14:00 – Bath Country Race Day, What A Way To Make Weekend! EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Qual’) (GBB)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This does not look a deep maiden on paper and, bluntly, Etienne sets a clear standard. Richard Spencer’s colt has already shown plenty more than these, posting figures that tower over the field and shaping like a winner waiting to happen after finishing second and fourth in his two starts. Behind him, it becomes more of a scrap for minor honours. Tree Wizard has at least put together a sequence of respectable efforts and looks the obvious one to chase the favourite home, while Anna Belardo is not entirely dismissed if improving again. Our Fella has had chances and Polly The Sniper needs a chunk of progress, so this feels less like a puzzle and more like a question of whether the jolly merely wins or wins well.
Top Selections
1. Etienne – 1/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 24 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 82
There is no getting away from the fact that Etienne is the class act here. An official mark of 86 in a restricted Bath maiden is a major edge, and his Topspeed figure of 82 tells the same story. He was good enough to finish second before backing that up with a solid fourth, and those runs are miles stronger than anything most of these have produced. Saffie Osborne is an assured booking for a sharp 5f, and if he breaks on terms he should simply have too much pace and substance for this lot. At 1/6 you are not shopping for value, just the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tree Wizard – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Abdulla Rashid Al Hajri | Trainer: Hilal Kobeissi | Form: 92623 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 68
If you want something to play against the short-priced favourite, Tree Wizard makes the most appeal. He is not wildly progressive, but he has been knocking on the door in this grade and his recent 2-3 figures suggest he is at least holding his form together. A mark of 79 puts him comfortably second-best on ratings, and that matters in a race where several rivals have shown very little. He looks the type to travel well enough over this sharp 5f and keep on when lesser sorts are under pressure. Available at 10/1, he is the sensible each-way punt in a race lacking depth behind the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Etienne is the win bet and the one horse in the race with form that genuinely stands out. For a second angle, Tree Wizard is the each-way play at the prices, especially as he looks the most solid of the remainder. Anna Belardo is the danger if stepping forward again, but this really should revolve around the favourite.

14:30 – Welsh Power 20th Anniversary Handicap (Bath Summer Sprint Series Qualifier) (Div I)
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly ordinary Class 6 sprint, but not an easy one to dismiss as a throwaway heat because a few arrive with believable claims. Ken Brulee is the obvious starting point after getting his head back in front last time and he looks the most likely progressive type in the line-up. The Feminine Urge has been knocking on the door without quite sealing the deal, while Starsong brings the best Topspeed figure and is well enough treated if bouncing back from a flat latest run. Bath’s sharp 5f can be unforgiving, so early position and handling the track matter plenty. Several of these are exposed at the level, which makes this a race where the younger legs of Ken Brulee could prove decisive, though it’s still a contest with enough moving parts to demand caution.
Top Selections
1. Ken Brulee – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Mark Usher | Form: 174361 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 55
He makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. That latest win gives him the strongest recent piece of form on offer and, as a 3yo against largely exposed older handicappers, he still has more room to manoeuvre than most. The mark of 62 does not look punitive, and his recent profile suggests he has learned how to race with a bit more purpose. Rob Hornby is a positive booking around a track where getting organised early matters, and at 5/2 he is hardly a giveaway price but still looks fair enough. In a modest sprint, siding with the one coming here in winning form makes obvious sense.
Bet: WIN
2. Starsong – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson | Trainer: Michael Appleby | Form: 355520 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 64
He is the each-way angle because there is enough in his recent efforts to think he can get seriously involved if forgiven one below-par run. That Topspeed figure of 64 is the best in the field, and in a race of this nature that gives him a perfectly solid platform. Michael Appleby’s sprinters are often dangerous in this grade when dropped into the right spot, and this looks close to that. He has become a little frustrating, which is why he is not the win play, but 9/2 is workable in a nine-runner race with three places on offer. If he breaks on terms and travels as he can, he should be thereabouts.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ken Brulee is the win bet on the strength of that recent success and his scope as the unexposed 3yo in the field. For cover, Starsong makes more appeal as an each-way punt than some of the shorter alternatives. The Feminine Urge is the obvious danger if building on a string of respectable efforts, but she is starting to look a touch expensive for one who doesn’t win often enough.

