4.15 SBK Irish EBF Mares Champion Hurdle (Grade 1) 2m 4f 118yd

Ill Raise A Glass: Top marks to connections for being bold enough to enter this 115-rated mare in Grade 1 company, and they will pick up blacktype if one of her rivals fails to fire (which isn’t impossible at this time of year). Still, it’s a massive task to expect her to be any sort of threat to three mares well accustomed to top-level racing.
