BATH
* Amanda Perrett, who has a 22% strike-rate at the course, saddles Cryptogam in the maiden at 4.45.
* Fortunately bids to complete a hat-trick in the novice stakes at 2.15.
* Compton Banker, who was poorly drawn at Chester last time, in an interesting contender in the classified stakes at 3.45.
*** Left-handed Bath is generally galloping in character, rather than sharp. The finishing straight is on the rise all the way.
WINDSOR
* Shank On Fourteen bids to complete a hat-trick, after impressive wins at Ripon and Thirsk, in the conditions stakes at 7.40.
* John Gosden, who has a 19% strike-rate at the course, saddles both Batashka and Radiant Energy in the maiden at 8.40.
* Border Tale, who runs in the 7.10, won a similar handicap over course and distance last week.
*** Windsor is laid out in a figure-of-eight pattern. The track is rather sharp but there is a five-furlong run-in and the turn into the straight has been eased.
In bocca al lupo! gattos...
Allegria di naufragi
E subito riprende - il viaggio - come - dopo il naufragio - un superstite - lupo di mare (G. Ungaretti)
