Pertemps Network Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 3m 40.1s

I Love My Baie³⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: S R B Crawford| D

5/1

Crillon gelding who was well backed and got his career off to a winning start in decisive fashion in a bumper at Perth (16.2f, good) 11 months ago, leading over 1f out and quickly putting the race to bed. Should have more to offer.

Form: 1-

Parade Away^t1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Harris

8/1

Jet Away gelding who finished runner-up on sole start in Irish points and offered something to work on when fourth of 15 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, soft) on 19 days ago. Tongue tie applied.

Form: 24-

Park Annonciade^t1⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

12/1

Shaped with plenty of encouragement when a close fifth of 14 in bumper at Wetherby in February but failed by a long chalk to repeat that at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 3 weeks later, racing freely. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 59-

Scandisk Park¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N J Henderson

7/4

€200,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related dual Champion Hurdler Hurricane Fly. Dam 7f winner. Placed both starts in points, runner-up latest (Dec 2022), so he makes plenty of appeal on Rules debut.

Form: 32-

Diamond Dealer^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse| BF

14/1

Diamond Boy gelding who was successful on sole outing in points but proved virtually unsteerable before running out on the home turn in a Ludlow bumper (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Hood applied and he could prove more tractable going left-handed.

Form: 1R-

Flying Fortune⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| D

5/2

Soldier of Fortune filly who confirmed previous promise when landing 9-runner bumper (4/1) at Stratford (16.3f, soft) a couple of months ago, in control when edging left late on. In the picture once more.

Form: 341-

Pertemps Diamond⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

14/1

Minor promise in a trio of starts so far, beaten 19¼ lengths when sixth at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 3 months ago.

La Perle Est Belle

Weight: 10-9| Age: 5

Forecasts

Scandisk Park (7/4), Flying Fortune (5/2), La Perle Est Belle (4/1), I Love My Baie (5/1), Parade Away (8/1), Park Annonciade (12/1), Diamond Dealer (14/1), Pertemps Diamond (14/1)

Cases can be made for a few but being closely related dual Champion Hurdler Hurricane Fly, SCANDISK PARK can make a winning start under Rules having been placed on both starts in points over the winter. Flying Fortune and I Love My Baie are both last-time-out winners and they can chase home Nicky Henderson's charge in that order, while market support for La Perle Est Belle would put a slightly different slant on things.
