Bath Race 4 - British Ebf Future Stayers' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
DIVIDE AND CONQUER (5) Right in the mix last start at Ascot and was on debut last time. Always seems to find the line well. Has a good draw. Will give a big sight. POLITICAL RESIDENT (4) 2yo debutant by New Bay for Andrew M Balding & England Balding. Market as guide. NEXT BEST (6) Career debut 2yo by New Bay for Eve Johnson Houghton. Watch the market. AL QAYED (1) Good result placing 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last time at Goodwood. Has plenty of early speed. Have to respect the recent William J Haggas & England Haggas form. Genuine threat.

Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last time at Goodwood. Should be going forward early. Strong prospects in this race.

Might have to make up considerable ground. Having second career run. Can save some energy from the draw. This won't be easy.

Racing on a quick back up. Jumped at $81.00 and subpar when 9th last time at Leicester but was a debutant last start. Risky betting proposition.

Was agonizingly close last start at Ascot and having second race start. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Expected to be competitive.

New Bay 2yo having first race appearance for Eve Johnson Houghton. Watch for a sign in the market.
