34.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.2/1 +47%) Ladypacksapunch	3.2 3.2/1(+47%)	(5) Ladypacksapunch 3.2/1, Modest filly. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs a couple of these to falter. Regressive maiden who finished well down the field over today's trip in a recent handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (40/1 -43%) Afternoon Tea	40 40/1(-43%)	(1) Afternoon Tea 40/1, Modest gelding. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 50/1) 16 days ago, always behind. Hard to fancy judged on recent exploits. Tailed off when 50-1 for 1m4f AW handicap last month; drops back in trip here.
4	4 4th (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Kraken Filly	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(4) Kraken Filly 2.75/1, Long-standing maiden for Keith Dalgleish who left a low-key debut for new yard in her wake when coming out on top in a C&D handicap 23 days ago, responding well to assert close home. Well served by switch to front-running tactics then and can make her presence felt again with a repeat. Made virtually all to cause 50-1 shock in C&D handicap last month.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 -60%) Bailar Contigo	2 2/1(-60%)	(6) Bailar Contigo 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, matched previous best when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago, hanging right under 3f out and keeping on. One to consider back on turf in a very ordinary affair. Placed in two AW handicap last month (9.4f/1m4f); strong claims if this C&D also suits.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -20%) What An Icon	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) What An Icon 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, eighth of 10 in nursery at Leicester (8.2f, good) in October, weakening 2f out. Switched yards subsequently and more needed to figure on return. Not seen since safely held in two nurseries for Mick Channon in October.
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -22%) Cosmic Star	22 22/1(-22%)	(2) Cosmic Star 22/1, Lightly raced 5-y-o who posted one standout effort for Les Eyre and finished well held on sole start for that yard at Beverley (8.5f) last summer. Acquired by new yard for £7,000 thereafter and the betting may well prove the best guide back from 12 months off. Struggled in all three handicaps for Les Eyre; makes stable debut after one-year absence.

LTO Selection:

19:13 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KRAKEN FILLY appeared to benefit from being ridden more positively when getting off the mark over C&D on her latest start and the five-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to back that performance up. Bailar Contigo has been knocking on the door recently on the all-weather and commands plenty of respect, while the application of a first-time hood and stepping up in trip may aid the cause of What An Icon.

BAILAR CONTIGO has shown some improvement to hit the frame on each of her last 2 starts in handicaps on all weather, and given her low-mileage profile, she could be up to building on those efforts back on turf. Recent C&D winner Kraken Filly looks the main threat.

If her recent AW form can be reproduced on fast turf, BAILAR CONTIGO will be tough to beat in this grade.

19:48 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +25%) King's Code	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) King's Code 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when last of 7 in 10f handicap at Ascot (soft, 12/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Now wears cheekpieces and back down in trip; much too early to dismiss him.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -33%) Outrace	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Outrace 8/1, Broke a frustrating run of seconds when off the mark at Kempton in February. Seemed unsuited by conditions when well held at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on most recent outing and now drops back in trip. Never far away in AW handicaps, nearly all under Tyrese Cameron from front; modest on turf.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.62/1 +25%) Warren Hill	0.62 0.62/1(+25%)	(2) Warren Hill 0.62/1, Shaped encouragingly from a less-than-ideal position after 6 months off (had breathing op) when third of 13 in 8.2f handicap at Leicester (good to firm, 14/1) 11 days ago, running on late. Capable of better still and has leading claims. 14-1 third on seasonal/handicap debut at Leicester (1m, good to firm) from well off pace.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -78%) Butterfly Effect	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Butterfly Effect 8/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Pontefract (10f, good) 14 days ago despite missing break. Back down in trip. Eight-race maiden; blinkered last twice and was not quite at her best form, which is on AW.

LTO Selection:

19:48 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

OUTRACE boasted a consistent level of form on the all-weather earlier this year and Richard Hannon's colt appeared not to handle softer ground when returning to turf at Doncaster in April. The drop back in trip is another positive and he is capable of bouncing back. Warren Hill is open to improvement following her third at Leicester on handicap debut, while King's Code, a stable companion of the selection, is feared in first-time cheekpieces.

The one who stands out is WARREN HILL, who shaped well from a less-than-ideal position when third on her Leicester return 2 weeks ago and appeals as the type to go on improving. Butterfly Effect could do with cutting out the tardy starts but is still second choice.

Warren Hill gave clearly the most positive performance in this field last time out but another chance is given to KING'S CODE.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 -33%) Blue Hero	2.5 2.5/1(-33%)	(3) Blue Hero 2.5/1, Showed the benefit of a recent run to capitalise on a falling mark in 11-runner handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. The third has franked that form since, so he's respected up 2 lb. Four course wins, the latest over 1m2f last month; still on a workable mark; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) Bold And Loyal	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Bold And Loyal 4/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs but wasted no time getting back to form when second of 10 in 1m handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm, 15/2) 8 days ago. Good chance of breaking his duck with a repeat. Ran well when second at Yarmouth last week but is now 0-21.
3	1 3rd (1) (8.5/1 -42%) Villalobos	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(1) Villalobos 8.5/1, Made a winning start for the yard at Lingfield in March and ran well after just 2 days off when fourth in 8-runner at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago. Should go well again. Back on turf after two respectable AW runs last month; probably won't be far away.
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 +11%) Send In The Clouds	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Send In The Clouds 4/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but shaped as if still in good form after 11 weeks off when seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 15 days ago, not clear run 1f out and finishing with running left. Shortlist material. Not seen on turf since 2021 but AW form from February/March gives him a shout here.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +64%) Susanbequick	9 9/1(+64%)	(5) Susanbequick 9/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) on reappearance 4 days ago. Drop in trip should help given how she shaped that day. Ran okay over 11.4f on Monday and may benefit from this drop back in trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Available Angel	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Available Angel 6.5/1, Probably needed the run after 6 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not dismissed on the pick of her form. Claims on last summer's fast-ground form but recent seasonal debut was underwhelming.
7th	9 7th (9) (80/1 -300%) Pretty Green	80 80/1(-300%)	(9) Pretty Green 80/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Brighton (8f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Must improve. Unplaced all six starts in 2022 and makes stable debut after 11-month absence.
8th	8 8th (8) (22/1 +33%) Joli's Legacy	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Joli's Legacy 22/1, One win from 21 Flat runs and ran as well as could be expected when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) in March. Off 91 days. Yet to add to AW win in 2021 and seasonal debut was no better than satisfactory.
9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 +64%) Thewaytothestars	12 12/1(+64%)	(2) Thewaytothestars 12/1, Maiden who again finished well held in a first-time visor and tongue strap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 88 days ago. Hard to fancy after a break. Out of form on AW at start of this year; returns to turf with quite a bit ti prove.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Course specialist BLUE HERO scored again here over 1m2f last time out and should be well suited by the drop back in trip. The five-year-old remains well handicapped compared to his old form and gets the vote ahead of Villalobos, and Bold And Loyal, who has been runner-up on two of his last three starts. Send In The Clouds is a player based on the pick of his form as well.

SEND IN THE CLOUDS is more consistent than most at this level which counts for plenty, so he's put forward as the answer. Blue Hero and Villalobos head the opposition.

Four-time course winner BLUE HERO (nap) can handle firm ground and is probably still on a workable mark after his recent 1m2f success.

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.
