2:40 Bath: Loud Hire Nursery Handicap Stakes

Amethyst Star Callum Hutchinson · Eve Johnson Houghton

Winless in her last three starts, Amethyst Star at least has experience over today's trip, though carrying 135 lb from stall 11 and a run of modest efforts make this a tough ask for a filly rated just 65 officially.

Secret Flite Ashley Lewis(3) · Tom Ward

Yet to score in her last three starts, and a trainer without a winner in 20 attempts over the past fortnight is a concern, Secret Flite does return after a 30-day break with distance experience to call on, though an official rating of 64 against an 8-of-11 ranking leaves her facing a stiff ask.

Q T Boy Marco Ghiani · David Evans

Twice placed in recent starts, Q T Boy is winless in his last four but brings solid each-way claims here, having run over today's trip and going, and draws stall two carrying 130 lb; the risk is that a win has so far proved elusive.

Magical Life Taylor Fisher · J S Moore

Magical Life shaped well when third last time out and boasts a win three starts back, with experience over today's trip and going adding confidence; the main query is whether she can build on that progression from stall one carrying 128 lb.

Gravastar Alec Voikhansky · Richard Hannon

Gravastar has run over today's trip before but is winless in her last four starts, with a ninth last time out her most recent contribution, and a trainer strike-rate of just 4% over the past fortnight does little to inspire confidence at this level.

Dark Reign Sean D Bowen · Richard Hannon

Winless in her last three starts, with a fourth last time out and a ninth three starts back, Dark Reign has run over today's trip but faces this from a yard in poor nick at just 4% over the past fortnight.

Goblet Jack Callan · Hughie Morrison

Winless in her last four starts and ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, Goblet faces a stiff ask here, though she has run over today's trip before and returns on a handy 17-day break.

Clear Horizon Olivia Tubb(5) · Jonathan Portman

Clear Horizon has run over today's trip and going, rates 16 lb ahead of her official mark on our figures, and 27 days between runs suggests she returns fresh; the main risk is that she has been winless in her last five starts.

Zonneveld Luke Morris · J S Moore

Winless in his last four starts and ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, Zonneveld is hard to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and a return after just 15 days; the weight of 121 lb from stall five is simply the context here, not a reason to upgrade him.

Allaboutthelunch Isobelle Chalmers(7) · Edward Smyth-Osbourne

Winless in his last five starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Allaboutthelunch faces a stiff ask here; he has run over today's trip and returns on a quick turnaround of 17 days, but the consistent string of mid-field and rear finishes makes him hard to fancy.
