Bath Race 5 - Fairplaybet.co.uk Bet 20 Get 20 Free Bets Handicap

MY AMBITION (6) is a former course and distance winner who returned from an absence finishing runner up at Lingfield Park during March. Anticipated to take a big step forward fitness wise and may give a bold show. SIGNCASTLE CITY (2) finished 5L tenth at Southwell earlier in the month and now switches back to turf where four of his five wins have been achieved. Holds every chance for a stable in form. DARVEL (1) was well held here on return to action during Easter and needs to bounce back from that poor showing. MAGICAL MERLIN (3) now adopts a tongue strap with the cheekpieces and market could guide.

Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on April 28 over 1600m, 6 len behind Calanthe carrying 60.5kg at $21. Fitter but happy to bet around this time.

Most recently raced on the pace before fading 10th of 13 at Southwell All Weather on April 7 over 1600m, 5 len behind Studious carrying 59kg at $7. Before that 4th of 7 at Chelmsford on March 12 over 1600m, 6 len behind Lexington Jet carrying 58.5kg at $6. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
