Alan Swinbank Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race (Listed) (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:16 | Winning time: 4m 19.85s

Chosen Port⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy| BF

14/1

£115,000 buy after winning sole point. Evens, promising 2 lengths second in Wetherby bumper for new connections in November. Open to progress.

Form: 1-2

Dragon Bones⁴⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

66/1

Sprung a 50/1 surprise on Worcester debut (good to soft) 15 months ago. Looked a useful prospect on that occasion but it has taken a long time to get her back to the track.

Form: 1-

Fashion Nova⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| BF

66/1

£42,000 buy after winning Irish point. Caught further back than ideal when 5¾ lengths third to reopposing Miss Lamb on Wetherby Rules debut, the fact she went off 4/6 suggesting she's well regarded.

Form: 41-3

Grangee⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Readily justified short odds on Galway debut (heavy) in October. Much respected for top Irish yard which won this race last season.

Form: 1

Merry Mistress³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: T Symonds

4/1

Clear-cut winner on Hereford debut (heavy) a month ago. Form boosted by the runner-up winning next time. Looks up to making her presence felt at this higher level.

Form: 1

Miss Lamb⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Colliver| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

22/1

Winner on Newcastle debut a year and followed up on Wetherby return in November. However, her form isn't anything special so she'll need to find a good chunk of improvement to remain unbeaten.

Form: 1-1

Eileendover⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly

11/8

Flat-bred filly who has won a couple of junior bumpers at up 13.5f by a combined total of 45 lengths. Longer trip now asks a different question but she could be really smart.

Form: 11

Forecasts

Eileendover (11/8), Grangee (7/4), Merry Mistress (4/1), Chosen Port (14/1), Miss Lamb (22/1), Dragon Bones (66/1), Fashion Nova (66/1)

EILEENDOVER has looked something out of the ordinary when a wide-margin winner of both starts and is selected to cope with the longer trip and stretch her unbeaten record to 3. Irish-raider Grangee rates an obvious danger for last year's winning yard, while Merry Mistress also shouldn't be underestimated with her Hereford debut success having been boosted by the runner-up since.
