Horse Racing analyst Will Smith previews Saturday's Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot and provides a 25/1 each-way ante-post selection.
Bath Racecourse is owned by Arena Racing Company and located on Lansdown Hill which is just over 3 miles northeast of Bath in Somerset.
Although not the biggest racecourse in the country, due to its picturesque setting, Bath is a popular destination for both avid racegoers and those looking for an enjoyable day out with a picnic.
In 2015/16 the Arena Racing Company invested heavily in the racecourse, providing significant redevelopment along with the new Langridge Grandstand which features a roof garden for spectators to watch the races.
Although Hexham and Exeter Racecourse are higher, Bath is one of the highest flat racecourse in the country being 780 feet above sea level.
