13:56 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +50%) On The Right Track	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(2) On The Right Track 3.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 12/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not ruled out. Won 5 of his 25 starts and conditions should be fine; looks good for second here.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.25/1 -47%) Glenister	0.25 0.25/1(-47%)	(1) Glenister 0.25/1, Promising type. 3 wins from 3 runs this year. 2/5, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, firm) 8 days ago with plenty in hand. Hard to oppose despite 8 lb rise in his bid for a four-timer. 3-3 since a wind op and still has more to come; major player in another weak race.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +0%) Chelsea Annie	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Chelsea Annie 16/1, Last of 8 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, 50/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on returned to the Flat but it's now seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Not at her best on AW this winter and struggled over hurdles the last twice.

LTO Selection:

13:56 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GLENISTER completed a quick-fire hat-trick in the space of a week at Brighton last Friday and a further 8lb rise looks unlikely to prevent him from racking up a four-timer. On The Right Track is now only 2lb higher than his most recent triumph at Wolverhampton in March and looks the chief threat, while Chelsea Annie returns to the Flat from a spell over hurdles.

GLENISTER remains ahead of his mark despite taking an 8 lb rise in the weights on the back of his easy Brighton success and is confidently expected to go 4-4 this season. On The Right Track appeals as the one to chase home Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile sort ahead of Chelsea Annie.

On The Right Track may ensure he doesn't have things all his own way but this looks good for GLENISTER to complete his four-timer.

14:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.5/1 -17%) Absolute Queen	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(3) Absolute Queen 3.5/1, 9/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (1¼m, good) 22 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. 0-7 but has shown potential, including over 1m2f, and she's now tackling her first Class 6.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +11%) Yellow Lion	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Yellow Lion 2/1, Good third of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Expected to be bang there if stamina holds. Stayed on for 3rd at Goodwood last week; down in class and up in trip; can do better.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +25%) Princess T	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Princess T 3/1, Fit from jumping, shaped better than the result when fifth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm) 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Should go well. Multiple Flat winner in Jersey; promising run at Windsor last month; leading claims.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 +33%) Kraken Filly	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Kraken Filly 8/1, Belatedly off the mark in C&D handicap in May. 11/4, fourth of 7 in classified event back here (firm) 8 days ago, going off too hard. Likely still in form. C&D winner last month (good) but not at the same level on firm here last week.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +13%) Uther Pendragon	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Uther Pendragon 14/1, C&D winner. 25/1, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Completed AW hat-trick in December; quiet more recently but conditions to suit.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -50%) Beautiful Eyes	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Beautiful Eyes 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to soft, 8/1) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Yard's good form provides hope for a revival. Not gone on from early promise; another new trip to tackle this time; risky.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PRINCESS T would have likely finished closer but for encountering traffic problems at Windsor last time and compensation could await off the same mark here. Absolute Queen wasn't disgraced when fourth at Pontefract in May and a 1lb drop in the ratings should aid her cause. Yellow Lion is a potential improver now tasked with a stiffer test of stamina and also warrants consideration.

PRINCESS T looked unlucky not to go close (met trouble) when fifth at Windsor last month and can see off younger-rivals Yellow Lion, who steps up markedly in trip, and Absolute Queen.

Absolute Queen is a big player dropped in class but PRINCESS T can gain compensation for an unlucky run at Windsor last month.

15:00 Bath Stakes (Class 4) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.91/1 -10%) Unbreak My Heart	0.91 0.91/1(-10%)	(5) Unbreak My Heart 0.91/1, Produced a promising first effort when third of 6 in minor event at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) on debut 30 days ago, finishing with running left. Sure to improve and very much the one to beat. Serious encouragement when 3rd behind promising fillies at Salisbury; plenty more to come.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Dapperling	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(3) Dapperling 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden who got back on track following a 7-week break when second of 9 in minor event at this course (5.7f, firm) 8 days ago. Should be competitive again. Good 2nd over a bit further here last week; should be in the thick of it again.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Tokyo Drift	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Tokyo Drift 4/1, Matched previous form when respectable third of 10 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Placed in 3 of her 4 starts but without significant progress; vulnerable for the win again.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +38%) Bint Havana Gold	10 10/1(+38%)	(2) Bint Havana Gold 10/1, 17/2, hinted at ability under a considerate ride when seventh of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) on debut 59 days ago. Should improve. Dropped away on her Newmarket debut 8 weeks ago (5f, good to soft); bred for further.
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -29%) Anyone Home	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Anyone Home 18/1, Foaled April 16. €100,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 5f/6f winner Happy Romance and 5.7f/6f winner Red Tycoon. Dam unraced. Wears blinkers. Check betting. 100,000euros half-sister to smart sprinter Happy Romance (RPR 113); blinkered for debut.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Bath Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from UNBREAK MY HEART's debut third at Salisbury last month and any improvement for that experience could make her tough to beat. Tokyo Drift shouldn't mind the return to 5f and may emerge as the selection's main danger, ahead of Dapperling, who ran her best race to date when runner-up at this venue last Friday.

