Forest Natalee became the sixth member of the brilliant Ballymac Vic/Droopys Danneel litter to win an open at Swindon on Tuesday.

The Kevin Hutton trained dark brindle made it sixth time lucky when clocking the fastest sprint of the year, 16.26. She is the first of the females to win an open; the brothers are Forest Con, and ‘Dorotas’ Hooligan, Wildcat, Del Mar and Woo Hoo. Between them they have 17 victories.

Still to make a mark are Dorotas Danneel and Dorotas Vic with eight open attempts between them and Ballyeel Lady, currently contesting A2 at Newcastle. The litter do not reach adult status until May.
