17:02 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (3/1 +50%) Sarah's Verse	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) Sarah's Verse 3/1, 3-time C&D winner. 3/1, another good effort despite not getting clear run when third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago, running on. Player. Back in good form when length defeats at Ascot and Yarmouth the last twice.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -100%) Magnificence	5 5/1(-100%)	(1) Magnificence 5/1, Consistency has never been her strong suit and it's now thirteen runs since her last win in 2021, though she only went down on the nod when second of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, heavy, 13/2) 19 days ago and has the benefit of Billy Loughnane aboard. Another good show is expected. Hard to win with (1-17) but only just failed at Ffos Las 19 days ago.
8	8 (8) (7/1 -27%) Symbol Of Hope	7 7/1(-27%)	(8) Symbol Of Hope 7/1, 5-time course winner. 4/1, again ran well when second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Should be bang there again. Five course wins (5f-5.5f) and runner-up on his last two visits under positive rides.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +13%) Beyond Equal	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Beyond Equal 7/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Becoming well treated. Continues to flatter to deceive in his races and the losing run is mounting up.
2	2 (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Parisiac	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Parisiac 7.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June and followed that victory with a pair of respectable performances. Disappointing when fourth of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Windsor (6f, good) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Entitled to be winning races off this mark and the blinkers are back on.
3	3 (3) (7.5/1 +17%) Airshow	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(3) Airshow 7.5/1, 4-time course winner. 6/1, shaped as if still in form when third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Little margin for error off current mark but unlikely to be far away.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +27%) Connie's Rose	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Connie's Rose 8/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 11/4, not disgraced when third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Sound place claims. Five-time winner, the latest over slightly shorter here in June; bit below par since.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -10%) The Princes Poet	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) The Princes Poet 11/1, Latest win at Brighton in May. 13/2, shaped better than the bare result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 53 days ago, travelling well before meeting trouble more than once in closing stages. Can make presence felt. Returned to winning form at Brighton (6f, firm) and had issues at the start the last twice.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +28%) Ruby Cottage	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Ruby Cottage 18/1, Three-time C&D winner hasn't beaten a rival in pair of outings at this course since returning from a year absence in July. Lots to prove at present. Dangerous mark but difficult to trust after beating nothing in her two starts this season.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -257%) Reve De Magritte	50 50/1(-257%)	(11) Reve De Magritte 50/1, Winner at Pornichet late last year for E. Libaud and has posted mostly respectable efforts since, possibly unsuited by conditions when last of 4 in handicap (3/1) at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) on UK debut 11 days ago. Capable of better this time. Her French win came at 1m and she finished last of the four runners over 5f at Ffos Las.

LTO Selection:

17:02 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SYMBOL OF HOPE is tipped to gain a deserved success having finished a narrow runner-up over C&D on his last two starts and the booking of Ray Dawson also looks a positive move, having won on him twice in May. Magnificence was denied by the narrowest of margins last month and this lightly longer trip could be ideal for the son of Kingman. Four-time course winner Airshow was a respectable third at Windsor three weeks ago and should appreciate a return to this venue.

THE PRINCES POET caught the eye at Newbury last time and Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding tops the shortlist here, with the strong pace likely to play to his strengths granted more luck in running. Magnificence isn't the most reliable but she'll be hard to knock out of the frame if in the same form as when a close second at Ffos Las last time, whilst course-specialist Symbol of Hope and the in-form Sarah's Verse are also players in a decent heat.

Course winner SARAH'S VERSE looks sure to go well again after competitive efforts at Ascot and Yarmouth.

