7/4
Won his final start for his previous yard but yet to get his head in front for trainer. Produced a better effort at Windsor last time and yard are flying at present so there's plenty to like about his claims from just 1lb higher than his last win.

4/1
Gained a first win in 14 turf starts at Leicester last month but has disappointed in two subsequent outings. Handicapper may have caught up with him.

11/2
Five time C&D winner returning here 4lb below her last winning mark that came in July 2017. While disappointing on recent starts, she warrants plenty of respect back at this venue.

9/1
Just one win from 14 turf starts to date and he's failed to back up his Brighton win in June on three outings since, only beating a total of one rival home. Has enough to prove.

9/2
Gained a first win since her course success as a juvenile at Leicester earlier in the campaign and she was only narrowly denied back at that course on Tuesday. Able to race off the same mark and has claims if taking up this engagement.

14/1
Three-time course winner who ended a losing run at Chepstow in July. Hasn't been at that level since though and well beaten when last seen back at Chepstow. Races from out of the handicap here.

14/1
Didn't beat a rival home on her first three starts but has more than hinted at ability in two more recent efforts. Yard do well with their sprinters and she's respected making her handicap debut here.

Forecasts

Red Alert (7/4), Perfect Symphony (4/1), Dreamboat Annie (9/2), Babyfact (11/2), Tawaafoq (9/1), Dream For Life (14/1), Jaganory (14/1)

Verdict

BABYFACT has no fewer than five course and distance wins to her name and a return to Bath may spark a revival in her form. Dream For Life is unexposed and put up a much improved effort last time out. Tony Carroll's yard are in good from and Red Alert should be on the premises.
