Follow The Moon¹⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr C J Daniels⁽⁷⁾| T: I Madden

6/1

Successful six times in point-to-points and ran well to finish 13L second to Cheltenham contender Burning Ambition in a similar race to this over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (heavy) in December. Fair effort since and one for the shortlist today.

Form: 55-4123

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: J T R Dreaper

7/1

Winner of two point-to-points in 2016 but struggled in two starts since finishing runner-up in a hunter chase at Wexford (soft-to-heavy) in November of that year. One to note in this contest.

14/1

Broke his maiden at the 19th time of asking under all codes when winning a maiden on yielding-to-soft ground at Belharbour earlier this month. This looks much tougher however.

9/10

Winner of two of his three point-to-point starts so far most recently on heavy ground at Aghabullogue last month on his return from nearly two years off the track. Remains open to improvement and is less exposed than most in this contest.

Forecasts

Timewaitsfornoone (9/10), Allannahs Gold (4/1), Follow The Moon (6/1), Sizingdowntherhine (7/1), Senators Glory (8/1), Thinkinginmysleep (14/1), Tj Goodtymes (16/1)

Trainer Alan Fleming's TIMEWAITSFORNOONE can register his third victory in succession by taking this concluding maiden hunters chase. The selection justified odds-on favouritism last time out and can see off the more exposed Follow The Moon, who was placed in a similar contest to this earlier in the season. Sizingdowntherhine is another to have placed in a hunter chase in the past and he can finish third on this occasion.
