bet365 Doncaster Mares' Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race)

Won three in a row in April-June and back on the up with a 3m1f Catterick success three weeks ago; all those wins were gained on good ground so today's likely softer surface is an unknown but probably capable of better again for a stable which continues in good form.

Smart mare who is a dual Listed winner (2m5f/2m); respectable fourth of eight to Wodhooh in 2m3f Ascot Grade 2 (good to soft) three weeks ago; the one to beat.

Won a Listed race at Kelso in March on her first attempt at 3m and has actually achieved better form in defeat in handicap company in her three outings since; no reason why she won't give her running again but has a bit to find with Kateira.

Won a pair of Listed novice hurdles last season, including over C&D on good to soft; better than ever when successful in 2m6f Ballinrobe handicap (soft) in September and another good effort at Listed level when runner-up at Limerick (2m7f, good to yielding) in October; should give her running but an on-song Kateira would likely have a bit much for her.

Has been an improved performer since wind surgery at the start of the year, winning good-ground handicaps at Wincanton (3m) and Stratford (3m2f) in the spring; fine runner-up finish upped to Listed level at Kempton (2m5f, good again) 19 days ago but this looks a stronger race of its type and the ground would be a question mark should conditions remain on the soft side.
