Today on Sky Sports Racing: Supplicate faces Madrisa in Bath showdown
2.43 Bath - Supplicate and Madrisa lock horns
Exciting three-year-olds Supplicate and Madrisa feature in a quality line-up for the Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes.
Roger Varian fields Supplicate who, having finished fifth on debut, justified odds-on favouritism at Lingfield next time and the step up to 10 furlongs ought to suit.
The William Haggas-trained Madrisa knuckled down well to make a winning start at Lingfield last month and given natural progression she could go close on this turf debut in the Cheveley Park colours. The trainer is also on a positive run of form, boasting a 26 per cent strike-rate over the last fortnight.

- Appleby 'delighted' with Notable Speech after Lockinge triumph
Eloquencia has shown promise on both starts to date, chasing home the useful Brilliant Star at Kempton 16 days ago and a similar effort would see the daughter of Sea The Stars in the mix under Luke Morris. Clarissa Eclipse disappointed when fourth on debut at Yarmouth but could improve stepped slightly down in trip for David Simcock.
5.32 Worcester - Melton Mossy and Karnaval Point bid to follow up
Last-time winners Melton Mossy and Karnaval Point clash in a competitive edition of the Safer Gambling At Copybet Handicap Chase at Worcester.
Melton Mossy represents Cath Williams and Conor Ring, arriving in good heart after a cosy success at Wincanton. The form does not look the strongest but a 3lb penalty should not stop him being involved.
Karnaval Point, a three-time winner in France, makes his UK debut for David Pipe and rates a fascinating contender under Rian Corcoran.
Others to consider include Uttoxeter runner-up Jet Smart, while Fine Casting and Lermoos Legend look each-way players.
3.18 Bath - Wathnan two-year-old Flight Signal debuts
Flight Signal bids to book his Royal Ascot ticket as he debuts in the British EBF Novice Stakes at Bath.
Archie Watson landed this race with Aesterius in 2024 but suffered an odds-on reverse with Fortification last season and Flight Signal looks to have strong claims here. A £180,000 purchase at the Goffs Breeze-Ups in April, the market should be a guide to his chances.
Clive Cox saddles Jaan Ki Tukri who built on his debut third to chase home Napa in a warm Newmarket novice last time. That form has been franked since and he might put his experience to good use.
Paper View rates the best of the rest but could be one to follow in handicaps after this qualifying run. Minkaas and On The Queue Tee complete the quintet for TJ Kent and Stan Moore respectively.
Best of the rest
Andre Fabre is represented in Saint-Cloud's Prix Pot au Feu (1.53pm) by Overnight - who holds an entry for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. This son of Night Of Thunder chased home Wiki over a similar distance here on debut and should go one better under Maxime Guyon.
Brosna, a Dubawi filly out of the Juddmonte-owned Fount (Frankel), goes to post for Andre Fabre in the Prix Timandra (2.28pm).
