Swindon Designer Outlet Apprentice Handicap (Bath Summer Stayers' Series Qualifier)

Both wins on AW at Southwell (1m6f; from lower marks) and yet to make the breakthrough on turf (0-10); ran creditably at Lingfield (2m AW, fourth of nine, beaten 5l) on penultimate start but took a backward step on turf there (1m6f) subsequently; others preferred.

Resumed winning ways, always doing enough to fend off the odds-on favourite (winner since), in a similar contest at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) latest; 5lb higher and back up in trip, neither of which represent a barrier to further success, but he mightn't want too much rain to fall.

Five-race maiden; continues to ease in the weights (down 2lb) after finishing down the field at Chepstow (1m4f, good; seventh of 11, 20-1) a fortnight ago; stamina reserves untested beyond 1m4f, so enough reasons to oppose.

Bath regular, in the frame seven times at this track; rated 8lb lower than when winning a Class 6 handicap here (1m6f, good; Breccia third) in September 2023; low key at Windsor (1m3f) and Yarmouth (1m6f) this year, so will need to recapture sparkle to make an impact.

Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible.
