St Austell Brewery Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

Runner-up in a point and fourth on Rules debut at Worcester. That sets a reasonable standard and she could put her experience to good use.

Form: P2-4

Eskimo Sam^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to 1¾m winner Artic Nel. Wears tongue strap. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard that does well in this sphere.

Form:

O'Malley⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Kieran Burke

Showed something to work on when fifth here on completed start, showing greenness. Capable of better with the benefit of experience.

Form: B-5

Absence Of Malice

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Mullins| T: P & M Bowen

Hillstar filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 25f) Pym. Likely to need further but stable is going well.

Form:

Dance The Moon³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Thomas Campbell. Something to work on when fourth in a 17-runner event at Newbury on debut but failed to back it up at Uttoxeter last time.

Form: 4-7

Lady Henrietta⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

Has hinted at ability in a couple of bumpers but looks more one for the longer term.

Form: 85

Polly Pi

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to poor hurdler Timassini. Dam (c92/h94), temperamental 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 10.7f winner on Flat. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Pure Seduction⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Ben Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

£30,000 4-y-o, Mount Nelson filly. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Daisy's Gift. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 28).

Form: 32-

Forecasts

Back In The Bay (3/1), Pure Seduction (7/2), Eskimo Sam (6/1), Absence Of Malice (6/1), Polly Pi (13/2), O'Malley (8/1), Dance The Moon (10/1), Lady Henrietta (12/1)

PURE SEDUCTION has shown ability in points and her stable has a good record in this sphere, so she's marginally preferred to Back In The Bay, who made a positive start under Rules at Worcester last time. Eskimo Sam is also considered.
