188bet.co.uk EBF (AW) Mares' Standard NH Flat Race (Conditional Jockeys And Amateur Riders)

One of these nine mares will be the first ever winner of a Newcastle bumper on Tapeta, and whilst that's largely insignificant to most it's probably a small piece of Newcastle racing history that local owner Dave Armstrong (saddles Donnas Dream) would treasure. The market should prove informative with regards the majority of these runners, with support surely telling for debutantes Sweet Vinetta and Hills of Connemara. However, without that knowledge available at present, the penalised and first time hooded STRIKE THE POSE gets a tentative nod. She refused to settle in a Listed contest at Huntingdon on Boxing Day, but she's better than that bare form, and will be no stranger to this artificial surface, as it also lies in situ at her trainers base at Langholm.
