16:15 Bath Tips — Friday 17th April 2026

Our gaze turns to Bath for the 16:15, and we've pinpointed a selection that, despite short odds, offers a formidable proposition. **Man Of The Sea** (1/10) from the astute Neil Mulholland yard, with Myla Coppins in the saddle, is the clear standout.

While his recent form reads 95141/110-, culminating in a slightly disappointing latest outing, the underlying numbers paint a picture of a horse with genuine class. Our key trends emphatically back this up; he's been remarkably consistent, *placing in three of his last five runs* prior to that blip. This highlights his reliability and capability at this level.

Furthermore, the significant trend of *'placed before last — capable of bouncing back'* perfectly encapsulates Man Of The Sea's current position. With an Official Rating of 58, he holds a distinct advantage over much of the field, and a return to his preferred Good ground should see him back to his best. Expect a confident performance from this proven runner, who looks exceptionally well-placed to dominate.

For those eyeing a bit more value, **The Craftymaster** offers an intriguing each-way option, but we’re putting our faith squarely in Man Of The Sea to deliver the goods. A solid play to kick off the afternoon.
