Bath best bet: My Ambition to take the win for Oisin Murphy

Runners and riders at Bath racecourse

There's a competitive handicap for the final race of an exciting meeting at Bath and the Tipstrr camp have the tip you need to go home happy.

17:30 Bath: On Course Values Online DragonBet Handicap (Class 6) (1 mile)

There are plenty of viable contenders for the competitive mile-long sprint and Dappled Light comes into this one in great form. 

Adrian Wintle's gelding has found his touch after an initial rough patch when he first joined the yard. He won last time out at Ffos Las and finished second at that course two starts ago as well as being narrowly beaten by a nose at Chepstow in June. 

A good runner over this distance, he definitely stands a chance, however there are other contenders with better credentials.

Weston Court is looking to make it three on the spin after back-to-back wins, with one at Windsor and the other over this course and distance. 

Despite previous form at this course, the victory was on firm ground so the good going on Wednesday may not be to his liking. 

For those who love an each-way bet, Monks Mead could be the horse for you as he has made the first three in six of his last eight outings. 

However, the Tipstrr camp have opted for Denis Coakley's gelding My Ambition and despite a tetchy start to the season, he certainly has the quality to win here. 

A two-time course and distance victor, My Ambition was disappointing in his first two outings of the season at this course and Windsor respectively. 

However, he bounced back with a good second at Leicester last time and the booking of Oisin Murphy could swing it in the five-year-old's favour. 

Murphy is one of the most dependable jockeys in the business and his presence can elevate My Ambition to lofty heights on one of his preferred courses.

Murphy has an excellent strike rate of 22 per cent this year and also visited the winner's enclosure on four occasions at last week's Newmarket festival. 

My Ambition can certainly take a victory here despite strong competition.

Suggested best bet: My Ambition in the 17:30 at Bath
