Devon County Show Maiden Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 16:05 | Winning time: -

Mickeysmatedusty

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: M B Shears

28/1

Newcomer by Revoque out of an unraced dam from an excellent jumping family. Trainer not had a winner in five years so probably best watched despite useful pedigree.

Form:

Springcombe Joe

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

5/1

Kayf Tara debutant is brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner and half-brother to six NH winners. Trainer 0 from 17 in bumpers last five years so watching brief barring significant market support.

Form:

Summit Like Herbie

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Savage⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

6/4

Sulamani entire out of a bumper and 2m5f hurdle winner from the family of numerous good jumpers. Top trainer always has his share of bumper winners so market check advised.

Form:

Dawn's Little Lady

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Miss Sarah Robinson

33/1

Dr Massini mare out of a winner over 2m2f and 3m over hurdles. Trainer not even had a horse placed in last five seasons so best watched.

Form:

Mrs Miggins

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

9/5

Filly by top jumps sire Presenting cost £48,000 as a three-year old. Dam won a point-to-point and is from a good jumping family. Trainer won this last year with a newcomer so very much respected here.

Form:

France Du Lukka¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis

16/1

Ran well for a while before fading into eighth of 10 on debut at Hereford last month. Has the benefit of experience but regardless of ability of the newcomers she must improve.

Form: 8

Righteous River³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

13/2

Not disgraced with midfield efforts in junior bumpers over 1m6f and 1m5½f in November. Should stay this trip easily enough and big player with her feather weight.

Form: 56

Forecasts

Summit Like Herbie (6/4), Mrs Miggins (9/5), Springcombe Joe (5/1), Righteous River (13/2), France Du Lukka (16/1), Mickeysmatedusty (28/1), Dawn's Little Lady (33/1)

David Pipe has an incredibly strong hand this afternoon and MRS MIGGINS can cap what hopefully will be a very good day for the master of Pond House. The stable won this race last year with a well-backed newcomer so market support would make her even more appealing. Righteous River has the best form of the duo who have raced and with such a light weight she can be expected to go well. Summit Like Herbie is another appealing newcomer from a big trainer.
