Fraser Cup Maiden Hunters' Chase

Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 5m 33.50s

Buy Some Time^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Joe Wright⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith

13/2

Arrives on the back of 2 point wins this spring. Respected newcomer to the hunter chase ranks.

Form: 62PP1-1

Great Colewood³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Chloe Emsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Edward William Walker

5/2

Winning pointer who ran to a fair level when fifth of 11 at Chepstow on his hunter debut (3m, good) a month ago. That was a competitive race and he's probably the one to beat dropped to a maiden.

Form: 22/1345-

Il Padrino^v1⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Paddy Barlow⁽⁵⁾| T: L Bevin

25/1

Winning pointer but recent efforts not inspiring. A watching brief is advised on hunter debut.

Form: P/UF5-53

Rufio^h,t⁷⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Lucy Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss L Brown| OR: 98

33/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Harry Fry earlier in his career. Dual point winner under Lucy Brown in spring 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence.

Form: 754211/

Ultra Viers^h,t⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Stevenson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Taylor| OR: 90

22/1

No match for an odds-on favourite in a similar event at Leicester in February. Came in last of 6 finishers in points last time (Mar 30). Likely he'll come up short.

Form: 2PFD26-

Unexpected Edge^t1³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Sean P O'Connor⁽⁵⁾| T: Dean Coleman

7/2

Comfortably off mark on completed start in points (Apr 21). Interesting runner on hunter debut.

Form: FP1-

Willewonga⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Roach

9/4

Multiple point winner, including latest start 8 days ago. Pulled up on his previous attempt in a hunter, though.

Form: 63/25P-1

Hollywood Harmon⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Wilson

14/1

Poor form over hurdles for Sam England last season. Was runner-up in a point recently but others are still preferred now tackling her first hunter.

Form: 88PP-62

She Is The Enemy⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Nick Orpwood⁽³⁾| T: N Sanderson

50/1

Has made the frame in points but tailed-off seventh on last month's Kelso hunter debut. Outsider.

Form: 537-224

Non-Runners

Bellaney Lord⁴⁴

Weight: 12-0| Age: 8

T: W Easterby J: Mr Thomas Easterby

Forecasts

Willewonga (9/4), Great Colewood (5/2), Bellaney Lord (7/2), Unexpected Edge (7/2), Buy Some Time (13/2), Hollywood Harmon (14/1), Ultra Viers (22/1), Il Padrino (25/1), Rufio (33/1), She Is The Enemy (50/1)

The level GREAT COLEWOOD achieved in a decent hunter at Chepstow last month might be good enough in this maiden. Point winners Buy Some Time, Unexpected Edge and Bellaney Lord may give him most to think about.
