Stonepack Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Built upon the promise of her debut run at Down Royal (2m4f, yielding) in December to win by 6l in a big field at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) in February; leading form claims, along with her stablemate Celtic Alliance.

Displayed ability when third in a bumper at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in December but tailed off at Newcastle (2m, AW) next time and same story when 50-1 for recent hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft).

Dam 3m hurdle winner (RPR 89); 500-1 when pulled up on debut in a novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) last November; hard to fancy.

Won Irish mares' maiden point (3m, yielding) on debut last April and ran okay when fifth in Carlisle bumper (2m1f, good) in October; tailed off there (2m1f, soft) the following month; should come good at some point but she's in a warm race for her hurdle debut and others are preferred.

Big odds and unable to pose a threat this year on her three bumper starts (heavy-good to soft); bred to be suited by the step up in trip on hurdle debut but it still seems likely she'll come up short.
