Virgin Bet Supports Safe Gambling Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Dam, French hurdler/chaser (2½m-21f winner), a half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f-19f winner) Dentor des Obeaux. One to note in the betting.

€10,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam (h72), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Shoot First. Didn't show a great deal in 2 starts between the flags last year and probably best watched on Rules debut. Tongue strap applied.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Ryedale Racer and fair hurdler Lady Babs. Debut sixth in a 12-runner Catterick bumper wasn't devoid of promise and he should come on for that run.

Berkshire gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Lisheen Prince. Interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting for yard with an 18% strike rate in bumpers in recent years.

Robin Du Nord gelding. Dam, French hurdler/chaser (17f-21f winner), half-sister to French hurdle winner/chaser (17f-23f winner) Chicname de Cotte. Failed to complete on 3 of his 4 starts in maiden points, but was runner-up in one in October and merits respect on Rules debut.

€9,000 3-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam 1½m bumper winner in France. Off the mark at third attempt in points last month and will be of interest on Rules debut if the market vibes are positive.

€11,000 3-y-o, Libertarian gelding. Dam 2½m/21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 23f). Well held on his completed start between the flags, but worth a second look in the betting all the same.