7	7 (7) (2.25/1 +10%) Kandoo	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(7) Kandoo 2.25/1, Fair form. First run since leaving Jack Davison in Ireland when creditable second of 9 in C&D maiden (good) 15 days ago, rallying. Cheekpieces on first time. Leading claims. Third on final two starts in Ireland; solid C&D 2nd on debut for yard; bang there.
10	10 (10) (3.2/1 +9%) Sparklight	3.2 3.2/1(+9%)	(10) Sparklight 3.2/1, Fair form when runner-up in 5f/6f novices at Kempton in May. Firmly in the picture once more back from a break. Promising over 6f on AW in May; should handle turf; competitive if fit for the fray.
5	5 (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Emirates Angel	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(5) Emirates Angel 6.5/1, In good hands but didn't show much when sixth of 8 in novice at Catterick (5f, good) on debut 31 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Signs of some ability when 6th of 8 on 5f Catterick debut; no surprise if coming on plenty.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -50%) Eyes Closed	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Eyes Closed 18/1, 9/1, held back by inexperience when eighth of 9 in novice at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago. Likely to do better but big step up needed to get heavily involved. Showed speed to past halfway on 5f debut at Thirsk; yard won this in 2022 and 2020.
11	11 (11) (20/1 -25%) Tara Atacama	20 20/1(-25%)	(11) Tara Atacama 20/1, Foaled February 27. Iffraaj filly. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Steps. Newcomer to note in the betting. Bred to sprint and yard 22% with 2yos here (7-32); not aiming high on debut.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -82%) Manali	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) Manali 40/1, Poor form. 4/1, good third of 9 in nursery at this course (5f, good) 10 days ago but has something to find back ion a maiden. Ran off lowly mark when 3rd in 5f handicap here latest; up against it back in a maiden.
4	4 (4) (40/1 +39%) Sub Thirteen	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Sub Thirteen 40/1, 100/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy) on debut 11 days ago. Down in trip. Speedy and precocious pedigree but started off over extended 7f and well held.
3	3 (3) (66/1 +0%) Hieloray	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) Hieloray 66/1, Foaled May 6. 10,500 gns Phoenix of Spain colt. Dam, US 2-y-o 8.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Cymric. Probably best watched on debut. 10,500gns yearling; yard 1-24 with 2yos this year.
12	12 (12) (125/1 -213%) Ten O'clock	125 125/1(-213%)	(12) Ten O'clock 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 5 days ago. Big prices and never sighted in either of her 6f races at Windsor; handicaps more likely.
1	1 (1) (200/1 -100%) Cable Strike	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Cable Strike 200/1, 80/1, last of 11 in maiden at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago. Likely outsider again. 80-1, slowly away and beaten a very long way on 6f debut at Chepstow 22 days ago.
2	2 (2) (250/1 -25%) Ensign Wilson	250 250/1(-25%)	(2) Ensign Wilson 250/1, 200/1, last of 13 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) on debut 5 days ago. 200-1, flat-footed at start on Wolverhampton AW on Monday, finishing a remote last of 13.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Rogue Rosie sets the standard having finished runner-up on her last two starts and looks sure to be thereabouts, while the same applies to Sparklight, who hasn't been seen since finishing second at Kempton in May and merits respect. However, they may have to settle for a place again as KANDOO narrowly edges the vote. She was beaten a neck over C&D on her first start for Archie Watson just over a fortnight ago and first-time cheekpieces could help her go one better today.

If KANDOO pulls out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces she might be able to go one better than in similar company over C&D at the beginning of the month. Rogue Rosie and Sparklight look the obvious dangers unless the betting speaks in the favour of Michael Bell newcomer Tara Atacama.

Kandoo should be in the thick of it but ROGUE ROSIE did well at Nottingham recently and should have an ordinary maiden in her.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Apache Star	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(1) Apache Star 4.5/1, C&D winner in July. 13/2, ran to a similar level under a penalty when third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. Win and good third over C&D in his last two runs; should be in the thick of things again.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +50%) Gherkin	5 5/1(+50%)	(8) Gherkin 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Returned to form but just took a little to bit too long to find his stride when second of 11 in handicap (6/1) at this course (5f, good) 15 days ago, closing all way to line. Enters calculations. 0-11 since his last win but he went close over 5f here last time; nudged up 2lb.
11	11 (11) (7/1 +50%) Destiny's Spirit	7 7/1(+50%)	(11) Destiny's Spirit 7/1, 12/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 5 days ago, held when meeting some trouble final 1f. Plenty to find on form. On reduced mark and things didn't go her way last time but others are more persuasive.
6	6 (6) (7/1 -17%) Under Curfew	7 7/1(-17%)	(6) Under Curfew 7/1, C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Third of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Last win was over two years ago but he went close off this mark at Brighton last week.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +0%) Bernard Spierpoint	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Bernard Spierpoint 7/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year, latest at Yarmouth in June. Found things a lot tougher back in a handicap when fifth of 6 at Brighton (6f, good, 11/4) 53 days ago. 7 lb claimer takes over and he has to be taken seriously. Won two classified events in June but was well held back in a handicap last time.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +11%) Savalas	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Savalas 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in June. Ran poorly when eighth of 9 in handicap there (7.1f, good to soft, 7/2) 22 days ago. Must bounce back. The form of his win in June has worked out well and he had an excuse last time; in the mix.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +36%) Red Alert	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Red Alert 9/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in June. Again ran poorly after just 3 days off when seventh of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. Four-time C&D winner but he's lost his way in last three runs; needs major revival.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +44%) Kyber Crystal	10 10/1(+44%)	(9) Kyber Crystal 10/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Underperformed back up in trip when eighth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy, 15/2) 19 days ago. Down to his sole winning mark and can make presence felt. Off the mark at Chepstow in June but he's not matched that since and others are preferred.
13	13 (13) (11/1 +8%) Giddy Aunt	11 11/1(+8%)	(13) Giddy Aunt 11/1, 9/2, again ran below form when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. Nine-race maiden who has yet to finish placed and others are preferred.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +0%) Zous Baby	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Zous Baby 16/1, 20/1, found run of good form coming to a halt on first outing since leaving Clive Cox when ninth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Has claims on his best form for Clive Cox but he struggled on his stable debut last month.
15	15 (15) (40/1 +0%) Fishermans Cottage	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Fishermans Cottage 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 125/1) 5 weeks ago. Goes sprinting for his handicap debut. Tailed off in all three runs and needs a transformation on this switch to sprinting.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -52%) Epeius	50 50/1(-52%)	(14) Epeius 50/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 5 days ago, very slowly away. Not easy to make a case for. Veteran who can miss the break and has not won since 2020; look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

