Mango Cider Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Made the frame in three spring bumpers and again shaped with significant promise when fourth of 15 on last month's hurdling debut at Worcester (2m, good); disappointed when upped to 2m4f at Sedgefield a fortnight later but has a fighting chance if back on song here.

Fourth live foal from half-sister to stable's smart staying chaser Broadway Boy; 11-2 for Hereford bumper in March but ran as though something may have been amiss and was well beaten; makes hurdle debut here.

Shaped quite well before weakening into sixth in good-ground Worcester bumper in July but was well held before final-flight unseat there on last month's hurdling debut and was beaten about 36l there 12 days ago.

Half-sister to stable's useful and very prolific jumper Caius Marcius; runner-up in the last two of her three bumpers last season, more recently at Musselburgh (good to soft) in March; makes hurdling debut after 190-day absence but still features prominently in calculations.

Remote when fifth on Irish point debut in May and showed only minor promise when filling same position in Hexham bumper (good) last month.
