Idle Curiosity and Chester'slittlegem were both engaged to run at Bath yesterday. RENOIR'S LADY may prove too good for then anyway as she was beaten only a length at Salisbury last time and this looks an easier task. Joseph Tuite's mare gets the vote as Volito finished third at this track on his latest outing without threatening to get his head in front. Pharoh Jake and Imjin River are winners on the all-weather but have yet to score on Turf in numerous attempts.
