Teddington Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:47 | Winning time: 4m 11.30s

Revasser¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| D

7/1

Closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser Le Reve and made a winning start at Warwick 6 months ago. This looks tougher, particularly with the penalty shoulder, but there's more to come.

Form: 1-

Buckhorn Rocco²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard

14/1

Closely related to 2 winners and showed something to work on when fifth in Wincanton bumper 8 months ago. Should step forward from that, so not one to readily pass over.

Form: 5-

Commodore Miller¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

18/1

Related to bumper winners and, while disappointing at Market Rasen first time out 6 months ago, there's a chance he proves to be a different proposition on return.

Form: 8

Crypto Currency¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

7/2

€20,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Dam (h103), maiden hurdler, 11f winner on Flat. One to be interested in if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 3-1

Island Run

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

17/2

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winning hurdler/smart chaser Imperial Presence and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Generous Ransom.

Form:

Lieutenant Highway^h²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| BF

7/1

Fitted with a hood for debut, shaped with some encouragement when third of 4 in 2m bumper at Punchestown 16 days ago, despite failing to meet expectations. Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 3

Salt Of The Earth³²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

4/1

£55,000 4-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Successful completed start in points (Dec 2020). Trainer should have him ready for this Rules debut, so warants plenty of respect.

Form: U1-

Sandalwood

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

7/2

Martaline gelding. Half-brother to French chaser Enki Flight. Dam, French 2m hurdle winner, Represents powerful stable, so obviously one to note on debut.

Form:

The Bandit¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: N B King| BF

40/1

Didn't quite come up to expectations for Willie Mullins but his third at Downpatrick 6 months ago represents a fair piece of form, so he could feature if taking another step forward.

Form: 8-3

Kilfords Queen¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford

33/1

£27,000 4-y-o, Dylan Thomas filly. Dam, placed in point, out of useful 2m hurdle winner Lounaos. Third in Irish point on debut (May 9). Not a forlorn hope.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Crypto Currency (7/2), Sandalwood (7/2), Salt Of The Earth (4/1), Lieutenant Highway (7/1), Revasser (7/1), Island Run (17/2), Buckhorn Rocco (14/1), Commodore Miller (18/1), Kilfords Queen (33/1), The Bandit (40/1)

SALT OF THE EARTH has already tasted success in points and he should be more wound up than the bulk of his rivals given his stable, so he gets the nod in what could prove to be a hot contest. Sandalwood also makes plenty of appeal on paper, while Revasser deserves respect despite being penalised for his Warwick success 6 months ago.
