      Verdict

      Richard Hannon's Gems Bond, a winner of his only start so far, at Newbury last month, puts his unbeaten record on the line in the opener at Bath. However, the son of Magic Ring has to give weight away to all of his rivals and may not have things all his own way. Chepstow maiden winner Clann A Cougar disappointed on a return visit to the Welsh venue and is probably best watched for the timer, while newcomers Gold Riviera, trained by Martin Pipe, and the Peter Harris-trained Classical Song both warrant respect on their racecourse debuts. It may be though that experience tells here and the TEAMtalk vote goes to Andrew Reid's Willheconquertoo. A veteran of 11 races by comparison to his rivals, the son of Primo Dominie has been keeping better company than this of late and will appreciate the drop in grade.
