Bath 3:15 Result

Boilermaker's form figures 423211 show rapid progress and he's won his last two starts, clearly on a sharp upward curve for a powerful Charlton yard. At just 3yo carrying weight for age concessions relative to the older rivals, with OR 74 (near the top of the field) and still fresh with minimal mileage, he looks the type to progress further. Luke Morris takes over and the booking suggests confidence. Stamina test at 1m6f looks fine given his class and the way he's grinding out wins. Taritino (OR75, 211446) is the obvious favourite type and has solid recent form, but has had a good campaign already and drops slightly in form the last couple of starts (44, 6) after early wins - some petering out under this longer trip/weight burden could be a concern, and he's already proven what he can do. Curran has useful figures but the 0 in his last run is a worry and he's already had a break. Belle Of Kt strung together three wins but faded to 3rd last time and is now stepping up in class/grade for this valuable final. Boilermaker's trajectory, lightly-raced scope, and the booking of a strong senior jockey make him the value angle over the more exposed, senior-aged rivals who look to have shown most of what they can offer already.
