This may not be the hardest mares maiden hurdle to win but that hardly makes finding the winner any easier.
Rosie McQueen, Lucca Lady and
Raised On Grazeon have the benefit of recent runs. The latter should improve for the trip and the return from a long layoff, but the form of her hurdling debut looks weak. Jonjo O'Neill's expensive mare, Rosie McQueen, would be the selection judged on her first two runs but her latest effort was so poor it is hard to be confident about her prospects. Lucca Lady has landed a bumper and made a fair start to her career here over hurdles.
Jolie Francine's point-to-form is only moderate but still earns respect at this level but this is probably a good opportunity for
REDEMPTION SONG to make a winning start to her hurdling career. A comfortable winner of a Wetherby bumper and a staying on fifth in a top class mares race at Aintree marks her as potentially being on a different level to these.
