Actuate Marketing Mares' Intermediate Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 17:11 | Winning time: 4m 21.1s

Atomic Article¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Miss L Blackford

7/1

Improved from first to second run in Irish point-to-points when only beaten a head when last seen. Bought for £6,000 she now makes her Rules/stable debut; yard 1-25 in bumpers last five seasons (1-20 with debutants overall); interesting newcomer.

Form: 62-

I'm Notapartygirl¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: A E Jones

11/4

Both her bumper starts have come over this C&D; confirmed that she had ability last time having been given a break from her debut effort. Yard 2-15 with bumper runners last five seasons; no contenders from big yards in her way this time.

Form: 63

Ioweu⁶¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: B Barr

33/1

Not seen since finishing last of seven in a Lingfield AW bumper a considerable while ago; that run suggesting that she had limitations in any case. Started at 50-1 and likely to be in a similar price range this time; hard to see her getting involved.

Form: 7/

Lucky Purchase¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

28/1

Failed to impress on her only outing so far finishing last of five over C&D when a 33-1 chance. Ground and experience to make up on I'm Notapartygirl who was also making her debut in that race and has run well since; plenty to find.

Form: 5

Rosie Picture⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

11/4

Yard not known for their prowess in bumpers (1-48 last five seasons) with this daughter of Arvico running to a modest level first-time up over C&D behind an odds-on favourite. This looks easier, not inconceivable she will take a step forward.

Form: 4

Brooklyn Belle¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins

7/2

Yard have a fair record in bumpers (punch above their weight); this Olden Times filly looked in need of the run/experience on her bumper debut. Beaten 15L she wouldn't need to improve much on that run to take a hand in this.

Form: 6

Fleury^t1⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer

9/2

Bumper newcomer for a yard who are 1-12 with their debutants in this sphere since 2014. Pulled up on her only point-to-point run though which doesn't augur well with a tongue-tie going on for her debut; best watched unless there is market support.

Form: P

Forecasts

I'm Notapartygirl (11/4), Rosie Picture (11/4), Brooklyn Belle (7/2), Fleury (9/2), Atomic Article (7/1), Lucky Purchase (28/1), Ioweu (33/1)

Not a huge amount of strength in depth but no runners from big gun stables which gives some of the lesser lights a chance with I'M NOTAPARTYGIRL the one who looks to benefit the most having gained some experience over this C&D already; she looks ready to make the most of a good chance. Rosie Picture and Brooklyn Belle are another duo who should be able to make their mark in similar events with Atomic Article perhaps the most interesting runner making her bumper/stable debut after running well in a point-to-point when last seen.