15:00 – Welsh Power 20th Anniversary Handicap (Bath Summer Sprint Series Qualifier) (Div II)
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly ordinary Bath Class 6 sprint, but that does not make it simple. Several arrive with bits of placed form without looking bombproof, which is usually the recipe for a trappy 5f handicap round here. Sisters In The Sky has been knocking on the door and sets the standard on recent consistency, while Geemann is the unexposed 3yo in the line-up and shaped well enough in similar company to think a race like this is within reach. Honour Your Dreams is another with a chance if getting the breaks from a wide stall, and Rogue Rebellion has been running respectably without quite getting his head in front. In truth, early speed and a clean run down this sharp track will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Geemann – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Taylor Fisher | Trainer: Joe Tickle | Form: -05334 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 56
Geemann looks the percentage call in a race where most have had plenty of chances. He is a 3yo taking on older sprinters off a mark of 62 and his recent figures suggest he is edging towards a deserved success rather than regressing. The latest fourth came after a sequence of solid efforts, and that Topspeed mark of 56 is right up there in this field. Stall 2 is no bad place to attack from at Bath over the minimum trip, and if Taylor Fisher can hold a handy position early, this horse has the profile of one who can nick a race of this nature. Available at 7/2, he makes most appeal.
Bet: WIN
2. Sisters In The Sky – 7/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Tyler Heard | Trainer: Grace Harris | Form: 349234 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 56
Sisters In The Sky is hardly hiding from the assessor, but she is the one bringing the steadiest recent form into the race. Those figures of 349234 tell the story well enough: she keeps turning up and running to a similar level, and in this grade that usually puts you right in the mix. She is actually 3lb wrong at the weights off 66, which is an obvious negative, but she has the race-fitness and sharp 5f speed to cope if things fall right. Tyler Heard knows her well enough, and at 7/2 she looks a perfectly fair each-way play in a contest lacking depth rather than a wildly adventurous one.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Geemann is the win play because he has the more progressive profile and fewer miles on the clock than most of these exposed rivals. Sisters In The Sky is the each-way option for those wanting a bit more security, as she keeps running her race in this grade. Honour Your Dreams is the obvious danger if overcoming stall 9, while Rogue Rebellion is another to consider for minor honours.

15:30 – Trusted Betting Site Reviews gambling.com Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly typical Bath sprint handicap: exposed, tightly matched and very easy to overthink. Plenty arrive with bits of recent form, headed by Call Time, Fancy Dancer and Jackie Brown, while old regulars like Recon Mission and Wedgewood are solid enough without looking bombproof. The track often rewards early pace and the ability to handle the downhill burn-up, so draw and sharpness matter more than raw class in a race like this. Call Time comes here off a decent third and looks one of the more reliable options, but there are dangers everywhere in a 10-runner Class 6 where margins are usually small. It is not a strong race, but it is a competitive little puzzle and value will matter.
Top Selections
1. Call Time – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Taylor Fisher | Trainer: J S Moore | Form: 5-0763 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 56
Call Time makes plenty of appeal in a race where most have had their chances. That latest third suggested he is coming to the boil again, and his rating of 67 gives him a solid edge at this level if he can back it up. The topspeed figure of 56 is right up there with the best in the field too, which matters in a sharp 5f scrap around Bath. Stall 2 looks handy, and he does not need huge improvement to take this. At 7/2 he is not wildly overpriced, but he is one of the few here with genuinely solid, current claims and looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Recon Mission – 15/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: -66533 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 50
Recon Mission is a 10-year-old now, so nobody should kid themselves there is loads in hand, but he has been running well enough to make each-way sense in this company. His recent figures of 33 show he is holding his form, and he has slipped to a workable mark of 63. Tony Carroll knows exactly how to place these sprinters, while Luke Morris is the sort you want on a battle-hardened speed horse at a track like Bath. He is not the most obvious winner if one of the younger legs finds a bit more, but at 15/2 he looks a fair each-way punt in a race lacking standout quality. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Call Time is the win play after shaping like one ready to strike and having the right sort of speed figure for this grade. Recon Mission is the each-way alternative at a fairer price, with his recent placed efforts making him solid enough for the frame. Jackie Brown and Fancy Dancer look the obvious dangers, while Wedgewood is another who would not be a surprise if bouncing back.

