We have probably has better days at Bath than yesterday; Conquest of Power, who works better than he ran yesterday (witness him working with the 65 rated year older Twilight Revenge here); he will be sharper on leaving the stalls next time and hopefully he will have a draw such that he has either horses or a rail on his nearside when he bangs out to mitigate him going lefthanded as he did yesterday.

In a grade two higher than when she won last year Willingly showed decent speed before a lack of a run and the better class got the better of her in the last furlong; she might need another run but keep an eye out for her in a Class Six jobbie as we get into the Summer.

Liberty Bay defo gave the impression that, as she has matured, five furlongs on good ground going downhill for three furlongs is now on the sharp side for her; she got outpaced one and a half out before keeping on on the rise to the line, beaten just over three lengths; going back up to six would seem to be the right approach.

Sid's Annie, ex a bit of a break, goes to Nottingham tomorrow afternoon under David; more of her tomorrow.

Two other bits of news; the 'Horseman's Group' has undergo a rebrand (personally think it is a shame they didn't employ Redactive to undertake it)
