Verdict

Jolly Ranch won twice over the minimum trip at Bath last year but she hasn't raced since September so ROYAL BAJAN makes more appeal. He has a penalty for last week's victory over C&D but such was his superiority that James Given's sprinter is taken to go in again and confirm running with the luckless Even Bolder, Welsh Inlet and Sherjawy in the process. Novabridge has done all his winning on turf so far but is still preferred to C&D winner Jimmy Ryan and Liberal Lady, a recent runner-up over 6f.
