14:31 – Broughton Transport The Mane Logistics Choice Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a sharp little 5f handicap rather than a deep one, and in a seven-runner field the pace and track position around Bath will matter plenty. The three-year-olds could easily dominate, with Saucy Jane and Grey Horizon bringing the most persuasive recent profiles, while Reality Queen is another last-time-out winner getting in with a feather weight. Saucy Jane has the highest mark in the field but arrives on the back of a win and is drawn on the rail, which is no bad place to be over this trip here. Grey Horizon has been admirably consistent and posted the best Topspeed figure in the line-up, so he is an obvious threat. Early Release is respected after scoring last time, but this looks a slightly tricker race from a higher perch.
Top Selections
1. Saucy Jane – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mason Paetel | Trainer: Jack Morland | Form: 584261 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 69
Saucy Jane makes plenty of appeal in a race where the younger legs may just hold sway. She got off the mark last time and that form string suggests a filly learning quickly rather than one who has suddenly fluked a result. The handicapper has reacted, but a mark of 80 still looks workable given she is a three-year-old with scope to improve again, and stall 1 could be a real asset if she breaks on terms. Mason Paetel keeps the ride and this looks the type of sharp Bath sprint where a progressive sort can keep rolling. At 5/2, she is short enough, but still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Grey Horizon – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Christian Howarth | Trainer: Scott Dixon | Form: 431372 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 71
Grey Horizon is the one I would want on side each-way because his profile is rock-solid for this grade and he rarely runs a bad race. The recent sequence of figures tells its own story: he has been competitive time and again, and that latest second suggests another big run is imminent. He also brings the best Topspeed number in the field, which matters in a race likely to be decided by who can travel and quicken best on this fast surface. From stall 2 he should get a handy sit, and Christian Howarth has a straightforward ride if the gaps come. Available at 7/2, he looks the value alternative to the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Saucy Jane is the win play because she looks the most progressive runner in the field and has the draw to make life easier. Grey Horizon is the each-way option in this seven-runner race, with his consistency and speed figures giving him a strong place chance at the very least. The obvious dangers are Reality Queen, who is lightly weighted after winning last time, and Early Release if backing up that latest success.

15:01 – Resolution Canter Cup EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (Band D) (EBF Qualifier) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary restricted maiden rather than a deep juvenile contest, and the form on offer suggests it may not take a great deal of winning. Bellatina sets the standard on both recent consistency and official figures after back-to-back seconds, and she makes obvious appeal if handling this sharp Bath five furlongs. Space Dreamer is the interesting danger after a promising debut fifth and could easily step forward for Ollie Sangster, while Last Dandelion has enough ability to get involved if forgiven a lesser latest run. Tricky Jenny has bits of form without quite convincing, and the rest need more than they have shown so far. In truth, this revolves around whether Bellatina is simply better than these or vulnerable again at a short enough price.
Top Selections
1. Bellatina – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 28722 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 59
Bellatina is beginning to knock loudly on the door and, in a race lacking depth, she is hard to get away from. Her last two runs have both produced runner-up efforts, and that level of repeatable form is more persuasive here than taking a leap of faith with lesser-exposed rivals. A mark of 77 gives her the best rating in the field, and the Topspeed figure of 59 is another tick in the box. Charlie Johnston’s juveniles are usually straightforward enough when it comes to five-furlong maidens, and at 7/4 with Bet365 she is short but still looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
2. Last Dandelion – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Doughty | Trainer: Stuart Williams | Form: 0530 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 58
Last Dandelion is the one I’d rather play each-way against the favourite because her earlier efforts give her a better chance than the bare latest form suggests. She had shaped with promise prior to that flat effort, and her rating of 74 leaves her firmly in the conversation if she bounces back. The Topspeed figure of 58 says she has run to a level good enough to be competitive in this, and stall 3 should be no bad place to be around Bath. Available at 11/2 with Bet365, she looks the value each-way angle in a race where several of these still have plenty to prove. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Bellatina is the win bet because she brings the clearest and most reliable form into an ordinary maiden. For an each-way punt, Last Dandelion makes more appeal than the other alternatives at the prices and could easily hit the frame if returning to her better effort. Space Dreamer is the obvious danger if improving as expected from debut.

