12:55 Bath Tips

Takeitorleaveit ran a tidy race last time, winning over this C&D by a neck in new cheekpieces off 53. Suited by 8f and soft ground, he is likely to race close to the pace and finish strongly. With Rob Hornby on and Portman in form, he looks capable of another solid showing here.

I thought the horse made heavy weather of winning at Leicester, although it was described as staying on nicely. Drifting here and carrying a penalty, along with the favorite, one of the lower order horses could easily chin the main two. But Clive Cox's stable form has not been at its best, and the progress shown by this one suggests more to come.

Has shown little in three maidens but all at much higher levels, including Newmarket last time. Now makes handicap debut off a lenient-looking mark of 57 for the in-form Charles Hills yard. Steps up to a mile which should suit on breeding and could show marked improvement now dropped in grade. Definite potential improver at fair odds.

Clearly possesses the strongest and most consistent form in this field. The form figures of ...124384 stand out significantly. The win ('1') and subsequent places ('2', '4', '3') show a level of ability the others lack. Even the recent '8' and '4' are respectable in this company. Looks the one to beat. Strong player.

Time For Action ran an improved race when second here last time and looks to be learning fast. Up to 51 now but remains unexposed and clearly handles soft ground and this 8f trip well. With a handy weight and positive running style, she should sit close to the pace and could go one better if finding a little extra in the finish. Each way chance.

Gullane Girl looks great value here. Won a nursery at Salisbury in August. Disappointing last time out but can bounce back with first-time visor.
