Fitzdares Adores Henrietta Knight Mares' Open NH Flat Race (Listed) (GBB Race)

Off time: 14:57 | Winning time: 3m 50.28s

Fire Lake^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| D

11/1

Confirmed debut promise when readily off the mark at Taunton and wasn't disgraced when mid-field in a listed event at Cheltenham last time, left with a lot to do. Can't be ruled out.

Form: 217

Flying Sara²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber| D

6/4

Dual bumper winner who returned from 13 months off with an excellent second to Timeforatune at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. A reproduction of that should put her right in the mix.

Form: 1/1-2

Good Look Charm⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball| BF

7/1

Scored at Sedgefield last year and returned (on first outing since leaving Jimmy Moffatt) with an improved third at Aintree. That form isn't working, but another solid showing is on the cards.

Form: 41-3

Hillfinch⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

28/1

Made a winning start in 8-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 4/1), then wasn't disgraced when fourth under a penalty at Chepstow. Unlikely to be up to this level, though.

Form: 14

Lady Jane P⁴⁶

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

13/2

Winning debut at Newton Abbot in September and firmly back on track when runner-up at Worcester the following month. Likely to be thereabouts for all others have more potential.

Form: 10-2

Malina Jamila²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

40/1

Bettered previous efforts when third in a Wincanton bumper a month ago but she's out of her depth in this.

Form: 00-3

Now Then Wendy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

50/1

Mukhadram filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Royal Household. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdler Mizyen. Tough ask on debut.

Form:

Precious²⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: A J Honeyball

9/1

Well-bred filly who knew her job when making a successful debut at Plumpton last December. Struggled in this company at Sandown next time, so uphill task back from 8 months off.

Form: 10-

Presenting Nelly⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

10/1

Related to a bumper winner and opened her account at the first time of asking in 7-runner event at Uttoxeter 51 days ago. More to come, so well worth her place at this level.

Form: 1

Signal Point²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

12/1

Fame And Glory mare who placed on both starts prior to a respectable sixth to Bonntay at Cheltenham last time, this looks a bit easier, but the sharper test won't suit.

Form: 23-6

Starlyte^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Ian Williams| D

22/1

Stepped up on debut when comfortably off the mark at Kelso 167 days ago but others have better form and she never featured at Cheltenham on return. Cheekpieces are tried.

Form: 310

Stoppers Sista^h1⁴⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: L Morgan

100/1

Arcadio mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/smart hurdler Emitom and useful hurdler Take Revenge. Wears hood. Fourth of 6 finishers sole completed start in Irish points (Sep 2020).

Form: F/4-

Walk In The Storm²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

22/1

Walk In The Park filly who showed plenty when second in a bumper at Worcester on debut but will need to improve if he's to get the better of some race-fit rivals on reappearance.

Form: 2-

Forecasts

Flying Sara (6/4), Lady Jane P (13/2), Good Look Charm (7/1), Precious (9/1), Presenting Nelly (10/1), Fire Lake (11/1), Signal Point (12/1), Walk In The Storm (22/1), Starlyte (22/1), Hillfinch (28/1), Malina Jamila (40/1), Now Then Wendy (50/1), Stoppers Sista (100/1)

PRESENTING NELLY did well to get up late on her debut and the form has been boosted by the runner-up subsequently, so she could improve enough to defend her unbeaten record stepped up in class. Flying Sara's recent second at Cheltenham is the best piece of form on show, so she's a big player, while Good Luck Charm is unlikely to be far away.
