Final Fixture 15th December Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

€23,000 3-y-o, £48,000 4-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Dam, well held in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Resolution Bay. Beat only other finisher sole start in points (Mar 2024). Starts out under Rules for a thriving stable.

Modest form in 2 bumpers this time last year, put in his place in a match over C&D when last seen 12 months ago. Has something to find.

€25,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler The Priests Leap, stays 2¼m. fifth sole start in Irish points (Mar 2024).

Arctic Cosmos gelding. Dam unraced, from family of very smart 2m/2½m chaser The Outback Way. Likely to need time.

Related to a bumper winner but showed nothing on debut 7 months ago. Hard to fancy.

€40,000 3-y-o, £105,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to multiple jumps winner in USA Two's Company and useful hurdler/chaser Scorpion Sid. Runner-up only outing in Irish points (Nov 2023). Stable does well with similar types in this sphere and he's a most notable newcomer.

Youmzain gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Ballyoisin. Worthy of respect on debut based on breeding, acknowledging he might need some time.

£115,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 2¾m) She Ranks Me. One to note based on connections.
