Bath Race 4 - Blackmore Build Supporting MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Handicap
JUST A GAMBLER (2) rates on top dropping back to 1m after a Chelmsford win over 1609m in March and a solid 3rd at Kempton over 1609m, with blinkers on. FOOTHOLD (4) appeals as the main danger after near-miss seconds at Lingfield over 1610m and 1409m this year, and wasn’t disgraced when 4th here over 1609m last month. HALLA BIL ZAIN (1) has past placings at 7f–1m but needs to rebound from a heavy defeat here over 1609m latest.
