0.17/1(+70%)

LTO Selection:

14:30 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Boujee Gold wasn't disgraced when fourth at Leicester earlier this month and she is one to monitor closely in the betting, while Certain Style has the scope to improve now she has experience of this trip. However, ROSE BOLT has shaped with promise on both her starts to date on the all-weather and another step forward could see her hard to beat on this occasion.

ROSE BOLT was unable to build on her promising debut when third at Southwell in March but she's back from a break switched to turf with a tongue strap back on and this isn't a deep race. Newcomers Ciara Pearl and Another Dream are feared most.

The most obvious answer to this uncompetitive maiden is ROSE BOLT, who was placed twice on the AW in the early part of this year.

First-time tongue-tie needs to make a difference on stable/seasonal debut.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Unlike many of his rivals, THRAVE does have winning form over a mile and this may be a decent opportunity for the eight-year-old to get his head back in front. The selection has struggled to land a blow in handicaps lately and looks a prime candidate to benefit from the nature of this sort of race. Previous C&D winner Lilandra is feared most, despite also being on a long losing run, while the first-time blinkered Taswara completes the shortlist.

Three-year-old CEILIDH has yet to win a race but probably won't get many better opportunities at this level with Connor Planas a positive jockey booking. Thrave is a lot more exposed but can make his presence felt, along with Lilandra.

Some of the 3yos are still fairly unexposed. The suggestion is DAME LAURA KNIGHT, ahead of Taswara.

Hagia Sophia

5/1(-11%)
(7) Hagia Sophia 5/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 16 days ago, running on. Another bold bid likely.
Kept on well to make frame on last two starts; needs to prove she can handle this track.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Recent course and distance winner Delagate This Lord and Hagia Sophia can play strong roles at this level and both command respect. However, FIRST COMPANY shades preference on the back of last week's narrow C&D defeat, where he may well have won were it not for an awkward start. The five-year-old is on a competitive rating and has a live chance of exploiting it on this occasion.

FIRST COMPANY's strike rate will put some off but he's down to a lowly level now and having found only one too good over C&D a week ago, he looks the most persuasive option. Delagate This Lord made a winning start for Robyn Brisland and he retains handicap scope, with Hagia Sophia another to consider.

The pick is DELAGATE THIS LORD, who started off for Robyn Brisland with a C&D dead-heat last month and is still on a good mark.

Old-timer who has poor strike-rate in recent years; not seen since February.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

I'M MABLE has been in consistent form of late, having won at Brighton on her penultimate start, and she gets the vote having not received much luck in running when fourth over C&D last Wednesday. With conditions to suit, she can master the likes of Therehegoes, who remains feasibly handicapped and was beaten less than a length here on his most recent outing, and The Cola Kid.

THE COLA KID didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a very good C&D third a week ago and can resume winning ways off a 1 lb lower mark now. I'm Mable finished a place behind Grace Harris's 6-y-o that day and is feared most with C&D winner Bluebell Time also in the mix in a competitive handicap.

Placed from a tough draw over C&D a week ago, THE COLA KID (nap) ought to be a tough nut to crack off today's 1lb lower mark.

Yet to hit top gear this season but latest run was a step back in the right direction.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DIRHAM EMIRATI narrowly got the better of Urban Forest (second) when scoring here recently and he can uphold that form, despite a 1lb swing at the weights. The slight rise in distance is another plus and it may be that his biggest challenge comes from Geelong, who has placed on two of his last three starts. Beggarman and Cloudy Rose are capable of being in the mix.

A few with chances but the vote goes to SILVER BUBBLE who arrives on the back of a very good fourth here and can take another step forward now upped in distance. Dirham Emirati is feared most on the back of his recent victory here with in-form trio Urban Forest, Beggarman and Thunder Flash also well in the mix.

An interesting option is SILVER BUBBLE, who posted a pretty good effort over 11.6f here a week ago and now tackles a new trip.

(8) Billaki Mou 5.5/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Looks competitive on form.

(7) Flammable 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Beaten 12 lengths when third of 8 on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1¼m, soft) 11 days ago. Very early days but she needs to step up on that now.

Unplaced all 11 starts and needs to take a good step forward.

(10) Texas Boy 28/1, 10/1 and blinkered for first time, first run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when respectable fourth (Flammable narrowly ahead in third) of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (1¼m, soft) 11 days ago.
Closely matched with Flammable on recent Salisbury form but overall record not persuasive.

(5) Timewaitsfornobody 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago, weakening after pulling hard. It remains to be seen whether this longer trip is what's required.
Last of nine when 50-1 for seasonal/handicap/stable debut at Doncaster (1m) last month.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

This can go the way of ANGEL OF PEACE, who arguably produced a career-best effort when runner-up at Yarmouth earlier in the month. Ed Walker's charge remains on a workable mark and she may have too much for Flammable, who is entitled to step forward from her handicap debut when third at Salisbury recently, and the consistent Billaki Mou. Others to note include Bailar Contigo and Queen Of Steel.

ANGEL OF PEACE pulled out a little more for cheekpieces last time and may be able to get off the mark if showing up here in similar form. Bailar Contigo came good in a classified event at Yarmouth last week and is second choice ahead of George Baker's Billaki Mou.

Well-bred filly FLAMMABLE may not have been ideally suited by the soft ground on her handicap debut and still has potential.

Hasn't shown enough off basement marks this year to suggest she's the answer here.

(6) Nevendon 5.5/1, 18/1, respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (17f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Shaped better than the result when fourth on the Flat at Brighton prior to that.
Won selling hurdle in May and last month's Flat run was respectable; each-way claims.

(1) Gearing's Point 2.25/1, Made it 4-6 for this yard when seeing off 8 rivals in a C&D handicap (good to firm, 4/5) 21 days ago. A further 3 lb nudge may not prevent her going in again.
4-6 for new stable this season, with the latest win gained over C&D; commands respect.

Seven-race maiden who has become rather disappointing; back in trip with visor on.
LTO Selection:

17:55 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A determined winner over C&D last time out, GEARING'S POINT is in the form of her life at present and the four-timer looks like a distinct possibility for Sheena West's charge. The five-year-old goes really well at this trip and her proven stamina can come in handy against course specialist Blue Hero, who has done all of winning over shorter this season. Princess T cannot be ruled out either following her third here last month.

A further 3 lb rise may not prevent the thriving GEARING'S POINT from going in yet again. Course specialist Blue Hero is another who is very much in the winning habit at present and is second choice ahead of Charlie Arthur, who ran quite well at Newbury last time and has dipped below the mark he defied on turf last summer.

Topweight GEARING'S POINT might still be improving and is selected to record her fifth win since her stable debut in May.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
