Cazoo Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:22 | Winning time: 3m 52.77s

Blue Beach

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

40/1

Kayf Tara mare. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Pique Rock. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and she's probably best watched on this occasion.

Form:

Copperfasten¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

8/1

£160,000 half-sister to useful hurdler Copper Gone West. Successful sole start between the flags and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form: 1

Maid Of The Night⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| D

13/2

£40,000 purchase whose dam is closely related to high-class hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Menorah. Winner of the second of her two starts between the flags and interesting contender on Rules debut.

Form: 41

Missed Vacation³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

80/1

Positive start to her career when a clear second over this C&D on New Year's Eve. Subsequently performed poorly at Ascot, so now has a bit to prove, but she's certainly not one to write off just yet.

Form: 26

Queenhill³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jay Tidball⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Ralph

14/1

Third in point bumper on debut in May and found only one too good in this discipline on Rules debut at Worcester the following month. Backward step on return at Hereford, though, and others make more appeal.

Form: 325

Touchy Feely²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

11/8

Closely related to bumper winner Sure Touch and may well have made a successful debut but for hanging under pressure at Newbury. That experience won't be wasted on her and obvious chance of going one better here.

Form: 2

Celestial Park

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: B I Case

22/1

€35,000 3-y-o. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Warden Hill. Yard is hardly prolific in bumpers and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time.

Form:

Insolente Nelsa

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

7/1

€30,000 half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Gage de Reussite. Yard in good nick and boasts a decent strike rate in bumpers in recent seasons, so there's certainly cause for optimism.

Form:

Jasmiwa²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| BF

15/2

Fetched €100,000 as a 3-y-o and showed promise despite looking badly in need of the experience when sixth of 10 on debut at Newbury. Work to do if she's to get the better of Touchy Feely, who was runner-up in that bumper, but she should be more street-wise this time.

Form: 6

Kylenoe Dancer³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: P Henderson

125/1

Shaped pretty well on her introduction at Newbury in December, but fair to say that she hasn't managed to build on that since and this filly is likely to need more time and distance.

Form: 465

Passing Reflection

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

11/2

Passing Glance filly who is a sister to bumper winner Eyes Right. Yard boasts a decent record in bumpers and confidence behind this filly in the betting would look significant.

Form:

Forecasts

Touchy Feely (11/8), Passing Reflection (11/2), Maid Of The Night (13/2), Insolente Nelsa (7/1), Jasmiwa (15/2), Copperfasten (8/1), Queenhill (14/1), Celestial Park (22/1), Blue Beach (40/1), Missed Vacation (80/1), Kylenoe Dancer (125/1)

TOUCHY FEELY had Jasmiwa back in sixth when finding just one too good on debut at Newbury and while the latter is entitled to come on for the run, the same is true of Nicky Henderson's charge, who may well have emerged on top that day but for hanging in the closing stages. Insolente Nelsa and Passing Reflection are interesting newcomers, particularly the latter, while point winners Copperfasten and Maid of The Night also merit respect.
