Progressed with each run in bumpers, winning at Fontwell in October. Promising start to his hurdle career when second of 13 to a subsequent winner in 2m novice at Hereford (good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Big player with improvement likely.

Left his Newbury debut in March well behind when winning a 13-runner bumper back there 7 months later, despite still showing clear signs of inexperience. Looks to have a lot of raw ability and interesting to see how he gets on over hurdles.

Well held in Newbury bumper and when seventh of 9 in novice at Doncaster (16.5f, good) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Lots more is needed.

Made a winning bumper debut at Worcester in October 2021. Not seen again until pulled up on Chepstow hurdle debut in October but all the sharper for that when second of 15 at Wincanton 6 weeks later. Likely more to come.

Modest handicapper at best on Flat (stays 1¼m) nowadays and struggling for form in that sphere of late. Big outsider now hurdling.

Useful on Flat in France (stays 12.5f) but he has offered little for current yard, including pulling up on C&D hurdle debut in November. Has had wind surgery.

Modest fifth in a Ludlow bumper and Sandown maiden hurdle this autumn. Best to look elsewhere.

Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Black Op and has shown promise in bumpers a year apart, finishing second of 15 at Hereford latterly. Should be up to making an impact in novice hurdles.

Forecasts

Gentleman's Relish (9/4), Court In The Act (11/4), Moon Chime (3/1), Onethreefivenotout (9/2), Sea Invasion (16/1), Wee Tony (16/1), Selwan (50/1), Too Much Hammer (125/1), King Of The Road (125/1), Seattle King (200/1)

Verdict

MOON CHIME was useful in bumpers and is taken to make a successful start to his hurdle career, most likely at the expense of Court In The Act. Nicky Henderson's Gentleman's Relish is another who has shown more than enough in bumpers to think he can make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.
