Broadway Honey

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

11/2

Zambezi Sun mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Broadway Boy. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for a stable which enjoys plenty of bumper success.

Form:

Celestron Star⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

18/5

22/1, never better than midfield when sixth of 12 in bumper at Wincanton on debut 51 days ago.

Form: 6

Dellahay³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis

12/1

Modest form both starts and likely vulnerable again.

Form: 75

Dream County³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

10/1

10/1, fifth of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (heavy) on debut 37 days ago. Stable also runs Broadway Honey.

Form: 5

Everlasting Pearl

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales

20/1

Scorpion mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Ceara Be. Dam 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 1½m-1¾m winner on Flat. The stable has a 7-68 bumper record in the last 5 seasons.

Form:

Issadora

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring| T: P C Dando

125/1

Linda's Lad mare. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, winner around 2m on Flat. Likely outsider on debut.

Form:

Jammy Jay²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans

66/1

40/1, seventh of 8 on C&D debut (good to soft) 24 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 7

Kill The Groove²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: B Pauling

12/1

In good hands but no obvious promise on Warwick debut 4 weeks ago.

Form: 3-U0

Unparked^h⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

6/1

Hooded, 23½ lengths seventh of 8 to Supreme Malinas in listed bumper at Huntingdon (heavy) on debut 90 days ago. This is a more realistic assignment.

Form: 7

Uptown Lass⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

6/1

Sent off at 22/1 and failed to land a blow when trailing in last of 8 in a listed bumper at Huntingdon (heavy) in December. The fact she was pitched in at that level on debut suggests she'd been giving the right signals at home. Could prove a different proposition now.

Form: 8

Vera Hobbs³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 12 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 30 days ago.

Form: 86

Gaelic Saint³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds

9/2

Promising type. 7/2, third of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (heavy) on NH debut 37 days ago. Sets the standard with improvement likely.

Forecasts

Celestron Star (18/5), Gaelic Saint (9/2), Jazzoon (5/1), Broadway Honey (11/2), Uptown Lass (6/1), Unparked (6/1), Dream County (10/1), Dellahay (12/1), Kill The Groove (12/1), Vera Hobbs (14/1), Everlasting Pearl (20/1), Indigo Blu (33/1), Jammy Jay (66/1), Issadora (125/1)

GAELIC SAINT is given a chance to build on her promising first effort at Wincanton. Nicky Henderson's Uptown Lass found a listed bumper too much on debut but could easily fare a lot better with her sights lowered, particularly if the betting speaks in her favour. Broadway Honey is an interesting newcomer.
