Drop back down to this trip a positive after his performance over 7f last time out, has to overcome a big weight here but was progressive until recently and every chance he can continue that improvement.

No win since May 2014 and too many doubts about his current level of ability and recent form for him to be under serious consideration.

Return to sprint trips clearly suited at Bath last time when running his best race for his current trainer to date. Any rain a plus but has to be one for the shortlist.

Probably better over 5f than 6f but also has limited form over this trip, on the same mark as when beaten only a neck last time out and has a nice draw in stall 1.

Last time at Bath probably the strongest effort of his five races to date but he was still well held and looks set for another minor role here.

Just the one career victory for an unfavourable overall strike-rate, with that victory and many of her other best runs coming over further than this, and she looks vulnerable back down at this trip.

19 race maiden who is somewhat unlucky not to have gotten off the mark by this point, but hasn't been giving her best efforts recently nor been given much help by the handicapper.

Not in the worst of form recently but hasn't won over this short a trip since 2012 and almost certainly lacks the pace for sprint distances nowadays.

Not Flat turf win since August 2013 and has looked completely out of sorts recently. Readily passed over in favour of much more in-form rivals.

Forecasts

Nutini (11/10), Sweet Pursuit (3/1), Princess Way (8/1), The Hooded Claw (8/1), Toni's A Star (12/1), Doctor Parkes (12/1), Flying Sakhee (14/1), Fivos (25/1), All Or Nothin (40/1), Louis Vee (80/1)

Verdict

It's difficult to separate the few leading contenders here, who all have questions marks of one form or another, but maybe SWEET PURSUIT can defy top weight. This filly should enjoy the drop down to 6f, and most importantly given her high mark has potential to resume the progression she was showing until recently. Toni's A Star is probably better over the minimum trip but is also considered, in addition to Nutini, who probably wants more rain.
