Bath

Market favourite at 5.5 with genuine course form: she won here 33 days ago and finished second at Nottingham shortly before. A 6-year-old with eight years in the game, she wins roughly once every thirteen races, but her Bath win proves she can handle both the course and normal ground conditions.

Three straight top-three finishes including a near-miss second just a week ago demonstrates she still has sharpness, and she boasts the best record at the distance (1 win from 3 five-furlong races). Running just seven days after her last race is tight, but her recent consistency over this trip makes her a live threat at 6.0.

Top-rated by 3lbs and primed to strike after 11 days away—this 10-year-old's fitness edge could matter in a tight sprint. Recon Mission hits the board in roughly two races out of three, but his two career wins both came on fast ground and he's never won on the standard conditions here, making consistency his calling card rather than his killer blow.

Best record on normal ground in the field (2 wins from 8) and the only runner tackling this race off the back of a previous-day outing at Lingfield. However, he hasn't visited the winner's enclosure for over fifteen months and arrives here with no recent wins, suggesting the class may finally have caught up.
