Swiped looks to secure a second consecutive victory at Bath as Sky Sports Racing highlights racing from Bath and Worcester

We have action from Bath and Worcester on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports Racing…

8.18 Bath – Swiped seeks another success

Recent course‑and‑distance winner Swiped is set to bid for back‑to‑back wins in the Free Tips On attheraces.com Handicap at Bath.

Trained by Ralph Beckett, the three‑year‑old impressed with a convincing mile‑and‑a‑half triumph on his handicap debut and is expected to continue improving.

Post Rider leads the weights for the connections of Oliver Cole and Lewis Edmunds. The filly posted a credible third at Goodwood on soft ground and gains favour after a further 2 lb weight reduction. Naval Ensign makes her second appearance for trainer Nikki Evans, while Sant Alessio and Aaaah are also worth watching.

1.20 Worcester – Recent winner Quick Sharpener faces 10 rivals

Quick Sharpener, fresh from a recent win, takes on ten opponents in the competitive Perrigo Consultant Tax Saving Handicap Chase that opens the Worcester card.

Jamie Snowden’s nine‑year‑old gelding doubled his fences record with success at Hereford in May on his first start for the connections, suggesting there is plenty of improvement potential.

Yes Day finished second to future Summer Cup winner Imperial Alex at Stratford, and that form warrants consideration in this similar contest. Pike Road returns to larger obstacles, while I Am The Moon, beaten as favourite at Uttoxeter, will need to bounce back.

2.20 Worcester – Neigh Botha and Greer Hill feature

In‑form competitors Neigh Botha and Greer Hill headline a ten‑runner field for the Worcestershire Ambassadors Handicap Chase.

Neigh Botha secured his third win in four starts with a career‑best effort over fences and remains a strong contender if he repeats that form. Greer Hill, runner‑up in his solitary point‑to‑point, made a successful chasing debut over this course and distance last month and could progress further under Jennie Candlish.

Turpin Gold showed promise on his fences debut and, despite being hampered near the finish, his form may warrant a re‑evaluation.

Best of the rest

7.08 Bath – Neptune Legend bids for a hat‑trick; he now has ten career wins.

6.33 Bath – Fair novice for two‑year‑olds.

2.50 Worcester – Interesting maiden hurdle with Trouville and Versatile headlining.

Sha Tin – Zac Purton in action.
