Newton Abbot Race 7 - Racing To School Reaches 25 Years Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
PARK HALL (3) wears a hood on debut for Dan Skelton and was a 0.5L winner of her point to point in Ireland five weeks ago. Only recently changed hands but should make the perfect start to racing in this country. BLINDED BY GRACE (1) had to fight when getting off the mark providing second outing at Uttoxeter. Feared. UNFLAPPABLE (6) wasn't disgraced debuting here last month. May take a big step forward providing this second attempt. Declared to run at Worcester on Thursday. POPPYCAT (4) doesn't hail from a yard known for success in these races however is one to watch very closely as she is the half-sister to two-time Grand National winner Tiger Roll.

Four-year-old filly by Poet's Word out of Passionate Lady has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
