Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Nogo's Dream shares the top rating in this 13-runner Bath sprint with Born Slippy, and we prefer him on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that should count on the heavy ground over six furlongs. Born Slippy is the chief danger on an identical figure, while Perfect Location, five pounds below our pick, and Mumayaz, six behind, complete the principal threats. Nogo's Dream looks the sharper and more improvable of the two at the head of the list, so he is our selection.

Brian Toomey 2/5
Burdett Estate has slipped since a win five starts back, with a ninth and a seventh before an unplaced run last time, and our figures rank him 11th of 13. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip, and a 38-day break gives him a fresh look from stall 13.

Born Slippy tops our ratings at 82 and has run over today's trip, but he's been winless in his last five, with a third four starts back the best of it. The main risk is a seventh last time out and a 51-day break.

Grace Harris 2/10
Won last time out and only ten days ago, so she arrives fit, with a second and a second also in her last six runs, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 136 lb from stall three, she's ranked seventh of 13 by our rating of 73, which suggests a solid but unspectacular chance.

Maharajas Express has won twice in his last six, including two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, but he was eighth last time out, 30 days ago, and the yard is cold at 1/23 in the last fortnight. Our rating of 75 ranks him fifth of 13 under 135 lb from stall seven.

Nogo's Dream was second last time out and has been in the frame in two of his last six, having also finished a second four starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. Fresh after 31 days, he is yet to win but our figures rate him second of 13.

Mumayaz arrives a last-time-out winner and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 76 ranks him fourth of 13, so he looks a leading threat from stall six. The one concern is a stable cold at 1 from 35 over the last 14 days, with 132 lb to carry.

Kieran Shoemark
Tom Ward 0/9
Perfect Location showed she can win with a victory four starts back, and she's had a fairly fresh 22 days since her last run, having run over today's trip before. Our rating of 77 sits well above her official 70, though a sixth and a fifth since that win, then an unplaced last time, is the worry.

Ollie Sangster 1/23
Musical Soldier arrives in cracking recent form, second last time out and second two starts back after three straight wins before that, and he has run over today's trip. Against that, 50 days off and a yard cold at 1/24 temper the case, while carrying 131 lb from draw 11.

Kiss And Run has finished sixth, seventh and sixth in her last three, though she did win four starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Fresh enough after 21 days, but she carries 130 lb from stall 10, and our rating of 73 ranks her sixth of 13.

Adrian Wintle 1/10
Gelato has finished fifth in both her last two outings, and a break of 55 days raises fitness questions, so she is hard to fancy; on the plus side, she won three starts back and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating ranks her tenth of 13.

Punchbowl Flyer has finished fifth, fourth, seventh and sixth in his last four runs since winning twice earlier in the sequence, so the trend is going the wrong way. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him 12th of 13 from stall 12.

Pedros Dream filled the runner-up spot twice in a row, a second last time out and another two starts back, yet he is yet to win in his last five and our figures rank him 13th of 13. A yard struggling at 1/35 and a 21-day break do little to help his cause, though he has run over today's trip.
