Bath Race 4 - British Ebf Future Stayers' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
DIVIDE AND CONQUER (5) was met with strong support on debut at Ascot attempting a 1600m maiden four weeks ago before missing by a neck finishing runner-up. Open to plenty of improvement providing this second start and hard to beat. AL QAYED (1) disappointed on debut. Managed to take a minor step forward on soft ground at Goodwood last time. Warrants thought progressing after both runs. Cannot be dismissed with Tom Marquand taking over. POLITICAL RESIDENT (4) is debuting representing a top stable. Fabulous Denford Stud pedigree and wears a hood. Deserves a market check. NEXT BEST (6) also has a nice pedigree and a bright future is likely.

Third race start today. At debut, ran last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on August 15 over 1600m, 11 len behind Bin Jahwar with 60.5kg at $9. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Goodwood on September 8 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Quicken Away carrying 60.5kg at $23. Top chance on his best efforts.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on August 20 over 1600m, 116 len behind One Number with 60.5kg at $126. Out of his depth again.

Was well-supported at debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Ascot on September 4 over 1600m, neck behind Clarity with 58kg at $3.50. Better for that experience and can open her account.
