14:00 – Download The Fairplay App Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is not a deep Class 6 by any stretch, but it is the sort of small-field apprentice handicap where position and attitude can matter as much as raw ability. Bohemian Breeze heads the weights and is easy to see why the market has latched on after shaping better than the bare result on recent starts, while Moon Over The Sea arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts and looks the obvious danger. Marinakis has been holding his form well enough in this grade and makes some each-way appeal in an eight-runner field, whereas Qaaeadd is another who could get involved if seeing the trip out strongly. The rest have a bit to prove, so this looks a race where the principals may dominate if getting a smooth run.
Top Selections
1. Bohemian Breeze – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jude Fernandes | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 24-704 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 55
Bohemian Breeze is the one I want on side. He is rated the highest in the field, has a handy draw in stall 2 and his recent form reads a bit better than the finishing positions suggest. This is a drop into a very ordinary Class 6 and that alone gives him strong claims if he can reproduce anything close to his better efforts from last season. The Moores are more than capable of placing one to good effect and this looks a sensible opportunity. At 9/4 he is no giveaway, but in a race lacking depth he is still hard to oppose as the most solid option. Bet: WIN
2. Marinakis – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rose Dawes | Trainer: Robert Stephens | Form: 915334 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 52
Marinakis looks the value play if you want something against the front pair. He has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head back in front, but those recent placed efforts tell you he is holding his form and he does not need to improve much to get into the frame again. The mark of 66 is workable in a race of this standard and he is the type who can keep galloping when others have cried enough up Bath’s stiff finish. Rose Dawes takes off useful weight and, at 11/2, he makes plenty of appeal as an each-way punt in a field where a few look opposable. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Bohemian Breeze is the win bet because he brings the best overall profile into a weak race and should get his chance from a good draw. Marinakis is the each-way alternative at a fairer price, with his recent consistency making him attractive for the places. Moon Over The Sea is the obvious danger if repeating the last two runs, while Qaaeadd is not dismissed for minor money.

14:30 – Silvershine Turf Services Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a modest little 0-85 in all but name, and not one packed with depth. Party Island heads the market after a couple of respectable efforts and is clearly well suited by this sort of assignment, but he is a nine-year-old who doesn’t look bombproof at a short price. Rating made an encouraging return when third and has the look of one who can build on that, while Thapa Vc has the figures to be involved if bouncing back from a poor reappearance. Moby Quick and Bobby Dassler are not hopeless in a race of this quality, but both arrive needing to show more. It doesn’t strike me as a strong contest, yet it is the sort where a well-treated runner finding a little improvement can make the difference.
Top Selections
1. Rating – 10/3 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Grace Harris | Form: 5188-3 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 68
Rating shaped like the right horse to keep on side when third on his return, his first run after a break and one that suggested he had come back in good order. That was a fair effort in the context of this race, and he now drops into a seven-runner Class 6 where a mark of 78 gives him serious winning claims. Rossa Ryan is an eye-catching booking in races around Bath, and this looks a good opportunity if he can take a step forward second time up. Available at 10/3 with Paddy Power, he makes more appeal than the shorter-priced favourite. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Bobby Dassler – 16/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Barry John Murphy | Form: 3041-0 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 71
Bobby Dassler is not the obvious one, but in a race lacking depth he looks overpriced at 16/1 with Bet365. His reappearance was poor enough, but he had signed off last season with a win and his Topspeed figure of 71 is one of the better numbers on offer here. Carrying just 123, he doesn’t need to improve dramatically to nick a place, and this sharp, tactical sort of handicap can suit a horse creeping in under the radar. If the favourite underwhelms and one or two of the principals fail to fire, he is the type who can outrun dismissive odds. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Rating is the solid win play after a promising seasonal return and looks the one most likely to run his race. For an each-way punt, Bobby Dassler appeals at a chunky price in a weak contest where his weight and past figures give him a squeak. Party Island is the obvious danger, while Thapa Vc is respected if sharper for his comeback.

