BetWright Safer Gambling Handicap (Bath Summer Sprint Series Qualifier)

Runners: 6 runners

Type: Flat Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Light rain

Form: 125227 D

Last run: 5 days

W: 9st 9lb

5 yo Filly

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
She was an unlucky loser at Chepstow on her penultimate start and when down the field at Sandown on Friday it was a stronger race and on ground that may have been slower than she cares for; fine on good to soft but the raceday forecast is bleak enough to look elsewhere.

Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart.

Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives.

A few near-misses to go with her C&D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that.

Narrow winner of a 5.7f handicap here last month (the second, third and fifth run in the preceding race); fair third in a stronger race at Sandown on Friday and he won't be inconvenienced by rain.

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently.

Lightly raced 5yo; latest start, her second run back from a layoff, was a fair bit better than her reappearance and she still has time to deliver an improved performance.

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall.

Standing dish here having recorded seven of his eight wins at the track, three over this trip; best of three efforts for this trainer was the first of them here (5.5f, good) last month; it's hard to rule him out here but he needs to be much better than his last two starts.
