Yesterday Connaught Ranger had his second run of the year, finishing ninth of 14 in a Class 5 handicap over one mile at Chepstow, which will help him strip fitter after a long break from racing action. Today John Mountford's Lily Of Year and Chris van Hoorn's Sari Mareis both go to run at Bath, racing at both ends of the evening card where the fine weather has led to firm ground.