GHERKIN ran his best race of the season so far when runner-up here just over a fortnight ago and although he's been raised 2lb for that effort, he still appears to be on a dangerous mark. Under Curfew may not be the easiest horse to win with but he looks sure to be in the mix and could have sold each-way credentials, along with Apache Star, who is another to consider having won over C&D off 5lb lower last month.

An ultra-competitive sprint which can go the way of BERNARD SPIERPOINT, who found life much tougher back in handicap company last time but claimer-ridden for the first time under the tutelage of Darryll Holland, he's fancied to add another victory to an already impressive 2023 campaign. Lilkian, Gherkin and Apache Star are just a handful of others worth considering.

The vote goes to GHERKIN, who returned to form with a strong-finishing second over 5f here last time. Apache Star is feared most.

3	3 (3) (2/1 +11%) Fierce	2 2/1(+11%)	(3) Fierce 2/1, 8/13, career best when winning 8-runner maiden at Nottingham (5f, soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Worth a chance to follow up. Won a maiden last time but competitive in handicaps before that; cheekpieces on.
2	2 (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Skallywag Bay	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(2) Skallywag Bay 2.25/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 5/1) 29 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. 0-8 on turf but consistent of late; any further rain may not be welcome.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +0%) Sergeant Pep	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Sergeant Pep 4/1, 8/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good) 12 days ago. Likely to give his running again, so looks a major threat. Appreciated return to 5f when winning on soft ground at Windsor last time; high on list.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +13%) My Delilah	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) My Delilah 7/1, Course winner. Winner here in May. 10/3, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Not taken lightly. Put up 8lb for her win here in May and struggled at Leicester last time; needs more.
4	4 (4) (8.5/1 +29%) Ardad's Great	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(4) Ardad's Great 8.5/1, Winner at Windsor in July. 22/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 32 days ago. Others have achieved more lately. Off the mark at Windsor last month, but well held on handicap debut next time.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -10%) Sugar Hill Babe	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Sugar Hill Babe 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago, missing break. Others preferred. In the frame on nine occasions, but now 0-14 and slow starts have become a habit.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Fierce showed a game attitude when scoring over 5f at Nottingham last time and he appears likely to offer another bold bid, but he was upped 2lb in the ratings for that neck success and could be vulnerable to a better treated rival, such as SERGEANT PEP. Clive Cox's charge ran on strongly when getting his head in front over 5f at Windsor 12 days ago and a 5lb rise may not be enough to halt his progression. Skallywag Bay should also be thereabouts.

FIERCE is a likeable type who gained reward for a string of consistent efforts when scoring at Nottingham a month ago and, with cheekpieces applied, he could up his game again, so he takes preference over Sergeant Pep and Skallywag Bay.

This can go to SERGEANT PEP (nap) who appreciated the return to 5f when winning at Windsor last time. He remains unexposed at the trip.

