Jaganory^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Lulu Stanford⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 61| CD

7/2

Gets on well with his jockey and the pair made all to win a race over this CD last time, beating Staffa by just under a length. A good run from that horse earlier on the card would back the form up and he will give another good account here.

Form: 710471

Prominna¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| BF| CD

3/1

All three career wins have been gained over the minimum trip including a success on this course way back in August 2015. He ran a very good race in defeat last time out over 5f at Ffos Las and he is sure to attract plenty of support.

Form: 13-3634

Fantasy Justifier^b1⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Fran Berry| T: R Harris| OR: 59

6/4

Three times a winner early in his career and is running into a bit of form at the moment, placed in his last two races over 6f. Headed close home at Nottingham last time, his time again looks near and this shorter trip will hold no fears. Strong contender.

Form: 9-99932

Evening Starlight¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: R J Hodges| OR: 56

11/1

Both wins in her career to date were gained over 6f on the AW at Lingfield, but her losing run continues to lengthen. She dropped away tamely here at Bath last time and will need a return to her very best.

Form: 9-84588

David's Beauty^b1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 52| D

9/2

Another fairly consistent sprinter with three wins to her name and she arrives here in pretty good form. Beaten 2L behind Jaganory in a race over CD last time after a slow start, she could give them something to thing about if away on level terms here.

Forecasts

Fantasy Justifier (6/4), Prominna (3/1), Jaganory (7/2), David's Beauty (9/2), Ask The Guru (5/1), John Joiner (11/2), Angelito (7/1), Evening Starlight (11/1), Archie Stevens (14/1), Malaysian Boleh (14/1), Secret Asset (20/1), Molly Jones (25/1), Your Gifted (25/1), Blackadder (66/1)

Angelito represents solid each-way value in this company and Bath is certainly his favourite track. David's Beauty caught the eye last time out after losing a little ground at the start and she could bustle them up, while Ask The Guru could not be in better shape, arriving here in search of a hat-trick following back-to-back wins. The selection, however, goes to FANTASY JUSTIFIER. Caught close home over 6f last time, the drop back to 5f should suit and he can get his head in front. John Joiner, Jaganory and Prominna are others with claims in a wide-open sprint.
