Virgin Bet Best Odds Daily Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

£40,000 buy after finishing runner-up in a pair of Irish points in the spring and looked a good prospect when landing C&D bumper (7/1, good) in November from stablemate, tanking through the race. Faces different conditions here but he can improve and seems sure to figure under a penalty.

£42,000 Shirocco gelding from the family of smart bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Snow Tern. 9/2, made a winning start in Market Rasen bumper in December, the stamina in his pedigree shining through as he battled well to come out on top. Should improve and one to consider.

From a good family and despite being easy to back he shaped really well when second at Chepstow (10/1) on debut in October, a long way clear of the rest, while the winner has made it 2-2 since. Good chance back from a break with improvement likely.

From quite a good family and there was a glimmer of promise at Exeter 2 months ago. Will need to build plenty on that to figure here.

£140,000 buy after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points in March, the winner a promising hurdler for Ted Walsh. From the family of useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stays 21f) Saint Calvados and represents owner/rider 2-7 in bumpers (won on impressive newcomer at Newbury in November).

Dartmouth gelding. Dam fair 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 25f). Stiff introduction.

Half-brother to 2 Flat winners but wasn't doing too much quickly when well held on debut at Aintree in November. Work to do.
