Anubhuti

Artemis Kimbo

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

£55,000 3-y-o, Saint Des Saints mare. Dam unraced, closely related to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stays 3¼m) Santini. Newcomers from yard command plenty of respect.

Form:

Flora Paget²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead

22/1

Shaped like a stayer when sixth of 10 in bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy, 40/1) on NH debut 27 days ago, plugging on.

Form: 6

Great Snow

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: N P Mulholland

9/1

Great Pretender mare. Dam, placed over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (prolific winner over 17f-2¾m in France) Le Berry. Yard capable of readying one, so not ruled out.

Form:

Princess Priya⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

22/1

Shaped like a stayer when fourth in a Worcester bumper on debut for Tom Symonds. Failed to progress 9 months on for new yard but worth another chance.

Form: 4-6

River Of Joy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

14/1

Universal mare. Dam (h140) bumper/21f-3m hurdle winner, also 2m winner on Flat. Worth a market check.

Form:

2/1

Martaline mare. Half-sister to 5 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Irish Saint and bumper winner/useful hurdler Welsh Saint. Dam 2m hurdle winner. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Form:

Black Sam Vicki⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

33/1

Bred to need longer trips and shaped in kind when seventh of 8 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 52 days ago, outpaced soon after halfway.

Form: 7

Etoile Brillante

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J E Moore| T: Alexandra Dunn

£15,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (15f-2¼m winner in France) Echiquier Royal.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: James Best| T: Mrs N S Evans

125/1

Offered little when eighth of 11 in bumper at Newbury (12.6f, good to soft, 80/1) on NH debut 99 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Sister Saint (2/1), Artemis Kimbo (3/1), Anubhuti (7/2), Great Snow (9/1), Hedychium (12/1), River Of Joy (14/1), Princess Priya (22/1), Flora Paget (22/1), Black Sam Vicki (33/1), Etoile Brillante (66/1), Pro Annie (125/1)

SISTER SAINT makes plenty of appeal on paper so she edges the vote before market clues. Anubhuti and Artemis Kimbo are a couple of other likely types who require close market attention.
