Richard And Ann Hitchings Memorial Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Qualifier) (GBB Race) (Div II)
🤖 AI race preview
The race is likely to be contested under soft to good going, with a tempo that could see early leaders emerge from the front or midfield, though several runners have shown resilience in soft conditions. Lune Brillante stands out on form, having secured a win at Huntingdon in soft ground and consistently showing headway and staying on in later stages despite being held up, with a recent top-three finish at Sandown under similar conditions and a strong class record in Cl1 company; her draw of 5 and consistent performance in tough going make her a hard-to-oppose contender. The main dangers are Sapphos Word, who led in two recent runs and showed early strength, and Pearl Cove, who has been prominent in recent outings and has a strong record in the latter stages of races, though her form has dipped in the last few weeks. Each-way players at the forecast price include Wet Sail and Nuala Rocket, both with recent starts in softer ground and a potential to challenge from the rear. Formula ref Zibuteldris.
