Siniat EBF Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 4m 4.68s

Bombay Sapphire²⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Max Kendrick| T: N J Henderson| D

11/4

Beat a subsequent winner when springing a 28/1 surprise on her Gowran debut in February. Could be a very useful recruit for new trainer Nicky Henderson.

Form: 1-

Ruby Island²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford

16/1

Confirmed the promise of her Newcastle debut third in March when scoring at Hexham 3 weeks later. That bare form will need improving on if she's to defy a penalty.

Form: 31-

Credrojava²⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry

15/8

Bought for £80,000 after winning her sole start in Irish points in February. Stable has tasted success in this race before. Considered.

Form: 1-

Isabella Bee¹⁶⁹

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

11/1

35,000 gns purchase after finishing placed on both starts in Irish points (latest May 7). New yard does well in bumpers. Would enter the reckoning if the betting suggest she's fancied.

Form: 3-2

Miss Paige⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

40/1

7/2, shaped like a stayer when third of 7 on her Stratford debut in August. Will need to step up on that form now.

Form: 3

Redeemable^h1⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: K Frost| BF

25/1

Fourth in a pair of bumpers for Mick Channon during the summer (better effort on debut). New connections acquired her for £10,000 in August. Wears a hood. Brian Hughes a good booking.

Form: 44

Trudiemadlydeeply

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: R L Llewellyn

33/1

Aizavoski mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 19f chase winner Lydstep Point. Likely outsider on debut.

Form:

Clararose

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/1

£25,000 Yeats half-sister to fair hurdler Toofareastiswest and modest chaser Avoir de Soins. Top yard won this with a newcomer in 2020. A market move for her could prove significant.

Form:

Masked Dance¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

18/1

11,2 showed ability when fourth of 12 on her 2m Southwell debut in May. Will need to step up on that form now.

Form: 4

Tipperary Star

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Dylan Kitts⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex

10/1

£70,000 Getaway filly. Sister to useful 19f-25f hurdle winner Ree Okka. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (winner up to 25f) Identity Thief. Trainer won this with La Bague Au Roi in 2015.

Form:

Forecasts

Credrojava (15/8), Bombay Sapphire (11/4), Clararose (5/1), Tipperary Star (10/1), Isabella Bee (11/1), Ruby Island (16/1), Masked Dance (18/1), Redeemable (25/1), Trudiemadlydeeply (33/1), Miss Paige (40/1)

The betting will provide more clues but Irish-winner BOMBAY SAPPHIRE could have more to come for new trainer Nicky Henderson so she's the suggestion. Harry Fry is always to be feared in these events so his Irish point recruit Credrojava is next on the list. The Skeltons' Clararose is another likely type on paper.
