Todays Racing Tip – GRANDFATHER TOM
Time & Track – 5.05 Bath (05/09)
Best Odds – 5/1 @ Bet365

Stake – 1pt win

Analysis – Rattled up a hat-trick on the all-weather in the early months of this year and the last of those wins, on handicap debut, came from the same mark of 77 in which he runs off here. He’s ran well since his gelding operation back in June with his best effort coming at Yarmouth when beaten by a half-length in a higher grade, again from this mark. He was then far from disgraced when upped even further in class from a pound higher last time out back on the synthetics and now dropping down into class 5 company from a winning mark should see this three-year old put in a bold showing especially with Eoin Walsh’s 3lb claim taking into consideration.

Result – Lost

Todays Racing Tip – DELIRIUM
Time & Track – 4.00 Bath (05/09)
Best Odds – 4/1 @ Bet365

Stake – 2pt win

Analysis – This filly hadn’t shown connections too much until she was stepped up to 1m2f at Sandown where she won on first attempt and added to that on next outing at that trip when scoring nicely at Chepstow from a 1lb lower mark than she has here. She underperformed the last day when not seeing out 1m4f for the second time and a repeat performance of her close third over C&D under this 5lb-claimer William Cox back in July gives her leading claims as that effort came from a pound higher rating with quick ground essential.

Result – Lost
