Bath Country Race Day, Enough To Drive You Crazy If You Let It! Handicap Stakes

Winless in his last five starts and ranked ninth of ten on our figures, Trooper is hard to fancy at the weights carrying 135 lb, though he has run over today's trip before and 25 days off the track leaves him reasonably fresh.

Basilette caught the eye with a second last time out and a third three starts back, showing consistent ability at this level, and her experience over today's trip and going counts in her favour; the main risk is whether she can convert that placed form into a win off 133 lb.

Consistent enough to post three runner-up finishes in his last five starts, Just Adair has experience of today's going and our rating of 61 marks him as a genuine danger, though he remains winless in recent starts and will need to convert that placed form at last.

Fram Castle arrives here in decent nick, placing third last time out and second two starts back, giving him back-to-back placed efforts heading into this; he has run over today's trip and going before, and at 132 lb the weight is workable for a gelding rated 61 on our figures.

Winless in her last six starts, with a refused among those efforts, Prophet Squeeze faces a stiff ask carrying 129 lb and ranked eighth of ten on our figures; experience over today's going is the one small comfort in an otherwise hard-to-fancy profile.
