The Mares Hurdle on the Tuesday of the festival is the final Grade One on the first day of the meeting and this seasons renewal looks set to be one of the best we have ever seen.
It gives the horses the only real chance for them to compete within their own sex at the festival for a bumper £67,524 to the winner.
An ideal mix of speed and stamina is needed but cutting deeper into the trends since the races inception in 2008 could yield the winner of the 2m4f event.