16:00 – Bath Country Race Day, Running 9 Till 5 Handicap
Race Details: 1m 6f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary staying handicap on paper, but there are at least a few with solid enough recent claims. Just Adair and Basilette set the standard on ratings and both arrive with consistent placed form, while Fram Castle has been knocking on the door and looks sure to be popular again after a good third last time. Notable Charm is the interesting lightweight as a 3yo taking on older stayers, and he is one of the few open to a bit more improvement at the trip. The rest have plenty to prove, with Trooper, Nora Barnacle and Alex The Great all needing a revival. In truth, it is not a deep race, but it is a slightly tricky one because the market principals all have something to recommend them.
Top Selections
1. Just Adair – 9/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Pat Cosgrave | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 28-226 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 56
Just Adair is the percentage call. He has been holding his form in this grade, his figures reading better than most in here, and that mark of 67 still gives him a leading chance in a race lacking depth. The slight niggle is that he was only sixth last time, but he had been runner-up twice before that and this does not look any stronger. Pat Cosgrave is a positive booking for a race that may turn tactical, and if he gets this fellow settled into a rhythm over this staying trip, he should take plenty of pegging back. At around 9/4, he is short enough, but still the one they all have to beat.
Bet: WIN
2. Notable Charm – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Marcus Tregoning | Form: 096464 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 54
Notable Charm makes more each-way appeal than some of the exposed older stayers. He is only 3, gets in here with just 122lb, and his topspeed figure of 54 says he is not far off the principals if seeing out the extra distance strongly. His recent form does not scream winner, but a couple of those midfield efforts were perfectly respectable and this is the sort of weak Class 6 where a lightly raced younger horse can suddenly find a bit. Rob Hornby is a rider you want on a horse needing a measured, patient trip at Bath, and 9/1 looks fair enough for an each-way punt with three places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Just Adair is the win play in a race where solid recent handicap form counts for plenty. For those wanting a bit more value, Notable Charm appeals each-way off a light weight and as one of the few with some scope to improve. Basilette and Fram Castle are the obvious dangers, with the latter especially hard to dismiss after another near miss.

16:30 – Regal Gaming Grand Gallop Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a busy little Bath mile handicap rather than a deep one, and the market has latched on to the right filly in Buckland Belle. She brings the most convincing recent profile, is well berthed in stall 1 and her consistency stands out in a race where plenty have either gone off the boil or are a bit exposed. Blue Hero arrives in hot form for the Wintle yard and is the obvious threat despite a wider draw, while Havana Club and Electric Bass have enough recent pieces of form to get involved if the race falls right. Beyond those, you are into older handicappers with patchy profiles or younger types still learning. It is not an impossible puzzle, but the favourite does set a fair standard.
Top Selections
1. Buckland Belle – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: Ollie Sangster | Form: 322132 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 59
She is hard to oppose on what she has been doing. That recent sequence of 322132 is the profile of a filly holding her form extremely well, and she comes here with the best rating in the field despite carrying only 130. The draw in 1 looks a plus around Bath, and Tom Marquand is exactly the sort you want on a solid favourite in a race where track position matters. She does not look wildly ahead of the assessor, so even-money is not the bargain of the century, but in a modest Class 6 she has by far the most dependable claims and should take plenty of beating if reproducing her usual level. Bet: WIN
2. Electric Bass – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Dougie Costello | Trainer: Roger Teal | Form: 5-2253 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 53
If you want something at a price against the favourite, Electric Bass makes more each-way appeal than most. He has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, but the form figures 5-2253 show he has been running well often enough and he is drawn low enough in stall 4 to get a handy position. Roger Teal’s 4yo is still relatively lightly exposed compared to some of these battle-hardened handicappers, and this grade is not beyond him at all. Available at 12/1, he looks the value play in a race where plenty of rivals have questions attached and four places give him obvious each-way legs. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Buckland Belle is the straight win play because she brings the cleanest, most reliable form and should get a good trip from stall 1. For an each-way punt, Electric Bass makes more appeal than most at double-figure odds in a 14-runner race with four places on offer. Blue Hero is the danger on current form, while Havana Club is another who should not be underestimated.

