Trainer Harry Fry is praying for rain to allow Unowhatimeanharry to make his seasonal reappearance in the coming weeks.

Snapped up by leading owner JP McManus after completing a five-timer in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, the eight-year-old was due to make his comeback in the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby on Saturday.

However, Fry decided against an appearance due to the unseasonably quick ground.

He said: "We're just waiting on the rain to come and the ground to change.

"After missing Wetherby we thought about running in France this weekend, but he won't go there.

"There's also a race at Aintree on Saturday, but we're not even going to enter him a looking at the weather forecast, it doesn't look like it's going to change much.
