Bath and Southwell promise a packed flat day as Sky Sports Racing carries a slate of early‑morning contests. The EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes at Bath pits Dowman against Lady Blanche, both looking to extend debut promise. Down the line, Southwell hosts the Fillies’ Handicap featuring the recent winner Wondrous Light and the outsider Welljudged.

Dowman, trained by Billy Loughnane, finished second over five furlongs on debut, hinting at a step up. Lady Blanche, Karl Burke’s Persian Force daughter, took third as favourite at Beverley, signalling potential for a maiden win. Both runners carry weight in a competitive field that could set the tone for the season ahead.

At Southwell, Wondrous Light, a Jonathan Portman‑trained filly, secured a second career victory by beating Glorious King at Beverley. Her three‑pound rise to a mile seems justified as she drops into a handicap. Welljudged, under Roger Varian, has yet to win but a third at Chelmsford may signal improvement in the race for her future.

Other highlights include Wezzeer and Gold Star Gazing in the Novice Stakes, both showing promise after solid placings at Kempton. The conference field also features Donna Neck and Dream Illusion, who disappointed previously. With Bally’s Silver Wraith opening the Class 5 contest, the day offers a mix of emerging talents and seasoned contenders ready to step up.
