Next Raceday 16th February 'Junior' NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Jack Hobbs gelding. Brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Barrabool. Dam little show in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 3m) On Raglan Road and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Overthetop. Yard has the odd bumper winner, so shouldn't be overlooked.

£34,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Prolific Profile. Dam (c86/h104), maiden jumper (stayed 3m), sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-2¾m winner) Pressies Girl. Would enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.

The Grey Gatsby gelding. Dam 8.5f winner on Flat in USA, from good Flat family. Yard does well with its newcomers in bumpers, so must be taken seriously.

Showed promise when fourth of 8 in a Newcastle bumper on debut on debut in November. Showed considerably less sent hurdling at Haydock since and now reverted to a bumper.

€75,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Half-brother to French 2¼m hurdle winner Lord Blagny and French hurdler Kalamata. Dam (h106) ran once over hurdles in France. Newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

Cokoriko gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including French hurdle winner/chaser Kasadepapel. Dam multiple 1½m bumper winner in France. Offered something to work on in a tongue strap for debut when fourth of 8 in Wetherby bumper 59 days ago.

Success Days gelding. Dam (h103), 21f hurdle winner, half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Fire In His Eyes. Bred more for stamina than speed.
