After Midnight⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Jessica Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Smith

100/1

Some late headway when seventh of 12 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 47 days ago. Entitled to build on that but is probably a longer-term prospect.

Form: 7

Anna Of Annandale

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

8/1

Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Master Malt and bumper winner Echo Springs, stayed 3m. One to note on debut.

Form:

Araglen Star²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer

50/1

Merely passed beaten horses when eighth of 13 in bumper (250/1) over C&D (soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Likely to struggle again.

Form: 8

Fortune Forever⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| BF

9/2

Improved from debut effort when third of 18 in Warwick bumper on penultimate start. Unsuited by emphasis on speed when fifth at same course since and sets the standard on form here.

Form: 435

Madam Ryder

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Henderson

4/1

€58,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (barely stayed 3m) Lac Fontana. Yard has a fine strike rate in bumpers.

Form:

Miss Controversia

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ruth Jefferson

14/1

Milan mare. Closely related to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Burtons Well. Dam unraced.

Form:

Pepite De Amour

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Nailor| T: P R Webber

40/1

Telescope mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Jubilympics and fair hurdler Pepite de Belle. Dam 2m-19f hurdle winner. Market should prove best guide to claims on debut.

Form:

Sister Julienne⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

12/1

Posted fair efforts both starts thus far, latest when second of 6 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good, 10/3) 56 days ago, running green. Enters calculations.

Form: 32

Stuti³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison

10/3

Makes appeal on pedigree and duly showed ability when fourth of 12 in bumper at Newbury (16.3f, good to firm, 15/2) on NH debut 39 days ago. Should have learnt plenty from that.

Form: 4

Looking As You Are

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: A M Hales

10/1

Passing Glance filly. Dam, modest 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 21f) Big Jim. Yard has had a couple of bumper winners this term so worth a second look in the market on debut.

Form:

Wyenot

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: H D Daly

11/2

£31,000 3-y-o, Schiaparelli filly. Closely related to useful chaser Everlastingpromise, and half-sister to 2 winners, including useful 2m/19f hurdle winner Nada To Prada. Another interesting newcomer.

Form:

Forecasts

Stuti (10/3), Madam Ryder (4/1), Fortune Forever (9/2), Wyenot (11/2), Anna Of Annandale (8/1), Looking As You Are (10/1), Sister Julienne (12/1), Miss Controversia (14/1), Pepite De Amour (40/1), Araglen Star (50/1), After Midnight (100/1)

FORTUNE FOREVER had excuses at Warwick last time and is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Sister Julienne looks the main danger on form, whilst Madam Ryder may be the pick of an interesting bunch of newcomers.
