Greenbank Group UK Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Walk Of The Roses²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| D

11/4

Made a successful start in a 6-runner event at Ffos Las, showing a good attitude. Entitled to improve on that, so solid claims under a penalty.

Form: 1

Gone Away Madam

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

6/1

Blue Bresil mare. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Harbour Court. Worth a market check on debut.

Form:

Might Do Emery³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies

100/1

Unplaced sole start in point bumpers and fell in a bumper at Ludlow. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 5-F

Conniegetaway²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J Coulson

22/1

Bettered debut form when second of 6 at Southwell last time and another step forward would put her in the mix.

Form: 02

Honey Crisp

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter

9/1

£1,000 3-y-o, Decorated Knight filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner in Hong Kong Smart Charade. Dam unraced. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Form:

Late Getaway

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

3/1

Getaway filly. Dam (c124/h112) 2½m/21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 23f). One for shortlist on debut given connections.

Form:

Princess Unique³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

20/1

Bred to need further and only seventh of 8 at Worcester on debut, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 7

Snow Shepherdess²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

9/4

Half-sister to numerous Flat winners and made a positive start when second of 3 at Kelso on debut. Entitled to improve on that, so worthy of respect.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Snow Shepherdess (9/4), Walk Of The Roses (11/4), Late Getaway (3/1), Melleray Hill (7/2), Gone Away Madam (6/1), Honey Crisp (9/1), Princess Unique (20/1), Nobody's Perfect (20/1), Conniegetaway (22/1), Might Do Emery (100/1)

MELLERAY HILL won the second of his 2 outings in points and represents a shrewd yard on Rules debut, so he's marginally preferred to Walk of The Roses, who showed a good attitude to make a winning start at Ffos Las in May. Snow Shepherdess is another one to consider.
