PANDA Mares Hurdle

Third last time out, and a winner two starts back, Celtic Alliance brings live form to this but 125 days off the track and a trainer firing at just 3% recently give real cause for pause, with 154 lb no help either.

Ranked sixth of seven on our figures and burdened with 157 lb, Ardeen Joy faces a stiff task, and a trainer firing at just 3% in the last fortnight does little to inspire confidence, though she has winning form in recent starts and experience of today's going in her favour.

Daboya arrives here in good heart, a winner last time out just 11 days ago, and she has experience over today's trip and conditions — the chief concern is whether 157 lb at this level stretches her stamina under a testing burden.

Easter Bonnet arrives here on the back of a win 23 days ago, a trainer firing at 31% over the last fortnight, and experience over today's trip and ground — though a hefty 157 lb is the obvious test of whether she can defy the burden.

Fastnet Crystal arrives on the back of a win two starts back and a close second last time out, boasting experience over today's trip and going; carrying 157 lb is the one question, but as the top-rated runner in this field of seven she looks the one to beat.
