1. 1Ground Force KTB Selection58/100

   Form 09721 · James Owen · David Probert

   Family: half-brother to Gesayed (1 win from 5 runs). The dam has had 3 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

   Ground Force is a modest performer who produced his best effort when winning a nursery at Kempton last time out. He now steps up to a mile for the first time, which poses a fresh question, and the heavy ground is unknown with only five runs on his record. James Owen has a 17% strike rate at Bath from 30 runs, in line with his record elsewhere, while David Probert rides with a 13% strike rate at the track from 670 rides. As a half-brother to Gesayed, who won once from five starts, with the dam having produced three other runners including one winner, he holds the KTB Selection tag. His prominent run-style, racing handily on or close to the lead, should see him well placed in what is expected to be a genuinely-run race.

2. 2Kaito57/100

   Form 74761 · George Boughey · Jack Callan

   Family: half-brother to Boiling Point, a Listed winner (4 wins from 21 runs). The dam has had 4 other runners, 3 of them winners.

   Kaito is another modest performer who won here over this trip on his previous start and now carries an official rating of 63. His recent form reads 74761 and he is a half-brother to Listed winner Boiling Point, with the dam having produced four other runners including three winners. Dropping in class, he has already shown his liking for the track with one win from one visit. George Boughey operates at a 22% strike rate at Bath from 89 runs, in line with his overall record, and Jack Callan takes the ride with a 12% strike rate at the venue from 43 rides. Like most of his rivals he remains unproven on heavy ground. His prominent run-style should put him prominently placed from draw 3 in a race that is set to be run at a genuine pace.

3. 3Q T Boy48/100

   Form 074216 · David Evans · William Carson

   Family: half-brother to Q T Pie (1 win from 10 runs). The dam has had 1 other runner, a winner.

   Q T Boy is a modest performer who has already won over this trip and at this track from his one visit. His recent form has been patchy yet he did land a similar race here in August, and dropping in class looks a positive. The yard's Bath record is in line with their overall strike rate, though both trainer and jockey have relatively modest figures at the venue. Trip and track appear to suit, but the heavy ground remains an unknown with only six runs on his record. As a half-brother to Q T Pie, who won once from ten starts, with the dam having produced one other winner, he holds place claims if the surface does not prove too testing. His prominent run-style from draw 4 should keep him involved early.

4. 4Pirates Paradise47/100

   Form 577 · George Scott · Darragh Keenan

   Family: half-brother to Lethal Promise, a Listed winner (3 wins from 11 runs). The dam has had 5 other runners, 5 of them winners.

   Pirates Paradise is a limited performer who has shown little in three runs to date. He steps up to a mile for the first time today while wearing first-time headgear. A half-brother to Listed winner Lethal Promise, with the dam having produced five other runners all of whom are winners, there is some pedigree appeal. Dropping in class, he remains hard to fancy on what he has shown so far. George Scott has a strong 25% strike rate at Bath from 40 runs while Darragh Keenan partners him with a 9% strike rate at the track from 108 rides. His held-up run-style means he will be produced late, which could be a challenge if the race develops into a strong pace on testing ground.

5. 5Singing Blues36/100

   Form 605 · Tom Ward · Kieran Shoemark

   Family: half-sister to Fast Society (2 wins from 6 runs). The dam has had 2 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

   Singing Blues is a modest performer who has shown little in three starts to date. She has twice failed to make the frame at this trip, dropping in class, and the yard's modest 4% strike rate at Bath is in line with their record elsewhere. A half-sister to dual winner Fast Society, with the dam having produced two other runners including one winner, the small amount of data leaves her prospects unclear.

6. 6Allaboutthelunch36/100

   Form 995820 · Edward Smyth-Osbourne · Kieran O'Neill

   Family: half-brother to Bill Silvers (1 win from 22 runs). The dam has had 2 other runners, 2 of them winners.

   Allaboutthelunch is a limited performer who has shown a bit of ability on heavy ground at this trip, finishing second of eight here last time out. Recent form has been patchy with a string of lesser efforts before that placed run, and his official rating of 45 reflects modest ability overall. The trainer has only four runs at Bath so far while the jockey's record at the track stands at 10%. A half-brother to Bill Silvers, who won once from 22 starts, with the dam having produced two other runners who are both winners.

7. 7Time Glory36/100

   Form 436924 · Bernard Llewellyn · Charlie Tucker(7)

   Time Glory is a modest performer who has shown ordinary form in six starts at up to 7.5f this year. He steps up to 1m for the first time today having failed to trouble the judge on his only previous run at the trip. Dropping in class, the trainer's 5% strike rate at Bath from 235 runs is in line with his record elsewhere while the 7 lb claimer has no established record at the track.

8. 8Divine Concerto34/100

   Form 988 · Dylan Cunha · Connor Planas

   Family: half-sister to Baker Blue (3 wins from 20 runs). The dam has had 1 other runner, a winner.

   Divine Concerto has shown little in three starts to date and carries a limited official rating of 46. He steps up to 1m for the first time today having been well held over shorter, while the heavy ground remains an unknown with only three runs on the board. Dropping in class, the trainer's 3% strike rate at Bath is in line with his record elsewhere. His front-running style means he is likely to set the pace in what should be a genuinely-run race.
