Chris Pennell's Sparkling Testimonial Year Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 3m 45.10s

Angel Moon¹⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

14/1

Promising effort on debut in January when running at Ludlow (2m, soft). Stable in reasonably good form and does well with this type of runner. Improvement likely, though may have to wait for other days to win.

Form: 5-

Avast Ye

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: S Lycett

12/1

Dam 6f winning half-sister to winners Quench Dolly (useful 5f-6f), Gabbiano (5f-6f), Harrison Stickle (5.7f/6f) and Fayre Bella (6f) out of 5f-6f winner. Pedigree suggests this will really test her stamina, but interesting jockey booking.

Getaway Honey⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: David Dennis

8/1

Boubht for £16,000 after winning an Irish point-to-point in May (third run). Makes rules debut for a stable that is 7% in this sphere over five seasons and a bit quiet at present. Market check.

Form: 24-1

Miss Click^t1⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bishop

25/1

Pulled up in all three point-to-point runs in the spring. Dam a half-sister to a bumper winner, but this €1,000 three-year-old looks best watched on her rules debut.

Form: PP-P

Overshot¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss K Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: P York

100/1

Has shown very little in point-to-points or on her rules debut, when a 28L last of seven at Newton Abbot last month. Can only watch.

Form: P-U67

Pennant Legend²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

50/1

Not disgraced on debut at Towcester in October, though not as good when last seen at Hereford in November. Stable has had just one bumper winner in five seasons and looks unlikely to double that tally today.

Form: 40-

Skin Deep²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

4/11

£56,000 three-year-old purchase. In good hands. Improved on her Wincanton debut when 2¾L second at Southwell (1m7½f, good) last month. Looks a serious player in a weak race.

Form: 32

The Boola Bee^h1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Buckley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Hawke

14/1

Won an open maiden point-to-point on her fourth and most recent start in that sphere. Since bought for £2,000. Makes rules debut for a stable that is 9% over five season in this sphere. 10lb claimer up and could get involved for the minors.

Form: P4-R1

Rose Crown⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon

5/1

Has put in three respectable runs so far, the latest of them over C&D (good) last week, when an 8L second. Will need to improve on that to break her duck, but can probably pick up some more prize money.

Form: 442

Forecasts

Skin Deep (4/11), Rose Crown (5/1), Getaway Honey (8/1), Avast Ye (12/1), Angel Moon (14/1), The Boola Bee (14/1), Miss Click (25/1), Pennant Legend (50/1), Overshot (100/1)

There is scarcely any depth to this contest and SKIN DEEP looks capable of delivering on the promise that she has shown in her first two starts. Rose Crown could again have a say, while Angel Moon looks a potential improver. It is also worth checking out both Avast Ye and Getaway Honey for any market confidence, given their jockey bookings.
