Taunton Racecourse Business Club Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 16:15 | Winning time: 3m 55.52s

Rose Above It¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Charlie Sprake⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tickle

8/1

Confirmed point bumper form when justifying support in amateurs’ maiden at Exeter (17f) in April. Third of 5 at Stratford the following month but suspicion she'll be vulnerable under penalty again.

Form: 321-3

Dolly Clothespeg³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle

125/1

40/1 when never involved on Warwick debut 5 weeks ago. Will need to leave that well behind.

Form: 5

Fist Pumping Time^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

8/1

From a very good NH family and showed promise on the first of 2 outings for Sam Curling in Ireland in the spring. Worth a betting check on first outing for new stable.

Form: 5B4-0

Hey Frankie

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

5/1

Mahler half-sister to ungenuine 2½m hurdle winner See Forever. Stable does enjoy the odd bit of bumper success so she's worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form:

One Hundred Notout¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| BF

7/4

Left poorly placed when fifth in a steadily-run bumper at Southwell on her debut back in July. The fact she went off at 2/1 suggests better was expected by her good stable.

Form: 5

Fire Lake^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris

5/2

Nearly provided her in-form yard with another winner when going down by only a head on her Ludlow debut 3 weeks ago. That makes her the one to beat here.

Form: 2

Miss West

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams

12/1

€9,500 Westerner filly. Dam placed once in points. Stable just 2-77 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Form:

The Height Of Fame²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke

18/1

Modest form at best in 2 bumpers in March. Needs to have improved during her time off.

Form: 58-

Forecasts

One Hundred Notout (7/4), Fire Lake (5/2), Hey Frankie (5/1), Fist Pumping Time (8/1), Rose Above It (8/1), Miss West (12/1), The Height Of Fame (18/1), Dolly Clothespeg (125/1)

The Milton Harris stable is enjoying an excellent October so FIRE LAKE is taken to build on her debut second at Ludlow and go one better now. The Fergal O'Brien-trained One Hundred Notout was prominent in the betting on her debut back in the summer and may leave that run behind and provide the main threat.
