OLBG.com Mares' Hurdle (Warwick)

2.05 Warwick

OLBG.com Mares' Hurdle (Listed) (Class 1)  (4YO plus)
Winner £12,529 - 4 run

Advice: 2.5 pts Glen’s Melody (6/5 Stan James)


Owner detailsGlen’s Melody: Uber consistent mare who was in shadow of Annie Power before taking weak grade 1 at the end of last season; Disappointing in Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham but dropped in class and much more comfortable when tough at the finish of Listed event here when beating Mischievous Milly last time; Can confirm the form.


Owner detailsL’Unique: Looked to have a big future when winning Aintree Grade 1 on the last juvenile start but below that form in two runs this season before break; Reportedly missed work last week, which is worrying, but if back to something like her best, can play a hand here.


Owner detailsMischevious Mille: Took on heavy ground listed event at Taunton and might have been a tad better when close second to Glen’s Melody for all that she was fairly beaten and reposes upon the same terms today, although the extra 2 furlongs should be helpful for her cause.

Owner detailsConfirmed improvement from Huntingdon handicap win and then third behind Glen’s Melody and Mischievous Millie, but now on 3lbs worse terms with the front two and more needed to change that form.



VERDICT: GLEN’S MELODY has been forgotten by many with Annie Power’s rise to glory but she’s a consistent, hardy mare and she has a fine chance of beating Mischievous Millie and Hidden Identity again, and comes here with her wellbeing confirmed, while L’Unique. Classy as she is, has something to prove.
