Price Boosts On Football At Rhino.Bet Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:40 | Winning time: 4m 6.54s

Bhaloo^t1³⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'BrienWS

9/2

Shaped very well indeed when a strong-finishing fourth in 2m Kempton bumper (good to soft) last March. Absent since (has undergone a wind op in the interim) but he's open to improvement and merits respect in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 4-

Rockstown Native²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

11/1

Point winner who was fourth at Warwick on Rules debut. Could build on that, but plenty more required.

Form: 414

Splashing Wave¹⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

12/1

Fourth of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good, 28/1) on NH debut but failed to build on it when sixth at Bangor 166 days ago. Might get back on track after a break.

Form: 46

Take No Chances⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/4

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and duly showed plenty of ability when second to good prospect in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in December. Not disgraced when third over C&D 2 months ago and should take all the beating.

Form: 41-23

Boundary Jack

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley

4/1

£15,000 3-y-o, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Metal Exchange. Dam lightly raced on Flat in France. One to take seriously on debut.

Form:

James Baie³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin

50/1

Unplaced sole outing in point and up against it on first go under Rules.

Form: 5

Kandor⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: W T Kennedy| T: M Scudamore

6/1

€20,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Joshua Tree gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Playful Saint and half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Pierrot Lunaire. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Feb 19).

Form: 2

Matoury^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E SowersbyWS

250/1

Hasn't shown much in two runs to date and others make more appeal.

Form: 05

Forecasts

Take No Chances (5/4), Boundary Jack (4/1), Bhaloo (9/2), Kandor (6/1), Rockstown Native (11/1), Splashing Wave (12/1), James Baie (50/1), Matoury (250/1)

TAKE NO CHANCES sets the standard and should be able to open his account at the third attempt. Bhaloo has been off the track more than a year since an encouraging debut but he's still worthy of respect, while Kandor looks a notable Rules newcomer having won a point.
