Bath Race 7 - Signs Express Proudly Support Bath Racecourse Handicap
TAKEITORLEAVEIT (5) was narrow winner wearing first time cheekpieces here in September. Struggled on the final start of last season. Returns on better ground and the stable have made a good start to the season. ZOUSTELLAR (2) was successful on turf debut at Yarmouth two weeks ago adopting cheekpieces. Open to any amount of improvement. ARVANA BELLE (6) steps up to 1600m for the first time having stayed on at Brighton delivering final start last year. Might improve further tackling this new trip. BERYL'S GIRL (4) goes handicapping for the first time. Wasn't disgraced providing her sole outing trying 1600m here in September. Market check needed.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Great Yarmouth April 11 over 1600m defeating Slack Bob carrying 55.5kg at $12. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Wolverhampton on April 4 over 1700m, 2.5 len behind Karakula Dancer carrying 60kg at $5. Looks hard to beat again.
