    Limited performer who has won twice at this track from just four runs and has also won at today's trip. Recent form shows two wins in the last six starts yet she remains modest at this level overall. Trainer holds a strong 20% strike-rate at Bath while the 5lb claimer is a positive.

    Form 141027 · Tony Carroll · Rossa Ryan

    Modest performer who has been in and out of form this year and is drawn wide in stall 14.

    Form 126954 · Grace Harris · Ashley Lewis(3)

    Savannah Smiles is a modest performer who has run 50 times in the last year and showed mixed form with a latest sequence of 126954.