2	2 (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Dirham Emirati	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(2) Dirham Emirati 2.25/1, In first-time visor and tongue strap, returned to winning ways at this C&D in July. Followed up in 10-runner handicap back here (14f, good, 5/2) 24 days ago and he can land the hat-trick. Has turned things around with wins here (1m5f/1m6f) in last two starts; big player again.
5	5 (5) (3.5/1 +61%) Hashtagmetoo	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(5) Hashtagmetoo 3.5/1, C&D winner back in 2021. Failed to come on for recent run when third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy, 13/2) 19 days ago. However, she could fare better back up in trip at this venue. On dangerous mark but well below form in last four runs and needs to get back on track.
7	7 (7) (5/1 +9%) Gautrey	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Gautrey 5/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when second of 13 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago, closing all way to line. Could have more to offer as he goes up in distance. Went close over 11.6f here last time and he's open to more progress at this new trip.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -9%) Smokey Malone	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Smokey Malone 6/1, Successful at Southwell in April and has remained in good heart since, edged out only close home when second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to soft, 4/1) 19 days ago. Respected back up in trip. Has done well since April and he went close off this mark last time; key player.
6	6 (6) (8.5/1 -13%) Zillion	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(6) Zillion 8.5/1, Dropped in grade, ended long losing run in 7-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m, good to soft, 15/8) 40 days ago. Task is now to be able to back up his latest effort. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Chepstow (2m) last time; up 3lb on this drop back in trip.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +44%) Shibuya Song	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Shibuya Song 9/1, No better than mid-division this year for her current yard, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (2m, good to soft, 25/1) 23 days ago. Has dropped below her last winning mark, but others make more appeal. Well held in all four runs for new yard this year and needs a major upturn in form.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Endofastorm	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Endofastorm 14/1, After just 5 days off, possibly found race coming too soon when eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. Needs to find more upped in trip. Inconsistent filly with a record of 1-16 and others are preferred.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -18%) Harry The Norseman	33 33/1(-18%)	(9) Harry The Norseman 33/1, Course winner last year. However, has largely struggled over jumps since joining his current yard, tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good, 11/2) 41 days ago. Others preferred back on the level. Disappointing over jumps last twice and hard to know what to expect back on the Flat.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -100%) Sugar Candie	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Sugar Candie 40/1, Form has gone the wrong way this season, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good, 14/1) 30 days ago. Application of blinkers needs to spark a revival. 0-8 and has been well held in last four runs; needs blinkers to make a big difference.
10	10 (10) (40/1 +39%) Duchess	40 40/1(+39%)	(10) Duchess 40/1, Has made little impact this year for his current trainer, 22½ lengths sixth of 7 to Zillion in handicap at Chepstow (2m, good to soft, 22/1) 40 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Seven defeats in France and hasn't shown all that much for her current yard; others safer.

LTO Selection:

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

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

DIRHAM EMIRATI was a very plucky winner over 1m6f here last time and she looks primed for another bold bid today, with the drop back to this trip likely to suit. Gary Moore's runner is seeking a course hat-trick and this 2lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to half her. Smokey Malone is feared most off the same mark as his half-length defeat over the extended 1m3f at Lingfield last time, while This Ones For Fred could also feature.

With a visor and tongue strap applied, DIRHAM EMIRATI has returned to form with victories at this course on his last 2 starts and he can score again in his current mood. Smokey Malone has been holding his form well and could be the main danger, ahead of the hat-trick seeking This Ones For Fred.

Plenty have possibilities but DIRHAM EMIRATI gets the vote ahead of the other hat-trick seeker This Ones For Fred.

Can go one better with good-value claimer on board. 0-9 on turf but he had a near miss over 1m6f here last time; key player.
6	6 (6) (3.5/1 +0%) Nevendon	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(6) Nevendon 3.5/1, Again only beaten by an in-form rival when second of 12 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 4/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly as he goes back up in trip. Runner-up here (11.6f) last twice and he's respected back up in trip.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -25%) Lunar Shadow	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Lunar Shadow 5/1, In good heart on the Flat/over hurdles, with latest win at Lingfield (AW) in March. 11/2, shaped as if still in form when unseated rider 3 out in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Shortlisted. Has form figures of 14233 on the Flat this year and he's respected back in this sphere.

However, placed at this course earlier in the year and she lurks on a dangerous mark. Most of her wins have come in Jersey and has never won on the Flat in Britain.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +56%) Systemic	8 8/1(+56%)	(2) Systemic 8/1, Ran better than on his previous outing when fourth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good, 28/1) 9 days ago. Needs to be able to build on his latest run. Signs of a revival at Salisbury (1m6f) last week and has claims if he can build on that.
1	1 (1) (8.5/1 +6%) Fravanco	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(1) Fravanco 8.5/1, Opened account at Lingfield in July and fared best of those ridden prominently when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good, 14/1) 3 weeks ago. Can give his running again upped in trip. Won on handicap debut at Lingfield (AW) but his spark was missing back on turf last time.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +57%) Kindgirl	12 12/1(+57%)	(8) Kindgirl 12/1, Not quite in the same form as on her reappearance when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 33/1) 31 days ago, despite having been well positioned. Others more persuasive. Inconsistent eight-race maiden and was well held here latest; others are more convincing.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +0%) Ladypacksapunch	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Ladypacksapunch 16/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago, but she looks to be vulnerable once more. Not beaten far here in last two runs but she's now 0-20 and is untried at this trip.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -25%) Humaniste	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Humaniste 25/1, After a spell in points, never involved when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 18/1) 24 days ago. Others look stronger. Four point wins since November but was well held back on the Flat here last month.
11	11 (11) (66/1 -65%) Hammy End	66 66/1(-65%)	(11) Hammy End 66/1, Again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 16/1) when last seen in May. Looks to be up against it on his return to action. Hard to predict and has been out of sorts in three runs for his current yard; opposable.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

