British European Breeders Fund (EBF) Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race (NHMOPS Bonus/GBB Race)

Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 4m 11.1s

Billams Legacy⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

7/2

Much improved from Uttoxeter debut, becoming the third winner out of that race, when landing Wetherby contest two months ago. Hard to rule out with rider's claim offsetting the penalty.

Form: 51

Fenney Brook

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: H D Daly

20/1

Sulamani mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Knight Bachelor, stays 25f, and bumper winner/fair hurdler Tearsofclewbay.

Leading Ewe On⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

22/1

€40,000 half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Croco Bay and useful hurdler Thistle Do Nicely. Showed a bit on debut on back of a wind op at Wetherby in November. Entitled to progress.

Form: 4

Marshmallo⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly

20/1

Attracted support and showed a bit despite a steady pace in Warwick bumper on debut in November. Should improve but has a fair bit to find.

Form: 6

Miss Bamby¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Mackie

150/1

Bred to have ability but likely to show it further down the line if her low-key debut over C&D is anything to go by.

Form: 0

Step To The Top³²²

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

10/11

Showed useful form when placed in bumpers last term, second to Coquelicot in bumper at Kempton on latest outing 10 months ago. Clear form pick, so worth siding with despite the absence.

Form: 322-

Teescomponentslass⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey

7/1

Sister to dual bumper winner Dance of Time and half-sister and showed plenty at the first time of asking when runner-up at Ayr 80 days ago. Has left Gillian Boanas since and is open to improvement.

Form: 2

Alchemystique^t1⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: J TuiteWS

16/1

Warwick debut was not devoid of promise, but failed to build on it when only fifth at Wetherby 56 days ago. Now up in trip with a tongue strap applied.

Form: 35

Legendary Grace⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford

11/1

Multiplex filly. Dam fairly useful 2m hurdle/chase winner. Similar form when runner-up in a brace of bumpers this winter, latterly on the AW. Ran out at Taunton last time but remains with potential.

Form: 22R

Forecasts

Step To The Top (10/11), Billams Legacy (7/2), Teescomponentslass (7/1), Legendary Grace (11/1), Alchemystique (16/1), Marshmallo (20/1), Fenney Brook (20/1), Leading Ewe On (22/1), Miss Bamby (150/1)

STEP TO THE TOP hasn't been seen since her excellent second in listed company but, if anywhere close to being fully tuned up, she should outclass her rivals and open her account at the fourth attempt. Billams Legacy, a winner at Wetherby two months ago, looks the chief danger ahead of Teescomponentslass.
