Black Pug Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

€35,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Range, stays 3m. Dam (c111/h108) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Warrants a market check with Harry Cobden booked for debut.

Showed only greenness on bumper debut at Doncaster in January.

Showed nothing in C&D bumper on debut in December.

£65,000 4-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Listen And Learn. Beat only other finisher sole start in points (May 2025) and merits plenty of respect starting out under Rules for leading yard.

£72,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler La Dolce Dolly. Dam (h104) 2½m hurdle winner. Third sole start in Irish points (fourth has placed in maiden hurdle under Rules since) and worth a second look in the betting.

Related to some above-average jumpers and looks cut from the same cloth, not unduly punished when third in Chepstow bumper on debut in December. That race has produced winners and he's the one they have to beat.

€75,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam, well held in bumper, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Tarablaze. In good hands for racecourse bow and market should prove informative.

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Edwardstone (runner-up three times in bumpers) and fair 2m hurdle winner Nothingtochance. Yard know this family well and he's one to note if supported.

Lacked the know-how to justify strong support when fifth of 9 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on debut in November. Could improve for that experience.

Cheap purchase given pedigree and hardly encouraging to see cheekpieces added so quickly, having finished last of 5 on Naas bumper debut.
