Bath maintained their pressure on Northampton at the top of the Prem table with a resounding win against an injury-ravaged Harlequins.
The gulf between the sides opened up through the second half as Bath ended with eight tries, including two for Santiago Carreras, while Quins were down to the bare bones as Luke Northmore, Caden Murley, Nick David and Jarrod Evans joined their growing injury list.
Tom Carr-Smith, Tom Dunn, Ewan Richards, Josh Bayliss, Guy Pepper and Bernard Van der Linde all scored for Bath, with Bryn Bradley and Kieran Treadwell picking up the only two tries for the visitors.
The result means Bath remain a point behind league leaders Saints - who secured a late win over Exeter earlier on Saturday - with five games to go, while Harlequins remain ninth.
