Thank You To Bath University Handicap

Can be forgiven his final start for Craig Lidster at Doncaster in late-March but his form had been heading in the wrong direction prior to that and he's a first runner on the Flat for new yard.

Several creditable placed efforts on the all-weather since joining current yard, without looking the easiest to win with, but she could be interesting making a first handicap start on turf.

Veteran wasn't suited by the slow tempo when retried over this trip at Windsor last time and while his losing run stretches back to 2023, he cannot be totally discounted eased in grade.

Made all in back-to-back handicaps here last month, latterly when defying a penalty over C&D, but he seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield (7.5f). Easy to make a case for on return to a more suitable distance, though soft ground would be a question mark.

Ground-versatile sort who ought to have finished closer to Man Is King when second on return here and having run another solid race when third behind a couple of subsequent winners at Windsor last time, he's fancied to notch a fifth C&D success.

5-time Wolverhampton winner wasn't seen to best effect on second start for a new yard there last time and while effective on turf, she needs plenty to fall right given her style.

Free-going sort who was successful here (1m, heavy) on final start for Alison Thorpe in October. Looks to be back in form for new connections, finishing fourth of 9 over C&D last time, and won't be inconvenienced by any rainfall.

Flat maiden who was well backed when second in a similar event at Leicester last year, but he never landed a blow on return at Windsor and again goes without usual headgear.

Inconsistent sort is without win since her C&D success in heavy ground in May 2024 but has fallen to a handy mark as a result and should be better for her second start of the season at Windsor last month.
