Verdict
Red Gunner is back on a winning mark and has been in the mix at Bath recently. He makes more appeal than Lady Of York, who scored over track and trip when last at this venue in June. Winter Snowdrop opened her account with a victory at Yarmouth last month and can go well again but FAIR MAN has the most scope. The latter has placed in both outings in handicaps so far, including when third over track and trip last week with the runner-up boosting the form subsequently.
