BATH RACES Selection 7th September

BATH 4.40 STAMFORD BLUE 1 pt E/W @ 25/1 (Gen)


Stamford Blue will be overlooked by many as Ron Harris has been struggling for winners. His last 5 runs have been when apprentice ridden, winning the 1st of them on good ground at Lingfield.
Found the 6lb penalty for that previous win his undoing when beaten by Solemn at Chepstow next time out, but meets him on 9lb better today for that length deficit.
His last win at this track was when partnered by today's jockey off top weight in this grade, so looks well in off 8Stone 8lb getting weight from his rivals off an 11lb lower mark.
His run here last season, again off top weight (10 St) he went down a length in a class4 off a mark of 80 reads well for his chances in this, as he went close a few seasons back in Class3 handicaps off 24lb higher than today when regularly ridden by this jockey, and has won off 17lb higher than today.
Looks thrown in against Kyllachy Storm (currently 7/1), when again off top weight in a apprentice race he was giving him 19lb here last August and gets 10lb from him today so worthy of a wager on that alone.

Capable of winning this off this mark, but given the form of the stable in recent weeks an E/W @ 25/1 the suggestion.