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

NEVENDON arrives having posted back-to-back course seconds, each over an extended 1m3f, and this longer trip could play to his strengths. The gelded son of Nathaniel shades preference over Lunar Shadow, who seldom runs poorly in this sphere and ought to fare better having unseated over hurdles at Stratford 16 days ago. Fravanco failed to back up his recent Lingfield victory but he is relatively unexposed and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back this evening.

BEGGARMAN was beaten only a short head by Dirham Emirati (runs in the previous race on this card) here last month and he looks ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Nevendon arrives in good form having finished runner-up at this course on his last 2 starts and is feared most, with Lunar Shadow completing the shortlist.

Preference is for BEGGARMAN, who bounced back with a near miss here last time and has leading claims if he can repeat that form.

20:10 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (2.25/1 +10%) Dubai Dreamer	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(7) Dubai Dreamer 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (7f, soft, 10/3) 17 days ago. Open to improvement with step back up to 1m certain to suit in handicap debut. Dubawi colt with ability and should have a future in handicaps off this low a mark.
6	6 (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Loddon	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(6) Loddon 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 7 in handicap at Sandown (8f, heavy, 13/2) 17 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Still low mileage and can give another good account. Raced freely when second at Sandown and the hood could easily bring her on.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +29%) Micks Dream	6 6/1(+29%)	(1) Micks Dream 6/1, Runner-up twice at Brighton in the spring. Below form last 3 starts, unsuited by step up in trip when seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Two seconds at Brighton this May give him a shout but below form since.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +13%) Eye Of The Water	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Eye Of The Water 7/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good, 3/1) 2 days ago. Below best on Thursday but he was a C&D winner in May and usually gives his running.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +13%) Rival	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Rival 7/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 9 days ago. Merits consideration from handy mark. Well treated and hasn't been far away in 1m handicaps at Windsor and Sandown.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +0%) Wizarding	11 11/1(+0%)	(8) Wizarding 11/1, Won at Kempton in the winter but hasn't really fired acrosss 3 starts this summer, only seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Below par in three runs after a break and there are questions to answer on turf.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +64%) Aviary	12 12/1(+64%)	(9) Aviary 12/1, Offered little after 9-month break when eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has edged back down weights but others are likelier winners. Stays 1m and returning over the extended 5f here 15 days ago was not ideal.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -71%) Ellade	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Ellade 12/1, It's now 12 runs since her last win but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) last month. Possibly unsuited by heavy ground when last of 6 at Sandown last time and she's expected to be closer to form here. Won more on the AW but capable on turf and heavy ground was an excuse latest.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -56%) Ciotog	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Ciotog 14/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 15 days ago, running on despite hanging left. Chance if translating that AW form to the turf. AW winner who is 0-7 on turf; stayed on to be only a length away at Wolverhampton.
10	10 (10) (50/1 -127%) Tamay Girl	50 50/1(-127%)	(10) Tamay Girl 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm). Off 95 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Uphill task. Lightly raced for Richard Fahey but was sold on for 1,000gns after four defeats.

LTO Selection:

20:10 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

There was plenty to like about DUBAI DREAMER's recent Leicester effort. Having been slowly away and leaving himself with a lot to do passing the furlong pole, the son of Dubawi hit the line well and looks primed to play a leading role now upped in trip for this handicap bow. Loddon bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Sandown 17 days ago and she merits respect, despite subsequently being raised 1lb in the ratings. Eye Of The Water is another to consider.

DUBAI DREAMER appeals as the type to improve now handicapping and Roger Varian's colt is fancied to make a successful switch into this company. Ellade found herself bogged down in the heavy ground at Chepstow last time but had been in good heart prior, whilst Loddon is less exposed than most here and also makes the shortlist.

Ed Walker's LODDON raced freely when runner-up at Sandown and the addition of a hood looks a good move.

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.
