Small Business Of The Year Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race

Off time: 17:32 | Winning time: 4m 13.50s

Allavina³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

5/2

Getaway half-sister to bumper winner One Cool Scorpion, and shaped well when third of 16 to Coquelicot in mares bumper at Huntingdon last month. Seems sure to build on that.

Form: 3

Catmygirl³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: M Wigham

66/1

Out of a half-sister to Best Mate, but this mare showed very little on her racecourse debut at Fakenham last month. May do better given her pedigree, but has to leave that effort well behind.

Form: 8

Cimetta³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Herrington

25/1

Half-sister to a bumper winner, and she showed plenty to work on when staying on into fifth of 16 to Coquelicot in mares bumper at Huntingdon last month. Should improve, and each-way claims.

Form: 5

Forthegreatergood^t1⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: F O'Brien| BFWS

11/4

Yeats mare who won a 3m mares' maiden at Liscarroll for Sam Curling. Beaten favourite at Uttoxeter on bumper debut, and now wears a tongue tie after wind surgery. On to note.

Form: 221-3

Mosambo

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: T R George

8/1

Fame And Glory half-sister to bumper winner Now Look At Me out of a half-sister to Thyestes Chase winner My Murphy. Should have a future over obstacles, and merits a market check on debut.

Form:

Shiroccsmyworld⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

14/1

Much better effort in bumpers when 10½L third of 11 to Miss Austen in mares event at Ludlow last time. Place claims with a repeat, but may be vulnerable to unexposed rivals.

Form: 73

Veshenskaya¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: A Crook

66/1

Related to winners, but looked badly in need of the experience when seventh of 9 to Animal in a C&D bumper last month. May do better with experience.

Form: 7

Martello Sky³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham

9/2

From a family connections have done very well with, and well backed when winning maiden bumper at Fakenham by 3½L from Fantastikas. Should improve on that, and respected despite her penalty.

Form: 1

Back On The Bridle⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: R Johnson| T: J J Hanlon

7/1

Valirann half-sister to Tolworth Hurdle winner Fiddlerontheroof. Appeals on paper, although concerning that she pulled up in a point-to-point last month.

Form: P

Fine By Her

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: M D Grant| T: J S Smith

33/1

Shirocco half-sister to bumper winner Stoner's Choice out of a bumper winner. Yard not known for success in this sphere, and this filly may be one for further down the line.

Form:

Gazette Bourgeoise^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case

20/1

Spanish Moon half-sister to very smart chaser Acapella Bourgeois and winning French chaser Bella Bourgeoise. Appeals on paper, although yard has a modest strike-rate in bumpers.

Form:

Just Tottie³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: N Kent

100/1

Full-sister to a point-to-point winner, and looked short of pace when beaten a long way on her bumper debut at Huntingdon last month. Likely to need time and distance.

Form: 0

Midnight Mary²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

25/1

Out of owners' staying chaser Epee Celeste. Shaped better than the distance beaten when fifth to Nada To Prada at Warwick on her bumper debut, and should do better.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Allavina (5/2), Forthegreatergood (11/4), Martello Sky (9/2), Back On The Bridle (7/1), Mosambo (8/1), Shiroccsmyworld (14/1), Gazette Bourgeoise (20/1), Midnight Mary (25/1), Cimetta (25/1), Fine By Her (33/1), Veshenskaya (66/1), Catmygirl (66/1), Just Tottie (100/1)

ALLAVINA represents a yard in fine form, and shaped very well when third on her debut at Huntingdon. She will progress and is preferred to the penalised Martello Sky. Forthegreatergood could be a big danger having had wind surgery aftre finishing third on debut when well supported.
