British E.B.F. Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 15:50 | Winning time: 4m 7.25s

Kitty Hall⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| D

7/2

Beaten favourite on her bumper debut but improved to win a mares' bumper at Carlisle last month. Ought to go well again, despite having to concede weight all round.

Form: 31

Beeandbee

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J Mackie

66/1

Black Sam Bellamy mare, yard without a bumper winner from 22 runners in the last five years.

Form:

Bellevarde Express³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

14/1

Shirocco mare, tailed off on her first two starts in bumpers, though did show some ability first time out at Cheltenham; needs to improve to get involved here.

Form: 77

Bourbon Beauty²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

11/2

Kept on well for third in an 11 runner bumper at Southwell but failed to build on that at Uttoxeter latest. Might improve for better ground but yard have a low strike-rate in bumpers.

Form: 35

Burren Walk³³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

5/1

Third in a Warwick bumper that's worked out okay nearly a year ago. Not seen since but she's a leading player if she's improved in the interim.

Form: 3-

Convivial²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

22/1

Well beaten in all three of her bumper starts to date (spread over a 15 month period) and didn't show enough at Newcastle last time out to be of interest here.

Form: 6-96

Ever So Cool⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

9/1

Promising effort when sixth of 11 in a Fakenham bumper on debut and that race is working out well, producing two subsequent two-time winners. Yard do well in this sphere and she ought to improve.

Form: 6

Fille D'avignon⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby

33/1

Getaway filly bought for £26,000; half-sister to multiple winner Cloone Rocket. Beaten a long way and never really involved on her debut at Wetherby in November.

Form: 9

Global Harmony⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton

8/1

Only narrowly touched off in a heavy ground Lingfield bumper on debut but in too deep in Listed company at Huntingdon last month. Second string on jockey bookings but not out of this.

Form: 9-27

Lulu Baloo

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Schiaparelli mare, half-sister to 112 rated Milly Baloo and mare a winning hurdler/chaser. Market likely best guide on debut.

Form:

Saturn 'n Silk⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore

33/1

Universal filly, cost £9,000 as a 3yo and dam related to some useful chasers; well down the field in a competitive Aintree bumper on debut and may find this easier, but needs plenty of improvement.

Form: 0

Uptown Lady⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

4/1

£150,000 purchase who ran well when beaten just 1L in a point-to-point on only outing to date. Half-sister to winners Owen Na View and Gowithdflow and dam a three-time winner in bumpers; every chance she can make her presence felt.

Form: 2

Viva Jez Vegas

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Cook| T: T Collier

33/1

Jeremy mare, half-sister to two-time winner. May be in need of further than this.

Form:

Non-Runners

Hamilton's Fantasy

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

T: N J Henderson J: J McGrath

Forecasts

Hamilton's Fantasy (3/1), Kitty Hall (7/2), Uptown Lady (4/1), Burren Walk (5/1), Bourbon Beauty (11/2), Global Harmony (8/1), Ever So Cool (9/1), Bellevarde Express (14/1), Convivial (22/1), Saturn 'n Silk (33/1), Lulu Baloo (33/1), Fille D'avignon (33/1), Viva Jez Vegas (33/1), Beeandbee (66/1)

UPTOWN LADY cost a small fortune following her effort in a point-to-point and there's every chance she can make presence felt at this level. Kitty Hall has done very little wrong in her two starts to date and can't be ruled out despite having to concede weight. Ever So Cool is another obvious threat to the selection for the Skelton team who also saddle Global Harmony.
