2:25 Bath Tips

Rejjien looks ready to get off the mark in this 1m nursery. She's been getting close in similar races and was a neck second over course and distance on soft ground last month. She now returns to Bath off a workable mark with cheekpieces fitted and Rossa Ryan booked, both look like positives in today's modest field. Her proven course and distance stamina set the standard.

A race, in all fairness, won't take much winning, and I'm drawn to OH WEST VIRGINIA, who admittedly has shown very little in 4 starts. But he steps into handicap company off a lowly mark and steps up markedly in trip. In two of his first three starts, he went off at shorter odds than you would expect, being near the top end of the market. He ran no sort of race at Chester (wouldn't be the first horse to bomb out there). Blinkers are ditched. It could well be that a change of stable may bring about improvement, plus the step up in trip. I envisaged around 25/1, so at 40/1, I feel I'm getting value. Bigger on exchanges and 4 places up for grabs might cause an upset.