15:31 – Home Group Financial Wealth Management Trophy Handicap (Bath Summer Sprint Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This sharp 5f handicap doesn’t look deep, but it is competitive enough given three of them arrive off the back of a win. Little Miss Magic, Darkened Edge and Secret Handsheikh all scored last time and dominate the market accordingly, with Little Miss Magic carrying less weight than her official mark might suggest after that latest success. Secret Handsheikh is the obvious solid yardstick after popping back up in winning form, while Darkened Edge has the plum draw in stall 1 and could be dangerous if able to boss matters early. Of the bigger prices, Coast is interesting off a light weight and owns the best Topspeed figure in the field. It’s not a strong race in quality terms, but it is a tricky little sprint where track position and early pace will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Little Miss Magic – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Patrick Chamings | Form: 776751 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 46
Little Miss Magic is the one I want on side. That latest win suggests she has arrived at exactly the right time, and while she is now the highest-rated runner in the line-up, she gets in here with only 134lb which makes life easier in a race where plenty of these are exposed. The bare Topspeed figure is not spectacular, but Bath’s speed tests are often about handling the track and striking at the right moment rather than flashy numbers alone. Callum Hutchinson is a positive booking, and at 9/4 she makes plenty of appeal in a race where some rivals may have shown their hand already. Bet: WIN
2. Coast – 11/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Kieran O’Neill | Trainer: Scott Dixon | Form: 436053 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 59
Coast looks the value play if you want something at a price. He didn’t win last time, but that 3 in his recent form tells you he is not miles away, and his Topspeed mark of 59 is the best in this field, which is worth noting in a low-grade sprint around here. He also carries only 125lb, so Kieran O’Neill won’t be short of options from stall 6 if they go hard up front. Scott Dixon’s runners can be dangerous in these modest handicaps when the market underestimates them, and 11/1 feels a fair each-way punt against several shorter-priced rivals who are more obvious than bombproof. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Little Miss Magic is the straightforward win bet after her last-time-out success and looks the runner with the strongest all-round claims. For an each-way option in a six-runner race paying two places, Coast stands out at the prices thanks to his light weight and the best Topspeed figure in the field. Secret Handsheikh and Darkened Edge are the obvious dangers if either backs up last-time-out improvement.

16:01 – Novacast Don’t Come Last Handicap (Bath Summer Stayers’ Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 1m 6f | Class 6 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a five-runner handicap, but it does have a very obvious shape to it. Campeona arrives as the unexposed 3yo from the Prescott yard and, after finishing second on her handicap debut, she looks the one with the most upside by some distance. The older brigade are exposed enough at this level: Endofastorm keeps knocking on the door, Blue Siam has bits of staying form without looking straightforward, and Man Of The Sea is a veteran who needs to bounce back. Assured has a stiff task on the figures. In truth, this is not a deep Class 6 and it may simply come down to whether Campeona progresses as expected over this trip on fast ground. Hard race to get clever in.
Top Selections
1. Campeona – 4/9 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 877-2 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 49
Prescott staying handicappers do not usually need much invitation in races like this, and Campeona looks set up to follow the familiar script. She stepped forward markedly when second on her return and handicap debut, and that was the first piece of form in this field that hinted at a bit of latent ability rather than mere reliability. Off a mark of 62 she is not thrown in, but she gets plenty of weight from the older runners and should have more to come now going up to 1m6f. Luke Morris is the ideal pilot for these patiently handled Prescott improvers. At 4/9 she is no secret, but she is still very hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Campeona is the win bet and the only one worth backing in a race this small. There is no each-way angle in a five-runner field, and trying to force one would be bad punting. If you want a danger for forecasts, Endofastorm is the solid one, but the percentage call is to side with the Prescott filly and move on.

