SIG Roofing Ltd Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Getaway gelding did well to make a winning debut at Worcester prior to chasing home another promising sort under a penalty at Sedgefield in December. Looks to have plenty about him physically and could improve on the back of a 3-month break.

Frontiersman gelding. Dam (h87), 2½m-3m hurdle winner/winning pointer, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 2m7f) Pressurize. Bred to need time/distance and shaped accordingly on debut at Doncaster in January.

Jeu St Eloi gelding. Dam, unplaced in French bumpers, sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m1f) Val de Ferbet and 2¼m hurdle winner in France As de Ferbet. Purchased for £70,000 after winning a thin-looking Irish point in November and merits a market check on Rules debut.

French Navy colt has shown little in pair of bumpers, latterly on stable debut/reappearance at Wincanton.

€24,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler/chaser He Fitz In (2¾m-3m1f winner). Dam, point winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Ballycullen Boy. Third completed start in points (May 2025) but is likely to need more of a test.

€30,000 3-y-o, £215,000 4-y-o, Crystal Ocean gelding. Dam closely related to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Monalee and high-class chaser Monty's Star. Every chance when fell sole Irish point start in November and with the eventual 1-2 both winning Rules bumpers since, he looks very interesting.

Telescope gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Hidden History. Dam (h115), 2m/2m1f hurdle winner, also 1¾m-2m winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Multellie. Rare bumper runner for yard and hard to be confident.

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m1f) Teescomponents Lad. Ran to a fair level when fifth in second consecutive Wincanton bumper, though he's likely to find a few too good again.

Shirocco mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Pique Rock and fair hurdler Blue Beach. Dam (h87), maiden hurdler (stayed 2m5f), half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (winner around 2m) I'msingingtheblues. Yard's newcomers worth a second look in the betting.

€15,000 3-y-o, Wings of Eagles gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Drop Kick (2½m winner), and half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful chaser Nice To Meet (3m winner, by Sans Frontieres): dam 1½m winner. Looks an unlikely winner on paper.