15:00 – Silvershine Turf Services Support Bath Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a sharp little juvenile maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched onto the unexposed fillies Leucothea and Sovereign Glory. Bath’s bare 5f on quick ground can be a proper test of speed and professionalism for first-time two-year-olds, so early pace and the ability to handle the track will matter plenty. Global Success brings the best piece of actual form to the table after a fair fifth on debut and sets a sensible standard on the figures, while Downloadmylife has already shown he may need time. Of the newcomers, Leucothea makes obvious appeal for Richard Hannon, but this isn’t the sort of maiden where taking a cramped price is always wise. It’s a race with a clear shape, but not one completely lacking in traps.
Top Selections
1. Global Success – 5/1 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: J S Moore | Form: 5 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 38
There’s no mystery about what Global Success has achieved: he has already run to a decent level and his debut fifth gives him the strongest concrete form in the field. An opening mark of 75 stands out in this company, and that Topspeed figure of 38 is another sign he has shown useful speed for a race like this. Drawn in stall 2 and carrying 128, he should be well positioned if breaking cleanly, and Bath often rewards those who know their job. At around 5/1, he looks a more interesting betting proposition than some shorter-priced newcomers whose reputations still have to be tested on the track. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sovereign Glory – 3/1 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Jason Watson | Trainer: Charles Hills | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Sovereign Glory is the each-way angle in a race where the obvious favourite may be priced accordingly. Charles Hills knows the time of day with sharp juveniles, Jason Watson is a positive booking, and this filly looks the sort who should be ready to do herself justice first time. The 3/1 on offer is hardly extravagant, but in an eight-runner maiden with only two places on the each-way terms, she still makes some appeal as the one most likely to chase home the principals if not good enough to win outright. She doesn’t need to be a star to hit the frame, and this could easily come down to who breaks smartly and handles the track best. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Global Success is the win play because he has already put solid form on the board and sets the standard on both rating and Topspeed. Sovereign Glory is the each-way punt at 3/1 if you want cover against the unknowns. Leucothea is the obvious danger on connections and market strength, while King Of Montenegro is another newcomer worth respecting if the money comes.

15:30 – Mark Futcher Half-Century Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a sharp little 3yo sprint and, for all Bath’s quirks, the market has latched onto the right pair. Alvin brings the standout rating of 87 and has already shown he can be competitive in better company, while Comic Strip has a more progressive profile and shaped well enough on his return to suggest there is another step forward in him. Solar Invincible is respected after winning last time and gets in light, but this is a deeper race than the one he landed. Angel Numbers has a useful Topspeed figure and could get involved if the race sets up for a finisher. It looks a proper Class 4 rather than a weak one, but not an impossible puzzle either: the principals have solid enough cases and the draw could be a big factor over this sharp 5f.
Top Selections
1. Comic Strip – 10/3 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Jack Callan | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 4112-3 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed:
I’m happy to take on the favourite with Comic Strip, who looks the one with a bit more upside at the prices. He signed off last year with strong novice form and returned with a perfectly respectable third, a run that should have put him spot on for this. An opening mark of 83 does not look harsh for a colt from the Crisford yard, and the draw in stall 3 could be a help around here if he breaks on terms. Available at 10/3 with Sky Bet, he makes more appeal than a short-priced rival carrying top weight in a race where tactical speed will matter plenty. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Angel Numbers – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Form: 573-25 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 81
Angel Numbers is the each-way play because there is enough here to think she can outrun double-figure odds. She went close on her seasonal return before not quite backing it up last time, but that 81 Topspeed figure is one of the more persuasive pieces of evidence in the field and suggests she has the raw pace for a race like this. Rossa Ryan is exactly the sort you want in a Bath sprint, and if he can get her organised from stall 9 she should be finishing better than most. At 11/1 with Bet365, she looks the value each-way against rivals whose profiles are already more exposed. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Comic Strip is the win bet at 10/3, chiefly because he still has the look of a progressive sprinter and should strip fitter for his comeback. Angel Numbers is the each-way punt at 11/1 in a 10-runner race with three places on offer. Alvin is the obvious danger and hard to leave out of calculations, while Solar Invincible is another who enters the argument after his latest win.

16:00 – Bet Now With fairplaybet.co.uk Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a tight little sprint handicap rather than a deep one, and the market is understandably revolving around The Thames Boatman after a string of solid efforts in stronger company. He sets the standard on the figures, but he is giving weight away all round and Bath’s sharp 5f can punish any hesitation. The Feminine Urge looks the obvious danger from stall 1, especially after a pleasing return, while Solar Edge has the sort of back-class and speed figure that makes him interesting if straight enough after a break. Toolatetonegotiate is admirably consistent without looking thrown in, and So Smart is weighted to outrun his price if getting the race run to suit. Tricky enough from a punting angle, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. The Feminine Urge – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Grace Harris | Form: 1548-3 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 75
She makes plenty of appeal here. That return to action when third suggested she has come back in good order, and this looks a winnable opening with only 8st 12lb to carry despite a lofty rating of 86. Bath over 5f rewards speed and track position, and stall 1 with Rossa Ryan aboard is hardly a negative. The Thames Boatman is the solid one, but he has to concede lumps of weight, whereas The Feminine Urge gets in very nicely at the weights and still has scope to do better as a 4yo. At 7/2 she looks the one with the best blend of upside and practicality. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Solar Edge – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Gina Mangan | Trainer: Christopher Mason | Form: 23925- | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 78
He is the each-way value in the race. Solar Edge has not been seen since last season, so there is an obvious fitness question, but his form stack is perfectly respectable for this level and that Topspeed mark of 78 says he still retains enough zip for a race of this nature. Drawn in stall 2, he should be able to hold a handy position, which is a big plus around here. He is also one of the few in this field whose price gives you a bit of room for manoeuvre. At 15/2 with Bet365, he looks a fair each-way punt if returning anywhere near his best. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
The win angle is The Feminine Urge, who gets the nod on weight, draw and the promise of that recent comeback run. For an each-way alternative in this seven-runner field, Solar Edge makes more appeal than the obvious market principals at the prices. The Thames Boatman is the danger if class simply tells, while So Smart is not hopeless if the race gets a bit messy.

