Tip for this race
All today's tips ›An Outlaw's Grace gets the nod at Bath, heading the field on our ratings at 78, though only narrowly, as Silver Wraith is just two pounds behind on 76. This is a tight and open-looking five-furlong contest on good ground, so the advantage is slim rather than decisive. Silver Wraith is the chief danger, with Adalida and Moe's Legacy both on 75 and close enough to turn it around on a given day. With confidence low, this is a narrow call, but An Outlaw's Grace is the best-rated runner and is the one we want on side.

Charles Bishop
Emma Lavelle 2/12
Winner last time out and fresh after 20 days, Silver Wraith has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 76 ranks her second of ten, making her a leading threat from stall nine. The one concern is the 135 lb she carries, with her earlier form patchy.

Moe's Legacy is a threat after winning two starts back and returning just 11 days after her last run, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is an eighth last time out, which leaves her to prove that was a blip from stall six.

Charlie Tucker (7)
Rod Millman 2/15
Safari Dream won twice in his last six, a first three starts back and another four back, but he has faded to a fifth and then an eighth last time out. He has run over today's trip and going, though 135 lb from draw 4 makes this a midfield-looking assignment.

Adalida arrives consistent, with a win five starts back and a third two starts back, and she's fit after 21 days off, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 75 ranks her third of ten, though the main risk is a fifth last time out and a hefty 131 lb.

Robert Cowell 1/10
London Is Blue is winless in his last five, with a fifth last time out after a second two starts back, and 48 days off the track adds a fitness question. He has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 131 lb from stall five, he is hard to fancy at ninth of ten on our figures.

Fit after just 12 days off, An Outlaw's Grace has run over today's trip and on the going, and his second four starts back shows he can go close. He is yet to win in his last six, but our rating of 78 tops the field and sits well clear of his official 70.

Over Spiced is winless in her last six, though she was second three times in that spell before a sixth last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going. Ranked eighth of ten on our figures and carrying 128 lb from stall 7, she is hard to fancy.

Level Up has won twice in his last six starts, a first three starts back and another six back, but he has finished sixth and eighth since, and he has run over today's trip and going. Fresh enough after 20 days off, he carries 128 lb from stall 8, and our rating of 74 only ranks him sixth of ten.

Carefree Dream arrives fresh from a third last time out, 11 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but she is winless in her last six and carries 126 lb off an official 66 from stall 2. Our rating of 71 puts her seventh of ten.

Tony Carroll 2/37
Emporess has been unplaced last time out and in three of her last four, with a fifth two starts back her best effort since a win five starts back, and a stable cold at 2/37 doesn't help. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and going, and is back quickly after 11 days; our rating of 65 still ranks her last of ten.
