Uncle Dick^v¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 69| BF| D

18/1

Won at Brighton 39 days ago and ran respectably when fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (10/3) 16 days ago, racing wide throughout. Should be more competitive under his regular rider.

Form: 466165

Mum's Angel¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: C G Cox| OR: 70| D

9/2

Won 5-runner handicap at Salisbury (1m. soft) 16 days ago, awarded race after being hampered in final furlong. Extra furlong clearly suited that day and he looks capable of following up under similar conditions.

Form: 65761

Pivotal Days¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 69

12/1

Mohaather gelding who landed a heavy ground Haydock nursery over 7f last autumn but finished eighth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (28/1) 17 days ago when the 10f trip didn't suit. Should appreciate return to a mile and softer conditions.

Form: 713-798

Ajrad^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| CD

13/2

Has won 3 of last 4 starts including victory in handicap at this C&D in similar conditions 11 days ago. Has seemingly turned over a new leaf and should remain competitive off his revised mark.

Form: 021121

The Sweet Escape²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: D Loughnane| OR: 67

14/1

Has shown ability in handicaps but finished fourth of 10 at Southwell (7f) 20 days ago when racing wide and below previous form. May need to improve for the longer trip.

Form: 475044

Albus Anne^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁷⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 61| CD

15/8

Course specialist with all three career wins coming at Bath over this distance. Finished second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7/2) 16 days ago, running best effort of the season in reapplied hood but hampered by typical slow start. Capable but comes with risks attached.

Form: 133-732

Thiscouldbefun^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 64| CD

11/1

Below winning mark and finished second of 12 in handicap at Windsor (16/1) 13 days ago with headgear refitted, no extra behind one with far fewer miles on the clock. Course and distance winner should remain competitive if in similar form here.

Form: 577442

(8)

Bizou²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 63| BF

10/1

Showed best form when third of 13 on AW handicap debut in May but disappointing favourite when sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11/4 favourite) 26 days ago, hampered late on. One of the least exposed in this field and isn't dismissed if she handles softer ground on return to turf.

Form: 76-4356

(2)

Princess Jastar³⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 57

125/1

Has shown modest ability in five career starts, finishing fifth of 8 in AW handicap at Kempton (4/1) 390 days ago when plugging on late after a typically slow start. Returns after long absence for new trainer and remains with something to prove.

Form: 84545-

Lady Kameko^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: S Pearce| OR: 60

50/1

Yet to win and looked less than straightforward on stable debut when eighth of 9 in 7f handicap at Newmarket (50/1) 22 days ago, hanging badly left. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 4-77558

Forecasts

Albus Anne (15/8), Sant Alessio (10/3), Mum's Angel (9/2), Ajrad (13/2), Dapper Gee Gee (13/2), Bizou (10/1), Thiscouldbefun (11/1), Pivotal Days (12/1), The Sweet Escape (14/1), Uncle Dick (18/1), Lady Kameko (50/1), Princess Jastar (125/1)

MUM'S ANGEL proved a different proposition when stepped up to a mile on soft ground at Salisbury last time, and having been awarded the race, is fancied to follow up. Albus Anne is a Bath specialist, while Bizou isn't dismissed if she handles softer ground on return to turf.
