PJ Nicholls KGM Korea Genuinely Made Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 3m 44.06s

Elysian Knight³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

11/2

Champs Elysees gelding. Bred to stay well but he offered something to work on when third of 12 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good, 5/1) on NH debut 34 days ago, pushed along home turn and plugging on. Can build on that.

Form: 3

Holokea⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

11/2

£55,000 5-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam maiden pointer. Irish point winner himself, including last time (May 5) and market confidence behind him would look interesting for yard who are 2-7 with their bumper runners so far this term.

Form: P2217-1

Rocket Man³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| BF

12/1

€82,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Proved a disappointment relative to his SP when fourth of 6 on bumper debut at Warwick (2m) in May, caught out badly one the pace lifted before staying on gradually. Feasible to think he can take a step forward.

Form: 4

All Well And Good

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

13/2

Mukhadram gelding. Dam 7f/1m winner. Pedigree suggests he will have the requisite speed for this sort of test and yard no stranger to success in this sphere. Respected.

Form:

Confinentic

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

11/1

Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam, ran once on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser who became unreliable (stayed 25f) Problema Tic. Market should prove an informative guide on racecourse bow.

Form:

Everybodydancenow

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

10/1

Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler Colin's Sister and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Colin's Brother. Stable’s first-timers usually supported.

Form:

Patch Man²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Cobden| T: Sir Mark Prescott| BF

4/1

Walk In The Park gelding. Failed to justify cramped odds when sixth of 7 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 28 days ago, heavy ground a possible factor. Strength behind him in the betting shouldn't be forgotten though and he's worth another chance.

Form: 6

Steel Soldier³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: J R Norton

250/1

£5,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Dare Me. Little impact in Irish points (latest outing May 12).

Form: 7F-8

Theatre Of Flight

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

20/1

Mukhadram gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Nadaitak and modest 2m chase winner Alghazaal. Dam 1¼m winner. Yard boast a healthy strike rate in bumpers so far this term so strength behind him in the betting would look significant.

Form:

Warfleet

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: F Brennan

33/1

Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h99), 2¾m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Billy No Name out of useful hurdle winner around 2m Just Little.

Form:

Noels Destiny Star

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

5/1

€65,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to useful chaser Go On Chez and modest hurdler Belatrix Lestrange. Dam, bumper winner, out of half-sister to outstanding 2m chaser Azertyuiop and very smart French staying chaser Bipbap. Very much respected on debut.

Form:

Non-Runners

As Good As Can Be⁵²

Weight: 10-9| Age: 4

T: Miss C Dyson J: David Noonan

Forecasts

Patch Man (4/1), Noels Destiny Star (5/1), Holokea (11/2), Elysian Knight (11/2), All Well And Good (13/2), Everybodydancenow (10/1), Confinentic (11/1), Rocket Man (12/1), Theatre Of Flight (20/1), Warfleet (33/1), As Good As Can Be (100/1), Steel Soldier (250/1)

PATCH MAN was all the rage in the betting (yard 4-11 in bumpers in last 5 seasons) but ultimately may have found the testing ground catching him out on bumper debut at Southwell 4 weeks ago. He's afforded another chance under Harry Cobden. Newcomer Noels Destiny Star is one to consider, with Rocket Man and Elysian Knight another pair worth a second look in a competitive affair.
