Hunny Moon has won a bumper and two hurdle races but, like A Little Chaos, wasn’t really in the same league as the other three over the smaller obstacles. Little River Bay was on a four-timer in a Grade 2 hurdle at Sandown in February but was never travelling and pulled up. Anythingforlove ground out a victory that day trying this trip for the first time but was earlier almost five lengths behind NADA TO PRADA at Haydock and Michael Scudamore’s mare should have no problem with the switch to fences having already won a point.
A Little Chaos (IRE) 3-1fav (11-11) Prominent, led 3 out, headed last, held final 150 yards, kept on, 3rd of 11, 2 1/4l behind Simply Loveleh (10-11) at Aintree 2m 4f hcp (4) gd in May.
Anythingforlove 18-1 (11-2) Chased leaders and keen, 2nd after 3 out, led before last, stayed on dourly, driven out, won at Sandown 2m 4f (1) hvy in Feb beating Sandymount Rose (11-2) by 2 3/4l, 8 ran.
Hunny Moon 10-3fav (11-7) Tracked leaders, ridden after 3 out, headway before last, led final strides, cosily, won at Perth 2m 4f hcp (4) gs in Apr beating Bellaney Gem (11-7) by shd, 12 ran.
Little River Bay (IRE) 7-4fav (11-2) Tracked leaders on inside, not fluent 2nd, weakened 3 out, tailed off and pulled up before next, at Sandown 2m 4f (1) hvy in Feb.
