Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

8/11

€3,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam (c134/h124), 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Clan Tara. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt in April and well suited by emphasis on stamina when making winning hurdles bow over 22f at Stratford 3 weeks ago.

Form: 41-1

Don't Rightly Know⁷⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Chloe Emsley⁽⁷⁾| T: P Gundry

7/1

Point winner who left Rules debut behind when runner-up back from 14 months off in 22.2f Uttoxeter novice in December 2021, rallying for second run-in. Off a further 23 months so clearly been difficult to train.

Form: 182/

Hamartia¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112| BF

11/2

Placed twice in maiden company in Ireland for Colm Murphy. Fell when last seen in July but this looks a reasonable starting point for her British career. Up in trip.

Form: 462-3F

Kayf Hope^t1²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: T Gallagher

28/1

Cost £55,000 after winning an Irish point in November. Too keen to last out in a Southwell bumper in March and must settle upped markedly in trip for hurdles debut.

Form: 2210-

Von Hallers^t1³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

7/2

Presenting mare who is a half-sister to bumper winner/fair 19f hurdle winner Blue Hop. Winner of the second of her 2 starts between the flags and still in contention when departing through no fault of her own on hurdles bow last month. Tongue tie on.

Form: P/1-U

Nomoreblackjack²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke

80/1

Third on first of 2 starts in points but looks a low-level handicap project judged on level achieved under Rules so far.

Form: 3-857

Forecasts

Getaway Theatre (8/11), Von Hallers (7/2), Hamartia (11/2), Don't Rightly Know (7/1), Kayf Hope (28/1), Nomoreblackjack (80/1)

Stamina is clearly GETAWAY THEATRE's forte following a gritty win on hurdles debut at Stratford 3 weeks ago and, kept to her own sex, she's capable of successfully defying a penalty. Hamartia is bred to stay well so is feared upped in trip starting out for a new yard, while Von Hallers will hopefully show what she's capable of this time.
