Connections would have been scratching their head as to how she was beat at Cheltenham in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle but Sixandahalf can get compensation for that loss now here.

Sets the standard on form and should be hard to beat if replicating her Cheltenham Festival effort.

Ran a really nice race at Cheltenham in the Coral Cup, just lacked the pace to have a bigger say, staying on nicely late to claim 6th place.

Shaped like a real stamina test will bring out some improvement on quicker ground and Rachael Blackmore opts to take the ride.

Can outrun his big odds of 18/1.
