Adept GRP Cabinets 'Newcomers' NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

3YO to 5YO | Class 5 | 1m 7f 182y | 5 Runners | Turf

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

Out of a 2½m-3m hurdle winner, herself ahalf-sister to fair hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Special Token and useful chaser (stayed 23f) Pressurize. Yard's record in bumpers isn't particularly compelling, but he needs a close look in the betting with Sean Bowen booked.

Kiptanuy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: W J Burke

Jeu St Eloi gelding. Brother to fairly useful 15f French hurdle winner Sainte Candy. Winning bumper performers/newcomers are a rarity for this yard, but Irish raiders always command respect and the betting should be illuminating where this one is concerned.

Lancier Des Obeaux

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall

Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Label des Obeaux. Probably more one for further down the line.

Malinaero

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams

£24,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam, fairly useful 2m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Locker Room Talk. Yard is hardly a frequent source of bumper winners, but it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting all the same.

Nez Vert

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

Night Wish gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Le Gene Bleu. Dam, 17f hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler (17f/2¼m winner) Sleeping Mat. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Forecasts

Kiptanuy (11/8), Dukeboxrock (5/2), Nez Vert (4/1), Malinaero (6/1), Lancier Des Obeaux (16/1)

With no form to go on the betting should prove informative. NEZ VERT represents respected connections and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Malinaero and Dukeboxrock rate the main dangers in that order of preference, but Irish raider Kiptanuy is also interesting.