16:31 – Wiltshire And Bath Air Ambulance Charity Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is a race with a fairly clear shape. Yokkell and Jimmy Mark bring the most persuasive recent form to the table and it would be no surprise if the pair dominated the finish. Yokkell has been running consistently without quite getting his head in front, while Jimmy Mark arrives off a solid second and fifth in similar company and looks well enough treated. Hope Rising is interesting on his return from a long absence for a capable yard, though the market has probably latched onto that angle. Behind them, Man Is King is capable on his day but not especially reliable, and most of the remainder need a revival. In short, it’s not a strong race, but it’s a readable one.
Top Selections
1. Jimmy Mark – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran O’Neill | Trainer: Zoe Hawkins | Form: 685-25 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 49
Jimmy Mark makes plenty of appeal in a race where dependable recent form counts for a lot. He shaped well when second on his penultimate start and his latest fifth doesn’t read badly in the context of this modest contest. An opening mark of 65 looks workable enough and he doesn’t have to improve dramatically to take this. Kieran O’Neill is the sort you want in these low-grade handicaps too, and at 3/1 he looks a fair, rather than flashy, price for one who should be involved from a long way out. In a race lacking depth, he gets the vote. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Man Is King – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Josephine Gordon | Trainer: David Flood | Form: 141546 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 48
Man Is King is not the easiest horse to predict, but that’s exactly why he comes into the each-way conversation at 7/1. He has at least shown this season that he can win races, and that pair of 1s in his recent form stands out in a field full of exposed, out-of-form types. The concern is that he can throw in a lesser run, as he did last time, but this is ordinary opposition and his mark of 66 gives him a live chance if bouncing back. Josephine Gordon is more than capable of getting one into a rhythm around Bath, and three places make him a sensible each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Jimmy Mark is the percentage call for the win bet, as he brings the most solid recent profile in a race that won’t take a world-beater to win. Man Is King is the each-way alternative at a workable price, especially with three places on offer. Yokkell is the obvious danger and hard to leave out of calculations, while Hope Rising is the market wildcard on his comeback.

17:05 – Stakes Are Always High Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 7.4) (rail movements (Firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a pretty ordinary Class 6 mile, but that does not make it straightforward. Havana Club heads the market after a string of respectable efforts and is the obvious one, while Blue Hero arrives off a win and has the best Topspeed figure in the field, so Adrian Wintle has a notably strong hand. Mbappe is not easy to weigh up after blowing out last time, but his earlier win puts him right in the argument, and My Ambition has been threatening to nick one without quite getting his head in front. Thai Princess is the interesting 3yo against older handicappers and could still have a bit more to offer. In a race lacking depth, recent sharpness and track position may decide it more than raw class.
Top Selections
1. Blue Hero – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Joe Leavy | Trainer: Adrian Wintle | Form: 68-481 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 54
Blue Hero makes plenty of appeal at the prices. He snapped back to form with a win last time and that performance was backed up by the best Topspeed figure in this field, which matters in a race where a few of these look thoroughly exposed. He is an 8yo now, so nobody is pretending there is untapped potential, but this is the grade in which he can still do damage and a 1m handicap around Bath should suit a prominent, streetwise type. Joe Leavy keeps the ride for Adrian Wintle and, available at 11/2, he looks the value against a shorter-priced stablemate. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Thai Princess – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 4645 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 41
Thai Princess is the one I would want on side each-way. Her bare form figures do not leap off the page, but she is a 3yo taking on older, modest handicappers and that angle alone makes her more interesting than most in here. She is not thrown in off 64, yet she has been running with enough credit to think this level is well within reach, and stall 2 should help if she can hold a handy position around this quirky mile. Andrew Balding does not send many here for the fun of it, and in a shallow contest 11/2 makes her a perfectly fair each-way punt with three places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Blue Hero is the win play after that latest success, especially with his speed figure stacking up well in this company. Thai Princess is the each-way alternative in an 8-runner race with three places, as she has a bit more scope than most exposed rivals. Havana Club is the obvious danger, while Mbappe is risky but capable if bouncing back.