UNBREAK MY HEART produced a promising first effort in a stronger contest than this at Salisbury last month and, with improvement on the cards, should take a fair bit of beating. Dapperling is feared most.

Anyone Home is a newcomer of note but UNBREAK MY HEART can confirm the promise of her Salisbury third on debut.

15:35 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 +12%) Crow's Nest	1.1 1.1/1(+12%)	(1) Crow's Nest 1.1/1, 11/10, confirmed debut promise when landing 5-runner minor event at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, kept up to work. Should have more to offer. Big shout. Took a while to assert before drawing clear at Hamilton latest; drop in trip a query.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.2/1 -70%) Rogue De Vega	3.2 3.2/1(-70%)	(2) Rogue De Vega 3.2/1, Promising type who won 6-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 8/15) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Open to progress. Player. Promise in 2 AW starts, winning well at Chelmsford latest; this requires further progress.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +20%) Never This Way	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Never This Way 2/1, Encouraging debut third of 10 in minor event (11/2) at Kempton (6f) 61 days ago. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time. Can do better. Well beaten into third on debut but behind two useful sorts; accessories added now; chance.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 +24%) Outreach	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Outreach 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 3 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 16/1) 49 days ago, flattered by proximity. Needs to take a big step forward. RPR of 62 in two AW runs; switch to turf needs to spark something extra.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 +56%) Autumn Lights	66 66/1(+56%)	(5) Autumn Lights 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Significantly more is required. Second run better than her first but others look to hold much stronger claims.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In this fascinating contest marginal preference goes to ROGUE DE VEGA, who shed the maiden tag at Chelmsford last time out. The Tom Clover-trained gelding is a full-brother to the useful sprinter Mondammej, and gets the nod to continue his ascendancy under a penalty. The other penalised runner in the field, Crow's Nest, looks the most immediate danger after landing the spoils at Hamilton earlier this month. Never This Way is another to consider.

CROW'S NEST appeals as a typical George Boughey improver and is fancied to build on his Hamilton victory and successfully concede weight all round. Chelmsford City winner Rogue de Vega also has better days ahead of him and rates a big threat though, with Never This Way appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Rogue De Vega is preferred to Crow's Nest of the penalised winners but NEVER THIS WAY may progress past them both.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Gone	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(1) Gone 2.5/1, Made it 3-5 this year in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Gutsy sort who seems sure to go well again nudged up 2 lb. Won 4 of her last 7 and the last two backed up by the clock; solid contender once again.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.62/1 +35%) Oriental Dancer	1.62 1.62/1(+35%)	(2) Oriental Dancer 1.62/1, Yet to get his head in front but he arrives in good form, fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more. Two fair efforts this year and the drop in class will help; one to take seriously.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Passing Time	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Passing Time 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Gelded/off 4 months before very good second of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. In the picture. Improved effort when second at Chepstow on his handicap debut (1m); more to come.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +14%) Apex	6 6/1(+14%)	(4) Apex 6/1, Temperamental sort but he posted a good fourth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 9/1) 11 days ago. Needs to back it up. Fair effort over 7f at Leicester 11 days ago; return to 1m can help but others appeal more.
5th	3 5th (3) (7.5/1 -36%) Lunario	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(3) Lunario 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good neck third of 8 to Gone in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 11/1) 14 days ago. May do better still and very much one to consider off the same mark. Improving with experience and may have beaten Gone last time had he kept straight.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GONE arrives here on the hunt for a hat-trick and the Charlie Johnston-trained filly gets the nod to achieve that feat. The daughter of Gustav Klimt battled on gamely to justify favouritism at Lingfield last time out and she can take another step forward off 2lb higher. Apex hit the line with plenty of conviction over 7f 11 days ago at Leicester and is a big player, while Oriental Dancer complete the shortlist.

