Expect Mimikyu to bounce back at Bath

Mimikyu can take advantage of a drop in class by winning the British Stallion Studs EBF Beckford Stakes at Bath on Wednesday.

John and Thady Gosden's filly was last seen finishing a slightly unlucky fifth behind Sea Silk Road in the Group One Prix de Royallieu at ParisLongchamp.

The four-year-old has yet to hit the target this term, but should find Listed-level company far more conducive here and is fancied to secure a confidence-boosting success.

Last season's three victories began with a game defeat of the useful Time Lock at Haydock and ended with Group Two glory in the Park Hill at Doncaster.

Mimikyu kicked off this year with a short-head second to River Of Stars at York and was then placed in the Lancashire Oaks.

The Gosdens gave her a little break following a below-par Goodwood effort and this is now by far her best chance of 2023 to return to winning ways, especially as she is proven at 2800m on an easy surface.

Rawaasi can also end a frustrating run in the Vickers.Bet EBF Novice Stakes over 1000m.

The daughter of Blue Point has performed with credit several times over slightly longer, each time being prominent early on before just finding one or two too strong in the latter stages.

Simon and Ed Crisford have opted for a drop down to the minimum trip and the two-year-old filly gets the nod to last home this time.

Mr Alan made a respectable return from 265 days on the sidelines when sixth at Ayr last month, only faltering inside the final 200m and should strip fitter for the Watch Irish Racing On Racing TV Handicap at Nottingham.

George Boughey's charge took in a trip to the Scottish track prior to winning this same race 12 months ago on soft ground, before running well to finish fifth of 21 in Doncaster's November Handicap on heavy.

Rhubarb kept on well to oblige in tough conditions at this venue recently and remains nicely treated in the Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap on her old form, despite a 1.5kg uplift.

Ezra Cee can confirm the promise of his debut third behind two useful-looking types at Newmarket when reappearing in Kempton's Unibet More Extra Place Races Restricted Novice Stakes.

Peter Chapple-Hyam's two-year-old son of No Nay Never was bang in contention 200m from home that day and is expected to relish a drop down in distance, both on his display at headquarters and breeding-wise.

Over the jumps at Wetherby, Karl Philippe catches the eye on his seasonal debut in the Bobby Renton Handicap Chase.

Fergal O'Brien's eight-year-old finished off last term being well beaten on tough assignments at Cheltenham and Aintree but has since had a little bit of help from the handicapper and has form figures of 1-1-2-1 when first time out. - Press Association
