Verdict

If ever a horse was bred to win at Bath then surely BEQUEST has to fit the bill being a daughter of course specialist Bandanna who also raced in these colours. Her handicap debut suggested there was a race to be won with her off her current mark and she had a couple of these behind including Devils Roc. Jonathan Portman's filly was making her seasonal reappearance and is 1lb better off, but she has looked weak in a finish and may come off second best again. Kadiz and Man Of The Sea are two to watch in the market, whilst Bluebell Time represents a yard that do well here but an 8lb rise for a flattering effort last time seems harsh. Easy Windsor winner Ever Rock may prove a bigger danger.