17:02 – British EBF Fillies’ Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 4 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a tidy little six-runner fillies’ handicap rather than a deep one, but there are still a few angles to weigh up. Pierian is the obvious starting point for William Haggas after winning twice earlier in the summer, though she does have to shrug off a flat effort last time. Quebella brings solid, dependable form and looks sure to run her race again, while Asset fits the typical Prescott profile of a staying three-year-old still learning on the job. Aravalli arrives in flying form after four wins from her last five, but this is another step up in grade, and Mythical Bird comes here on the back of a confidence-boosting success. It’s not impossible, but it does look a race where the younger fillies may have the final say.
Top Selections
1. Asset – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: -23213 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 76
Asset makes plenty of appeal in a race where the market may focus a little too heavily on Pierian. Prescott’s three-year-olds over middle distances are always worth taking seriously once they get rolling, and this filly’s recent figures suggest she is doing just that. She won two starts back and wasn’t disgraced when third last time, while a racing weight of 129 makes her very interesting against older fillies and against rivals carrying more. Luke Morris is the ideal pilot for this type, and at 4/1 she looks the one with a bit of upside still to come over this trip. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Quebella – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Jamie Spencer | Trainer: Owen Burrows | Form: 364-33 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 50
Quebella is not especially difficult to read: she is consistent, she stays, and she usually gives herself a chance in this sort of event. Her last two runs have both produced placed efforts, and that mark of 89 sets the standard in pure ratings terms. The slight concern is that she keeps finding one or two too good, which is why she appeals more as the solid each-way play than the win bet in a race featuring a few less exposed three-year-olds. Still, Jamie Spencer on a hold-up filly around Bath is a combination that could become interesting late, and 10/3 is fair enough for a reliable each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Asset is the main play here, with her low weight and progressive profile making her the most appealing win bet. Quebella is the safer each-way alternative in a small but competitive field, especially if the principals underperform. Pierian is the danger if bouncing back from her latest run, while Aravalli has enough momentum to deserve respect despite the rise in class.

This is only a six-runner handicap but it is not an especially straightforward little finale. Belle Amie brings the most obvious recent profile, having won earlier in the year and run well in defeat since, while Jodhpur Blue has been knocking on the door in similar company and should be suited by a race of this nature. Shaffron is interesting on the back of an improved effort last time and still has a bit more scope than some of these exposed types. Offiah’s Boy arrives in form too, but this asks a slightly different question against rivals with stronger established ratings. In a modest Class 6, tactical positioning around Bath can matter plenty, and I suspect this will be decided by who gets the smoothest trip rather than any hidden star turning up late.
Top Selections
1. Belle Amie – 5/2 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Callum Shepherd | Trainer: David Simcock | Form: -14143 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 65
Belle Amie makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. Her recent form reads well for this grade, with a win already on the board this season and two solid placed efforts around it, and that Topspeed figure of 65 is the best in the field. She is operating from a mark of 72, which looks fair enough given how consistently she has been running, and David Simcock’s mare looks the one with the least guesswork attached. Callum Shepherd is a positive booking for a track where balance and timing matter, and at 5/2 she is not wildly overpriced but still makes plenty of sense as the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jodhpur Blue – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Edward Greatrex | Trainer: Ian Williams | Form: 226253 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 64
Jodhpur Blue is the one that appeals most as the value angle. He has been holding his form well without quite getting his head in front, but those repeated placed efforts suggest he remains competitive from this mark of 69. His Topspeed of 64 says he has the raw numbers to go very close in a race like this, and Ian Williams’ runners in these staying and middle-distance handicaps often find their level eventually. Edward Greatrex should be able to keep things simple from stall 3, and in a six-runner race that consistency can count for a lot. Available at 5/1, he looks a perfectly fair each-way punt with two places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Belle Amie is the win bet because she arrives with the strongest recent body of form and sets the standard on ratings and Topspeed. Jodhpur Blue is the each-way alternative at the bigger price, as he keeps running his race and should be thereabouts again. Shaffron is the obvious danger if building on his latest run, but the percentage play is to side with proven recent consistency.
