16:10 – Bet Now With fairplaybet.co.uk Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This small-field Bath sprint looks competitive without being especially deep, and the pace angle could be crucial over a sharp 5f on quick ground. Silver Wraith brings the most appealing profile after ending last year with a win and still looks open to a bit more, while Thecoffeepoddotco has been knocking on the door often enough to make his presence felt again. Correspondence is an interesting lurker from stall 1, especially with Hollie Doyle booked and a useful Topspeed figure of 78, but he does need to bounce back from a lesser run. Moe’s Legacy is battle-hardened and capable, though the burden of top weight makes life tougher. It’s a tight little handicap rather than a strong one, and the one who gets the run of things early may well decide it.
Top Selections
1. Silver Wraith – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: 44321- | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 76
Silver Wraith is the obvious starting point and, in truth, he’s hard to oppose. He signed off last season with a win, his form figures suggest a horse heading the right way, and that 76 Topspeed stacks up well in a race of this nature. The return to 5f on firm ground should suit a horse who looks happiest when able to travel strongly and then quicken. David Probert is a positive booking around here, and while 7/4 is hardly stealing money, it’s a fair enough price given he has fewer questions to answer than most of these. He looks the solid one in a race lacking much depth. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Correspondence – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: 40-826 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 78
Correspondence is the each-way play at the prices because there’s enough in his profile to think he can outrun 13/2. He’s officially the highest-rated horse in the field on 86, owns the best Topspeed figure on offer, and his second two starts back hinted that he still retains plenty of ability. Last time was a shade underwhelming, but this drop into a small-field Class 5 gives him a much better chance to get competitive again. Stall 1 could be handy if Hollie Doyle can hold a position and keep him organised early. In a race where the market is focused on the obvious pair, he makes plenty of appeal as the value alternative. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Silver Wraith is the win bet and makes the most appeal as the progressive one in the line-up. For an each-way punt, Correspondence looks overpriced given his mark and speed figures in a six-runner race with two places on offer. Thecoffeepoddotco is the danger if this sets up for a closer, while Moe’s Legacy has enough class to get involved despite top weight.

16:45 – Download The Fairplay App Now EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Band D) (EBF Restricted Qualifier) (GBB)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a typically sharp Bath juvenile maiden, with early speed and professionalism likely to count for plenty over the minimum trip on fast ground. Lady Blanche sets the standard on bare form after finishing third on debut and her rating of 84 is a fair bit stronger than anything else in here, while Dowman is the obvious danger after making the frame first time and already showing enough to suggest a race like this is well within reach. Beyond the front pair, it gets much murkier. The Kalonji Man has had two goes and may yet do better, while a clutch of newcomers such as Ariane Sky and Ricky Punting bring the usual unknown element. Strong at the top, but not one of those races where I’d want to get too clever against the proven pair.
Top Selections
1. Lady Blanche – 11/10 with Paddy Power
Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: K R Burke | Form: 3 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 58
Lady Blanche has the standout piece of form in the race and, in truth, she’s going to be hard to oppose if taking the expected step forward from her debut third. An opening mark of 84 in this sort of restricted maiden is a serious figure, and the Topspeed number backs up the visual impression that she already knows her job. Burke’s juveniles are usually well schooled and David Egan is the sort you want on a sharp 5f test where position matters. She’s not missed in the market, but 11/10 still looks fair enough given what she has already achieved compared to rivals who are either less exposed or simply less good. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ariane Sky – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: James Owen | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want to play against the obvious pair for an each-way angle, Ariane Sky makes more appeal than most of the other debutantes. She gets Hollie Doyle booked, which immediately catches the eye in a race where plenty will need the experience, and the market has her shorter than a lot of the unexposed runners for good reason. James Owen can ready one well enough, and in a race lacking depth beyond the principals, an 11/1 quote could underestimate her chance of hitting the frame even if one or two know more than she does late on. She doesn’t need to be a superstar to outrun those odds. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Lady Blanche is the win bet because she brings the best form, the best rating and the strongest speed figure into the race. For an each-way punt, Ariane Sky is the more interesting of the newcomers at a double-figure price. Dowman is the obvious danger and could easily make this a match if improving from his debut second.

