A Fine Young Mare²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: L P Dempsey| T: M Winters| OR: 83

Forecasts

Darkest Flyer (7/2), Tough But Honest (7/2), Whenthewindblows (11/2), Line View (8/1), Oromo (10/1), Global Racing (12/1), Fairymount Boy (12/1), Dixie Highway (14/1), Shouband (14/1), Come Home Quick (16/1), Beautiful Ben (20/1), Eric The Third (20/1), Shine In Dubai (20/1), Carrigready (20/1), Mileys Dream (20/1), Dalmarella Dancer (20/1), Mollymill (20/1), Fleurys Fort (25/1), A Fine Young Mare (33/1), Jeremys Hope (33/1), Island Eddie (33/1)

LINE VIEW won off a higher mark when racing over fences last time out and can make a winning return to hurdles here.