GONE showed a good attitude when bagging his third win of 2023 at Lingfield a fortnight ago and can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of the lesser exposed Passing Time, who can build on his latest Chepstow second. In-form maiden Oriental Dancer is another who can have a say in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Lunario and Gone are respected but ORIENTAL DANCER has shown winning potential and this may be her day.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +0%) My Ambition	2 2/1(+0%)	(2) My Ambition 2/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D (firm) 22 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise tolerable and another bold show could be on the way. Made all to win easily over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb higher; other pace to deal with.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.38/1 +31%) Blue Hero	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(3) Blue Hero 1.38/1, Five-time course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 9/4, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (firm) 8 days ago. More needed up 3 lb if he's to complete the hat-trick. Got up late to win 1m2f/1m handicaps here the last twice; major player in hat-trick bid.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +29%) Susanbequick	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Susanbequick 10/1, Good 2¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Blue Hero in handicap at this C&D (firm, 9/1) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to find improvement from somewhere. Not far behind Blue Hero here last week but probably vulnerable once more; headgear tried.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +10%) Cape Cornwall Rose	3 3/1(+10%)	(5) Cape Cornwall Rose 3/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm, 5/2) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and she's of strong interest off the same mark. 15-race maiden but placed over 1m2f on last two starts; new headgear tried today.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MY AMBITION made all in this grade over course and distance last time and is now off a 5lb higher mark. The son of Galileo Gold could have way too much for his rivals here, if he can reproduce anything like that effort. The main threat might be Cape Cornwall Rose, who tries first-time blinkers and they could eke out the improvement needed to have a say, while last-time-out winner Blue Hero is also considered.

Dropping back to 1m should suit CAPE CORNWALL ROSE, who has arguably produced her best efforts in 1¼m handicaps at Brighton the last twice and, if the addition of blinkers help eke out a little more, she could be the answer. My Ambition improved when scoring here last time and he is feared most ahead of fellow recent C&D winner Blue Hero.

A small field but a few that like to get on with it and it could set up well for the hat-trick-seeking BLUE HERO (nap).

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +27%) Russian Rumour	2 2/1(+27%)	(1) Russian Rumour 2/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Likely to be in the mix. Good efforts here (1m6f) and Lingfield (2m) the last twice; should be bang there again.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +43%) Cherry Cola	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Cherry Cola 2/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (7/4) at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Mark unchanged and likely to give another good account. In good form this summer but this test may place too much emphasis on stamina.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Masterdream	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(2) Masterdream 3.33/1, Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft, 3/1) 31 days ago. Creditable fifth of 13 on return over 1¾m here in April (not disgraced over hurdles since) and he's one for the shortlist. Three hurdle wins; finished behind Russian Rumour here in April; others appeal more.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Molliana	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Molliana 7.5/1, 12/1, good fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. This significant step up in trip could work in her favour but she looks vulnerable all the same. Prolific in Jersey and she's run okay on her last two Flat runs; needs more for new trip.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 -23%) Testing Faith	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Testing Faith 8/1, Well-beaten eighth of 10 to Cherry Cola in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm, 10/3) 24 days ago. Up in trip and hood refitted. Others preferred. Poor run latest but previous Southwell run encouraging; unexposed as a stayer.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

CHERRY COLA (third) was just a head behind Russian Rumour (second) last time at Lingfield, but she now has the services of Frederick Larson, which could reverse that order. The daughter of Sixties Icon has been in consistent form this year and can go in again. Appreciate has been running well over hurdles of late and looks an interesting contender on his return to the Flat for the Milton Harris yard.

Preference is for MASTERDREAM, who shaped pretty well on his seasonal reappearance here in April and shaped better than the bare result over hurdles at Worcester since. Russian Rumour has found just one too good on both starts so far this season and she looks set for another leading role, while Appreciate could also be a factor if his recent hurdles form translates back to this sphere. Cherry Cola is likely to be on the premises, too.

Testing Faith and Cherry Cola are considered but RUSSIAN RUMOUR can gain compensation for her recent seconds.

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.
