10Mares' Hurdle Racecard
Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle (Registered As The David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle) (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
Last year's leading juvenile LOSSIEMOUTH made an explosive reappearance here in the International on Trials Day when proving to be a class apart from Love Envoi. Plenty of superlatives were given out following that display, with some suggesting the Champion Hurdle potentially being the ideal target, but connections have always mapped out their route to this event and there will plenty of long faces in Closutton if she tastes defeat. Ashroe Diamond missed this meeting 12 months ago due to a late setback but ended last season with a Grade 1 success in the Honeysuckle at Fairyhouse and arrives with a victory at Doncaster under her belt. Stepping back up in trip is a positive and she is expected to be a big player. Of the remainder, one who appeals at bigger odds is the unbeaten Lantry Lady. She returned from 11 months off to win the Red Mills at Gowran last month and there could be a fair amount of improvement to come on just her third career start, with the booking of Jack Kennedy another bonus to her chance.
