Course form counts for plenty at Bath so we are with Harrisons Flyer versus Prince Of Delphi and Misaro. It does take something of a leap of faith to be with Harrisons Flyer but he ran a solid enough race at Nottingham on his most recent start and in a race where few are in form, he appears value. Prince Of Delphi drops back in trip for that elusive first success. This seems a bold move from Ralph Beckett and Seb Sanders is booked. Misaro needs no introduction to followers of low grade sprints and he is sure to run his race. Buy On The Red is capable but difficult to win with. Pic Up Sticks has proved a real moneyspinner and is one to note in the event of market support. Bold Argument received a nice confidence booster when obliging over six furlongs at Nottingham. Jucebabe handles fast ground but has usually needed her first run in previous seasons. Caustic Wit is perfectly capable but has not troubled the judge this term. Game Lady is yet to win on turf. Harrisons Flyer is hardly bombproof as selections go but we should see a run for our money at a track that he likes.
