Evening Meeting Thursday 21st April Open Maiden NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Big price and offered nothing in a C&D bumper a couple of months ago. Most unlikely to play a part.

€22,000 3-y-o, £105,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to Irish Grand National winner Freewheelin Dylan. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Oct 2021). Will be suited by further in time, but still worth noting having joined shrewd yard ahead of Rules debut.

Half-brother to smart hurdler Third Wind but disappointed when only seventh of 18 at Wincanton first time out. Off 102 days since, so no surprise if he leaves that form behind.

Bred to need further in time but showed up well when runner-up to a promising sort at Catterick on debut. Failed to back it up at Huntingdon 69 days ago, however.

Well-related, expensive purchase who hasn't really fired as yet, again failing to see things out when fifth at Wincanton 3 months ago. Questions to answer.

Half-brother to very smart hurdler/winning chaser Summerville Boy and offered something to work on when fourth at Exeter 53 days ago. SHould come on for that, so there's a bigger effort on the cards.

Hunter's Light gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler I Am Maximus, stays 2½m. Worht monitoring in the betting.

Noble Mission gelding who wasn't seen to best effect when a staying-on fourth at Market Rasen first time out but was unable to build on it at Huntingdon a couple of months ago. Others make more appeal.
