14:40 (Bath) Delagate This Lord

A change of scenery appears to have worked wonders for Delagate This Lord, who recorded a second success in as many starts for the Robyn Brisland team over course and distance a fortnight ago.

He remains well treated from 5lb higher and is fancied to continue his fine run, though multiple course winner Symbol of Hope ought to provide a stern challenge.
Others to note include Jenever, Brian The Snail and Autumn Angel.

15:10 (Bath) Bussento

Bussento, trained by Eve Johnson Houghton, catches the eye in the Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Restricted Maiden Stakes.

The three-year-old son of Oasis Dream runs for the first time since being gelded and on previous creditable handicap efforts he looks the horse to beat.

16:10 (Bath) Nevendon

Galactic Glow was denied a hat-trick when returning to handicap company over 1m2f at this track last month but, given he is still rated 7lb above his last winning mark, Nevendon can get the better of him today.

Alexandra Dunn's six-year-old was a staying-on second over course and distance last month and can progress further off the same mark.
The consistent Lhebayeb is another to consider.

17:15 (Bath) Haaf A Diamond

This could go the way of the fairly progressive Haaf A Diamond.

She lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot over this distance at Leicester last month and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture, despite a 2lb raised mark.
Perfect Gentleman has to shoulder top-weight following a decent third at Wolverhampton last Friday but is still feared most, ahead of Lunar Landscape.

Bath selections in full:

BATH: 2.40 Delagate This Lord, 3.10 Bussento, 3.40 Manali, 4.10 Nevendon, 4.40 Keeper's Choice, 5.15 Haaf A Diamond.
