Summer Anthems Pitchcroft Family Event 13/07/2024 Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

£20,000 half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Skinnider (2m winner, by Shirocco), stays 2½m. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Apr 20). Tongue tied. Yard have had a few new bumper runners show up well recently.

Well backed on debut when offering up little and showed why as she left that form well behind after 9 weeks off when third at Stratford. Could do better again.

Unplaced completed start in points (May 31).

Half-sister to fair 2m hurdle winner Call Me Tara, stays 2¼m. Dam placed in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful staying hurdler/chaser Caddie Master. Backed off the boards but held back by inexperience when last of 5 at Newton Abbot nearly a year ago.

Sister to fair hurdler Maid On The Moon. Dam bumper/17f-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 23f), from family of Champion Hurdle winners Morley Street and Granville Again. Probably one for later on but offered a degree of short-term promise in Uttoxeter bumper (17/2) on recent debut.

Leading Light filly. Closely related to a winner, and half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Gentleman Duke, stayed 2½m. Dam ran once on Flat.

Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Sole Pretender and fair 19f hurdle winner Rocky Lake.

Unplaced on her sole outing in points but offered something to work on in Uttoxeter bumper (20/1) a fortnight ago.

Prominent in the betting but achieved nothing on debut in Uttoxeter bumper fitted with tongue tie 12 weeks ago.

Dartmouth filly. Dam placed in French hurdles, half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Sizing John. Of obvious interest on debut. 1 of 3 runners for the yard.

£15,000 3-y-o, Malinas filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Love Actually and fairly useful hurdler Esperti. Newcomer to note.

Poet's Word filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Killarney Mountain. Dam 11.5f-13.3f winner.