16:30 – Signs Express Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This seven-runner mile handicap doesn’t look deep, but it is a proper little tactical puzzle. Candonomore sets the standard on recent placed efforts and is the obvious one to beat if reproducing either of his last two runs, while Special Ghaiyyath arrives off a solid comeback third and still looks on an upward curve. Happy Banner is another with a workable profile from the foot of the weights, and Aspull is interesting back from a break for a yard that can ready one. On balance, though, this feels more about who is best treated than who has the flashiest profile. Around Bath on quick ground, track position and the ability to travel strongly round the bends will matter plenty, and that should suit the more streetwise handicappers.
Top Selections
1. Candonomore – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Levey | Trainer: Stuart Williams | Form: -37522 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 63
He’s short enough, but there’s a reason for that. Candonomore has been knocking firmly on the door, finishing runner-up on his last two starts, and this looks a very workable race if he turns up in the same heart. He doesn’t have masses in hand from a mark of 93, yet he’s the one bringing the most reliable current handicap form and Sean Levey is a positive booking in a race where sharp positioning could prove crucial. At 6/4, he’s not exactly a gift, but he is hard to oppose in a field lacking depth and obvious improvers beyond one or two. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Happy Banner – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: George Downing | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 37862- | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 84
Happy Banner makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where the market may focus too heavily on the favourite and the obvious second tier. He signed off last season with a respectable second, has a useful Topspeed figure of 84, and sneaks in here with just 128lb, which is no bad thing around this turning mile. The draw in stall 1 could also work in his favour if George Downing can hold a handy spot and save ground throughout. He hasn’t won for a while, so there is a slight suspicion he may find one too strong again, but 11/2 looks fair for a horse with a solid place profile. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Candonomore is the percentage call and the win bet, given the strength of his recent placed form in a modest Class 4. For a bit more value, Happy Banner makes sense as the each-way play with three places on offer in a seven-runner field. Special Ghaiyyath is the main danger if building on his latest third, while Aspull is the lurking one if fully tuned up after the break.

17:00 – Signs Express Proudly Support Bath Racecourse Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 7.7) (rail movements (Good to firm, firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep race, but it is one of those late-card 3yo handicaps where a small step forward can be enough. Zoustellar arrives off the back of a first win and is an obvious starting point from stall 1, while Denby’s Dream has been knocking on the door and brings the best Topspeed figure in the field. Arvana Belle was admirably consistent at the back end of last season and gets in here off a handy weight, so she’s not dismissed lightly. Takeitorleaveit is respected on handicap debut after winning a novice at Brighton, but that bare form doesn’t make him bombproof in a race like this. Overall, it’s a winnable Class 6 rather than a strong one, and recent match sharpness could count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Denby’s Dream
Jockey: Thomas Greatrex | Trainer: Charlie Pike | Form: 8-0452 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 75
Denby’s Dream looks ready to cash in after a solid run of handicap efforts, and that latest second suggests her turn is near. She shaped as though this sort of mile around Bath would suit, and the standout Topspeed figure of 75 is the most persuasive piece of hard evidence on offer in a race lacking depth. Charlie Pike’s filly has been learning on the job and now has the profile of one who can make her mark at this level rather than merely threatening. If she gets a sensible trip from stall 4, she holds strong claims of outstaying these in the finish. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Arvana Belle – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Rod Millman | Form: 60123- | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 38
Arvana Belle makes plenty of each-way appeal at around 5/1 because she signed off last season with a string of solid efforts and, crucially, doesn’t have much to find on official figures. Rod Millman’s filly was a reliable little operator in the autumn, winning once and then finishing placed on her next two starts, so there’s less guesswork with her than some of these. The wide draw in 7 is not ideal around Bath, but she is well enough treated and carries just 128, which could help if this turns tactical before becoming a sprint up the hill. In a seven-runner race, she looks the value to hit the frame and possibly better. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Denby’s Dream is the win play on the strength of her recent consistency and the best Topspeed number in the field. For an each-way punt, Arvana Belle looks attractively priced given her solid juvenile form and light weight. Zoustellar is the obvious danger after getting off the mark last time, while Takeitorleaveit is respected but short enough in a race that doesn’t owe him anything.
