Virgin Bet Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Martello Sky. Built on the promise of his first 2 runs when landing 13-runner contest at Huntingdon in December. 5 lb conditional on this time and he seems sure to go well under a penalty.

€58,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Dreal Deal. Dam unraced. Strong at the finish when landing 8-runner bumper on debut at Southwell in November. Very likely there's more to come.

Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Al Clay. Has the frame and pedigree to think he'll make a hurdler/chaser but he was talented enough to make a winning bumper debut at Southwell in November. Second that day won next time and he's a big player under a penalty.

£26,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Dam (h111) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m) out of fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner up to 25f) Garrylough. Showed ability amidst greenness when fourth to Guard Duty at Southwell in November.

€32,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler The Great White, stays 2¾m. Bred to need time and distance and shaped that way starting out at Ludlow in November.

£20,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Richard's Sundance. Unable to land a blow on debut at Bangor in October.

Mastercraftsman gelding. Half-brother to ungenuine 6f winner My Style. Dam 1m winner.

Bred for jumps but well backed and he duly delivered on debut at Doncaster in November. In good hands and likely there's lots more to come.

£8,000 3-y-o, Gentlewave mare. Half-sister to ungenuine but fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Castletown, stays 23f and fair chaser D'bru Na Boinne, stayed 2½m.

£30,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to ungenuine but fair 2½m hurdle winner/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¾m) Another Palm. Newcomer to note.

Minor promise both starts, beaten 14 lengths when third at Doncaster a month ago.
