Little Jaybee

LITTLE JAYBEE has finished ahead of three horses in her last three runs that have all won since, one of them twice. She is up 3lb for winning, but this field is weaker than usual and her form can cope.

Bath Draw Bias

flat races since 17 Apr

No part of the draw wins more than its share of runners by enough to rule out chance, at any trip. Over 184 races, where a horse is drawn here has mattered less than it is often given credit for.

Low 35.6%
Middle 33.7%

On good or faster ground

5f to 6f93 races
Low 34.6%
Middle 30.9%
High 34.6%

Not enough races yet on good or faster ground over 7f to a mile, 9f to 11f, 1m 4f and further.

On good to soft or softer ground: no trip here has the 60 races we need yet, so we do not show it. This fills in as the record grows.

Stalls are split into low, middle and high thirds within each race. Each bar is that third's share of the winners and the tick is its share of the runners, so a bar past its tick is winning more than its share. We only call a bias when the gap is at least 15% of that share and two standard deviations clear of chance.

Bath Track Guide

Bath is a left-handed oval of 1 mile 4 furlongs and 25 yards with a run-in of nearly half a mile.

The home straight is four furlongs with a steady rise and turn.

At 780 feet it is Britain's highest flat racecourse, with no watering facility, so the going can become very firm in a dry summer.
