BATH.

Byline: Andrew King

ANDY HAYNES was in double form, having won a race earlier on the card with Piazza San Pietro, when the Paul Nolan-partnered Desperate Dan came from last to first in the concluding 5f handicap to deprive Matterofact.

Haynes's assistant Darren Corke said: "He seems to love it at this course as that is his fourth win here. It must be that we only train about half an hour away and he knows he'll be home in good time!" Seb Sanders also completed a second win on the night aboard Whiskey Junction, when making every post a winning one on the Mick Quinn trained five-year-old to outpoint Forest Dane for the 5f1/2f handicap.

Andrew Balding's horses continue in sparkling form, and Dingaan maintained the momentum when swooping late for David Probert to get the better of Magroom in the 1m handicap.

Probert said: "That was the plan - to wait and then switch as the horse does not like others around him and, in the end, he's done the job very nicely in the softish ground."

Balding and Probert doubled up when Brave Bugsy responded gamely to the rider's urgings to hold the renewed attentions of Star Of Pompey to collect the 2m1f handicap.

Joint owner, Keith Pugh, said: "He's not the quickest and the softish ground has probably helped him. David gave him a great ride as he followed his instructions to the letter."
