Premiership sides Saracens, Bath and Northampton are among the winners in the latest round of games in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
In a fiercely fought contest, the away team took an early lead, hooker Jack Walker benefitting from the work of his forward pack to drive over from a rolling maul within the first five minutes.
But it was Saracens' experience that proved to be the difference, with two further Eden penalties putting the home side once again in the lead before Hartley dotted down with less than three minutes to play. With less than 10 minutes to go, it looked like the home fans could be treated to a notable Blues victory, before constant Bath pressure finally told.
Former Worcester stalwart Matt Kvesic then responded for the home team, after winger David Opoku was halted with the line beckoning. Carefully recycled ball saw Kvesic force his way over, although the conversion was missed. Following the break, the rampaging Holgate secured his second try, picking a hole in the Exiles defence to dot down untouched, before tries for team-mates Ben Harris, Bobby De Wee and Rayn Smid secured the bonus point that leaves Ward's men top of the pool, ahead of Harlequins on points difference.
