Bath on Firm ground and will small fields, what will they think of next? All joking aside, it is pretty disappointing but every race will still need a winner, and although I have shied clear of the Sir Mark Prescott horses for most of the season, he had a big race winner last week, and looks back to his old tricks ahead of the opener at 1.30pm. Step forward Gordons Aura, who looks a standard Prescott plot after three races over inadequate distances as a juvenile to get his opening handicap mark ahead of more of a stamina test. He was last seen coming home seventh over the mile at Lingfield alst November and he sneaks in here off a lowly mark of 66, suggesting the market may well be a better guide to his realistic chances.
