Changing Young Lives At Jamie's Farm Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race)

Only fifth behind Jubilee Alpha at Taunton in December but had that rival behind (and others in here) when fifth of 23 in the Grade 2 for mares here at the Festival; that form entitles her to every chance and this longer trip looks favourable.

Eyecatching effort in a Listed race on hurdling debut and went on to win her next two, with Bluey and Metkayina among her victims; carried plenty of stable confidence in the Grade 2 for mares here in March but after momentarily threatening she faded away disappointingly; has a penalty back at Listed level and now has to prove that she doesn't need flat tracks; still much respected over a new trip she's bred to stay.

Point-to-point bumper winner; has run respectably in two novice hurdles for mares but couldn't win either and this is much harder.

A front-runner who has won two minor races but was perhaps flattered to finish within 2l of Jubilee Alpha at Windsor in January and she was pulled up in a Grade 2 here at the Festival; she'll stay okay but may come up short.

Jubilee Alpha has her number on previous clashes, including here in March when the Nicholls mare was below her best; up against it at these weights.