17:20 – Watch Live Racing On fairplaybet.co.uk “Confined” Handicap (No Win Since The 2025 Flat Turf Season)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a tight little 5f handicap rather than a deep one, and it doesn’t look especially strong for the grade despite a couple of obvious contenders. Binadham has been knocking on the door and sets the standard on recent consistency, while Cayman Tai is another who keeps giving himself a chance and is well drawn to attack from stall 1. Rogue Bullet is interesting because his old figures make him dangerous if ready after the break, but he does come here with a bit more to prove than the front two in the market. Connie’s Rose and Some Nightmare have bits and pieces to recommend them in a race lacking depth, but both need to find a bit. In truth, this looks the sort of sprint where track position and early pace will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Binadham – 15/8 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Kevin Philippart De Foy | Form: 42-633 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 68
Binadham is hardly hiding from the assessor, but he’s the one arriving in the best nick and that counts for plenty in a confined race like this. His recent 42-633 sequence tells you he’s been holding his form well, and he doesn’t need a dramatic leap forward to take this. Billy Loughnane is exactly the sort you want in a sharp Bath sprint, and from stall 2 he should be able to get a handy position without fuss. At 15/8 he isn’t screaming value, but he does look the most solid option in a race where several of these have questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Cayman Tai – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Joe Leavy | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 725525 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 72
Cayman Tai is the percentage each-way play. He’s another who has been running well without quite getting his head in front, but this race condition gives him a very fair opening and his consistency is a major asset against less reliable rivals. The draw in stall 1 could be a real help around here if Joe Leavy can bounce him out and hold the rail, and his rating of 87 says he’s right in the mix. He does have a habit of finding one too good, which is why he’s an each-way rather than win recommendation, but 4/1 looks perfectly workable in a six-runner race lacking much depth. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Binadham is the win play because he brings the cleanest recent profile and should get a good stalking trip. Cayman Tai makes most appeal as the each-way alternative, with the inside draw giving him every chance to be involved throughout. Rogue Bullet is the danger if returning sharp enough after a break, but on balance the safer route is to side with the two runners bringing the strongest current form.

17:50 – Fairplay Daily Price Boosts Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a tight little 0-75 where plenty can be given a squeak, but it doesn’t look especially deep. Eutropia arrives in the best current nick after a win and another solid effort, while Silkies Sib and Chourmo both have bits of handicap form that put them firmly in the argument. Endofastorm is interesting too, particularly off just 121lb, and his Topspeed figure catches the eye in a race lacking much obvious class. Bath on fast ground can reward those who travel smoothly and hold position, so the pace and track craft will matter every bit as much as raw ratings here. It’s not a race to get carried away in, but there are angles in the market and one or two who look better treated than the bare prices suggest.
Top Selections
1. Endofastorm – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Joe Ponting | Form: -76662 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 65
Endofastorm makes plenty of appeal in a race where the obvious favourite is hardly bombproof. He shaped well when runner-up last time, suggesting this mark is workable, and that Topspeed figure of 65 is the best on offer in this field. Carrying only 121lb around Bath is no bad thing either, especially on quick ground where a handy, efficient traveller can nick lengths. David Probert is a positive booking for this sort of assignment and, at 5/1, he looks the value against rivals who are shorter in the betting without being notably ahead of the assessor. He holds strong claims of going one better. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Chourmo – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jason Watson | Trainer: Dan Horsford | Form: 55-643 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 54
Chourmo is the each-way angle in a seven-runner race that should suit a solid, battle-hardened handicapper. His recent figures suggest he is edging back to a workable level, and that latest third was the sort of run that says he is ready to strike if things fall right. Off 123lb he’s not burdened with much, and Jason Watson is exactly the type you want on a horse who may need delivering at the right time around here. He lacks the obvious momentum of Eutropia, but he is more fairly priced at around 5/1 and looks reliable enough to be in the shake-up again. That makes him a sensible each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Endofastorm is the win play at 5/1, with his low weight and clear speed edge making him very appealing in this grade. Chourmo is the each-way option, as he looks set to run his race and could easily hit the frame again. Eutropia is the obvious danger on recent form, while Silkies Sib has enough ability to get involved if bouncing back.

Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a tight little six-runner mile handicap rather than a deep one, and the market has probably got it down to the right pair. My Ambition arrives off a solid return to action and is very interesting off just 8st 9lb, while Signcastle City has the highest mark in the field and is the one with the most obvious recent winning form. Behind them, Magical Merlin has enough consistency to get involved if building on his comeback, and Darvel is better than a rusty reappearance suggests. On this likely quick Bath surface, track position and the ability to travel smoothly downhill will matter plenty. It is not an impossible puzzle, but there is a fair chance the winner comes from the front two in the betting.
Top Selections
1. My Ambition – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Denis Coakley | Form: 4130-2 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 68
My Ambition makes plenty of appeal here. He returned from a break with a runner-up effort, which suggested he retains all his enthusiasm, and this is the sort of small-field handicap where a well-treated, battle-hardened horse can make that fitness edge count. Carrying only 121, he gets weight from the two main dangers despite being just 1lb below the top-rated runner on official figures. Hollie Doyle is an obvious positive in a race where positioning could be crucial, and 15/8 looks perfectly fair rather than cramped. He is not massively ahead of the assessor, but he has the right profile for this setup and holds strong claims. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Magical Merlin – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Millie Wonnacott | Trainer: Harry Charlton | Form: 2422-8 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 57
Magical Merlin is the one at a slightly bigger price who could easily outrun his odds. His sequence of placed efforts before the winter reads well enough in this grade, and I would be inclined to forgive that latest eighth after a break if he comes on for the run. He is drawn widest in six, which is not ideal around Bath, but in a race lacking numbers that should not be terminal if he can slot in early. Harry Charlton’s runner has enough class for a Class 5 of this nature, and 9/2 makes him the value alternative to the obvious pair at the head of the market. He looks a sensible each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
My Ambition is the straightforward win play; he comes here fit, well weighted and with the assistance of Hollie Doyle in a race that should suit his style. For an each-way option in this six-runner field, Magical Merlin makes more appeal than the bigger-priced veterans. The main danger is Signcastle City, who sets the standard on recent form and is very hard to dismiss.

18:55 – Fairplay Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any stretch, but it is a race with a bit of shape to it. Dash Of Class sets the standard on recent form after edging forward on his last two starts, while Lady Lauren brings the most consistent profile in the field and looks sure to be popular from a low draw. Mohmentous has been harder to trust, though the booking of Billy Loughnane catches the eye, and Atalanta Mist is another who could step forward now handicapping experience starts to kick in. The rest have questions to answer, particularly on recent evidence. In a seven-runner race around Bath’s sharp mile, tactical positioning will matter plenty, and this looks more about who is improving than any proven solid handicapper lurking in the line-up.
Top Selections
1. Dash Of Class – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Doughty | Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Form: 600-43 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed:
Dash Of Class is hardly bombproof, but he has the strongest recent form in the race and that counts for plenty in a modest little handicap like this. He shaped better when fourth on his return and then backed that up with a placed effort last time, suggesting he is beginning to work things out. An opening mark of 62 is not especially lenient, but it may still prove workable in this company, and he doesn’t need a huge amount of progress to win. At around 9/4, he isn’t hiding, but he is the one with the clearest upward curve and makes plenty of appeal. Bet type: win.
Bet: WIN
2. Lady Lauren – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Ed de Giles | Form: 24323- | Rating: 57 | Topspeed: 37
Lady Lauren looks the percentage each-way play because, unlike a few of these, she has already shown a willingness to run her race time and again. That sequence of placed efforts reads well enough for a contest of this standard, and a mark of 57 doesn’t look beyond her at all. The draw in stall 2 should help around here, and Luke Morris is the sort to keep things uncomplicated if she gets into a handy early pitch. She may just lack the scope of the favourite, which is why she’s the saver rather than the main play, but at 7/2 she still makes plenty of each-way sense in a small field lacking depth. Bet type: each-way.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Dash Of Class is the win bet, simply because he brings the best recent form and looks the most likely improver. Lady Lauren is the each-way alternative for those wanting a steadier option, with her consistency and low draw both positives. Mohmentous is the one I’d fear most if bouncing back, while Atalanta Mist is not hopeless if the market speaks in her favour.

Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary Bath Class 6, but that does not make it easy. Brinton sets the standard on recent form after a couple of solid placed efforts, while Havana Club has slipped to a workable mark and is weighted to get involved if building on his latest fourth. Man Is King is another who keeps knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, and Scenario is dangerous if forgiven a lesser run last time. In a race lacking much obvious upside, the draw and ability to travel on this quick surface could be decisive. It is not a deep contest and there are a few exposed types in here, so I would rather side with the runners arriving in some sort of form than go chasing a dramatic revival.
Top Selections
1. Brinton – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Jonathan Portman | Form: -32752 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 47
Brinton is the percentage call. He has been running well in defeat, and that latest second suggests another race of this nature is well within reach. The profile is solid rather than exciting, but in a race full of exposed handicappers that is no bad thing. Stall 3 looks a handy draw around Bath, Rob Hornby is an asset in these tactical mile handicaps, and Jonathan Portman’s runner does not need to improve much to take this. At 5/2 he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he is the one with the clearest, most dependable recent claims. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Havana Club – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Adrian Wintle | Form: 9-U884 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 63
Havana Club makes plenty of each-way appeal because there was more encouragement in that recent fourth than the bare finishing position might suggest. He has the joint-best topspeed figure in the field, is effectively well treated at the weights, and stall 2 should allow Finley Marsh to hold a sensible position on a track where that matters. He does have a frustrating profile and is not one to trust blindly, but this is a weak enough race for him to play a major hand if things drop right. Around 4/1, he looks the sensible each-way alternative to the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Brinton is the straightforward win play because his recent form is the most persuasive in the field and he looks hard to oppose in a race of this quality. Havana Club is the each-way punt, with his mark, draw and stronger speed figures giving him a solid chance of making the frame. Man Is King rates the main danger if again running to his usual level.

Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 8.2) (Firm, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any stretch, but it is a race with a fairly obvious core and a few lurking dangers if the pace collapses. Oasis Sunrise and Redhot Whisper dominate the market for good reason, both arriving with recent placed form and both looking well enough treated in this grade. Baynoona is the other one with a realistic chance if building on her reappearance, while Clipsham Noble has a workable draw and enough ability to get involved. The rest have plenty to prove, even if Grand Harbour has a topspeed figure that gives him a squeak on old form. Around Bath’s turning mile on fast ground, tactical position and the ability to travel smoothly should count for plenty, and that may well settle matters between the principals.

1. Redhot Whisper – 2/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Adrian Wintle | Form: 90-903 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 66
Redhot Whisper gets the vote because that latest third suggested he is coming to the boil at exactly the right time, and he doesn’t need to improve much to win a race of this modest standard. He’s the joint-highest rated horse in the field, owns one of the better topspeed figures on offer, and his recent profile is stronger than plenty of these. Adrian Wintle’s runner should be suited by a truly run mile on quick ground, and Finley Marsh is a solid booking for a horse who can travel into it. At 2/1 he isn’t a giveaway, but he still looks the percentage call in a race lacking depth. Bet type tag: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Clipsham Noble – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Liam Wright | Trainer: Charlie Clover | Form: 065-46 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 63
Clipsham Noble makes plenty of each-way appeal in a nine-runner handicap where only a handful arrive with any convincing momentum. His latest sixth doesn’t leap off the page, but it came after a respectable fourth on his return and there is enough there to think he can be competitive off 67 in this company. The draw in stall 2 could help him secure a handy position around here, which matters at Bath more than some like to admit. Liam Wright takes over for Charlie Clover, and at 15/2 he looks a fair bit more interesting than some of the shorter-priced alternatives for place purposes. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Redhot Whisper is the win play and looks the most solid option based on current form and figures. For those wanting a bit more juice, Clipsham Noble is the each-way punt at 15/2, with his draw and workable mark putting him in the mix for the three places. Oasis Sunrise is the obvious danger after two solid efforts, while Baynoona could outrun her price if sharper for her comeback.
