Arab Moon^t1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: D McCain Jnr| D

20/1

Fairly useful winner up to 2m on the Flat but absent for nearly 3 years prior to a brace of low-key efforts switched to hurdling. Tongue tie on and sure to do better at some point.

Form: 05

Dionysis^h²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: M Weatherer| OR: 98

7/1

Has presumably had his share of problems but did show more starting out for new yard when second of 7 in a C&D novice in July. Hasn't backed that performance up since.

Form: P/4P-203

Immortal Fame³⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T Lacey| BF

12/1

Fame And Glory gelding who failed to meet expectations in a steadily-run bumper at Hereford a year ago. Likely to do better now switched to hurdles.

Form: 5-

Jet Plane¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D SkeltonWS

10/3

Runner-up in Irish points at second attempt in November. Low-key start under Rules having joined a top yard, though he did shape with a little promise at Newton Abbot in April. Has had a wind op.

Form: P/286-

Marias Lad³⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter

40/1

Dam, unreliable 15f-2¾m winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/useful cross-country chaser (stays 4½m) Amazing Comedy. Unplaced sole start in Irish points (Oct 2020).

Form: 5-

Mister Sweets⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: N P Mulholland

11/2

Placed all 3 outings in points and made a reasonable start under Rules when second of 3 in an Aintree novice (24.7f). Failed to back that up here a month later (19.9f) and now back further in trip.

Form: 223/24

Unanswered Prayers¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

3/1

Ex-pointer who hit the ground running under Rules with a good second in a Kempton bumper in February. Not quite at that level a month later but bred to do well over hurdles.

Form: P/2225-

Wolf Run³²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

14/1

Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Generous Day. Bred to be a useful jumper and while he failed to back up his opening bumper run at Newcastle in November, he now tackles hurdles.

Form: 48-

Blended Stealth^h¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

14/1

Walk In The Park half-brother to connection's useful chaser Cogry. Unsurprisingly shaped like a stayer in bumpers but kept to 2m now hurdling.

Form: 778-

Post Chaise¹⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

25/1

First foal, dam unraced sister to temperamental but fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-3m winner) Alderley Rover. Placed sole start in points (Apr 5).

Form: 3-

Samatian¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

10/1

£20,000 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Small World and bumper winner Banjo Davis. Looked in need of the experience in a bumper in April.

Form: 6-

Yambocharlie¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Alan Johns| T: S Allwood

66/1

Gentlewave gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Boomarang and modest hurdler Mythical Legend. Last of 3 but showed some ability on debut in March.

Form: 3-

Dinah Washington²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs F Kehoe

100/1

Placed in a point since a modest Flat career for Michael Bell but looks a handicap project over hurdles.

Form: 4/270-

Ince¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

40/1

Fair form on Flat in France. Off a year and little show both starts over hurdles. In good hands and could be one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 66

Forecasts

Unanswered Prayers (3/1), Jet Plane (10/3), Mister Sweets (11/2), Dionysis (7/1), Samatian (10/1), Immortal Fame (12/1), Wolf Run (14/1), Blended Stealth (14/1), Arab Moon (20/1), Post Chaise (25/1), Ince (40/1), Marias Lad (40/1), Yambocharlie (66/1), Dinah Washington (100/1)

UNANSWERED PRAYERS hails from a successful family and displayed enough in bumpers last term to make him of serious interest now hurdling. The market will reveal plenty, but Jet Plane and Arab Moon are sure to do better in this sphere at some point.
