Pre-race Summary
 
The 2003-2004 results are at the bottom of the page for comparison
MAY  15th SUMMING UP
  • A typical race in prospect with none of the runners likely to be useful or better but a competitive heat. 
  • The two previous winners - Lord Jack Flash & Grimes Faith are both front runners and are likely to get hooked up together here. Lord Jack Flash has shown better form and kept on better in his races. He has his extra 5lb penalty nullified by his acceptable apprentice.
  • The filly Just Down The Road made a good debut in a slowish race here on soft ground. She finished fourth behind three good early season 2yos but may not show great improvement because her trainer has his 2yos well forward on debut. However, in receipt of weight she has the best chance of picking up the previous winners later in the race.
  • RACE QUALITY: 
  • The actual performances required to win have varied hugely in the last three years from 50-88. In 2004 the later Group winner Tournedos was a non runner, along with the Hannon 2yo. This led to a weak race.
  • In 2003 the later Listed race winner Fortunately (previously a seller winner) was beaten in an average race.
  • 2002 included later Group winners Never A Doubt & Hurricane Alan who fought out the finish.
  • TRAINERS: 
  • R Hannon has had at least one intended runner in the last three years. The last two have been average early season winners who were beaten and only won once in the season. In 2002 he ran Hurricane Alan (placed in a Group 1 two days ago) STO after he had been beaten in a Nottingham Maiden. He beat later Group 2 winner Never A Doubt after she ran too freely.
  • SIRES:
  • First season sires  Carrowkeel (Bathwick Rox) & Primo Valentino (Safari Mischief) have runners.
  • Woodborough has two runners who were both early season 5f winners for owner breeders (Lord Jack Flash & Grimes Faith).
  • SALES REVIEWS:
  • Safari Mischief  rated 64.
  • Scroll rated 63 and a less obvious '2yo' than Safari Mischief.

  • Bath 5f Novice: Race Results from 2003 and 2004
    Note 1: Horse with * denotes a winner later in the season.
