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

£28,000 5-y-o, Doyen mare. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 27f) Speed Master. Runner-up sole start in Irish points earlier this year and went one place better on hurdles debut a month ago. That race ultimately cut up but she is capable of better.

£35,000 5-y-o. Arctic Cosmos mare. Dam, point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Dr Des. Easily off mark in Irish points at third attempt in April and overcame greenness when making winning hurdle debut at Bangor. Found out in a better race at Cheltenham but she retains potential.

Fetched £120,000 after landing an Irish maiden point last year and promising start under Rules when runner-up in a mares' novice at Perth (16.2f, soft) in April. Open to improvement so may well go one better on return upped in trip.

Half-sister to poor hurdler West Lawn (23f winner). Dam, 21f hurdle winner (stayed 3¾m). Placed on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Apr 2).

:£95,000 4-y-o, Notnowcato mare. Dam 3m hurdle winner. Cosy winner of Irish point last November and shaped like a stayer when thirds= over 2m on last month's Rules debut. Upped in trip so has to be of interest.
