17:55 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Apache Star merits plenty of respect following his C&D triumph last week but a 5lb penalty will make his life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for BIG BARD, who has won his last three starts on turf and is only 2lb higher than for the most recent of those victories at Nottingham. Autumn Angel is another recent track-and-trip winner to consider, while Symbol of Hope completes the shortlist.

BIG BARD has been in fine form of late with the cheekpieces reapplied, doing just enough once in front when resuming winning ways at Nottingham last time, and he is taken to add to his tally. Autumn Angel got back on track when scoring at this C&D on her latest outing and could be the main danger, with Concierge completing the shortlist.

Preference is for BIG BARD who has won three of his last four starts and is just 2lb higher than for his latest success.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

MINI MAGNA took a big step forward from his introduction when a head second at Catterick last week and Ed Dunlop's gelding could be hard to stop if finding further progression here. Kandoo showed plenty of promise in Ireland and has to be of interest on her debut for Archie Watson. Moe's Legacy edges out Via Electriano and Something To Do to be the pick of the remainder.

KANDOO has the best form on offer and can make a winning debut for Archie Watson. Mini Magna and Via Electriano look the likeliest dangers.

Preference is for MINI MAGNA who only went down by a head at Catterick on his second start and could easily take another step forward.

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

ELEGANCIA has already shown plenty of ability in her short career to date and was last seen finishing a close second at Nottingham in June. A reproduction of that level of form would give the daughter of Lope De Vega a big chance here. Ribal also hit the crossbar on his most recent start and Andrew Balding's gelding has to be of some interest. Others to note are Esmeray and Ginza.

There should be more to come from ESMERAY, who produced an encouraging first effort at Newbury last month. Elegancia and Ribal look the obvious dangers.

The form choice is ELEGANCIA, ahead of Ribal. Esmeray is open to improvement.

19:35 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

OCEAN RIDGE put up the best performance of his career to date when third at Yarmouth off a 1lb higher mark and he could improve further for this step up in distance. The unexposed three-year-old can shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking, although Miss Sligo has been in fine form recently and will be dangerous. Last week's Bath third Susanbequick is another to consider.

MISS SLIGO arrives in fine form and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Ocean Ridge and Big Jimbo head the list of dangers.

A few have stamina to prove and the ground is a concern for most. As it stands OCEAN RIDGE is narrowly preferred to Miss Sligo.

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

BEAU ROC forced All In The Hips and Katar to settle for minor honours when scoring by a length over 5f at this track on her penultimate run, and she was well on top at the line that day so can confirm her superiority and put her subsequent Doncaster defeat behind her. Princess Naomi's form has tapered off but she was in fine fettle here back in the spring and could be a player if she can recapture that sparkle.

ALL IN THE HIPS ran one of this season's lesser races at Haydock 13 days ago, but she had finished runner-up at this course on her previous 2 starts and is now 1 lb below her last winning mark. She can leave her latest run behind to get the better of Princess Naomi, who can also bounce back returned to this C&D. Katar is another to consider.

A chance is taken on GIDDY AUNT, who'll be happier down from 7f and whose dam was fine on slow ground. Katar is second choice.

20:35 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Fossos went in by half a length at Chepstow last week, even though he was slow to break, so he has to be considered, but he has a 5lb penalty to contend with, which could pave the way for WATERMELON SUGAR. The four-year-old showed a bit more when sixth at Yarmouth and he has been left on the same rating. Clownsman completes the shortlist on his return to turf after his Wolverhampton fourth.

FOSSOS has returned to form with the tongue tie left off on his last 2 starts, getting back to winning ways with a ready success at Chepstow a week ago, so he could be up to defying a penalty. Shesadabber goes well on ground softer than good and is feared most back down in grade, ahead of We're Reunited.

Gherkin (second choice) has plenty in his favour, but the well-treated WATERMELON SUGAR (nap) is preferred back on slower ground.

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.
