Fantasy Justifier (6/4), Prominna (3/1), Jaganory (7/2), David's Beauty (9/2), Ask The Guru (5/1), John Joiner (11/2), Angelito (7/1), Evening Starlight (11/1), Archie Stevens (14/1), Malaysian Boleh (14/1), Secret Asset (20/1), Molly Jones (25/1), Your Gifted (25/1), Blackadder (66/1)

Verdict

Angelito represents solid each-way value in this company and Bath is certainly his favourite track. David's Beauty caught the eye last time out after losing a little ground at the start and she could bustle them up, while Ask The Guru could not be in better shape, arriving here in search of a hat-trick following back-to-back wins. The selection, however, goes to FANTASY JUSTIFIER. Caught close home over 6f last time, the drop back to 5f should suit and he can get his head in front. John Joiner, Jaganory and Prominna are others with claims in a wide-open sprint.
  1. Fantasy Justifier
  2. David's Beauty
  3. John Joiner
