Listed Wetherby Mares Hurdle Guide 2022

One at a bigger price who may not totally be out of things here. This mare has not had the same amount of experience as some of her other rivals when competing in higher Class events, but she did not disgrace herself last time out in a Class 1 Listed Hurdle at Kempton.

She was third that day only a neck behind the consistent Sebastopol so she can potentially play her part back down in Class.

She will certainly have to come on from her victory at Plumpton on what was her penultimate start in Class 3 company but one not to ignore.

Jockey and trainer won this race last year with this exact mare and will be looking to make it another success this campaign.

She is a very talented individual as she has shown recently by winning the Grade 2 Mares Hurdle at Ascot back in January beating the Willie Mullins trained My Sister Sarah by 1 ¾ lengths.

She pulled up on her penultimate start, but she raced without her hind shoes so that run can be ignored. Steps back down in trip here, but the worthy favourite in what looks quite a competitive five runner field.

Huge threat to all if she can perform on what will be her reappearance run.

The lowest rated mare in this year’s renewal of the Listed Mares Hurdle at Wetherby so she would be a very unlikely winner on this occasion.

She made it 2-2 over 2m1f at Cartmel in Class 3 and Class 2 events but they were fairly weak looking affairs and there is no strong form that can back her chances up here.Will have to show a lot more to be competitive in this sort of field.

A very unlikely challenger.

This 6 year old mare has performed really well so far in her career gaining eight wins from 13 starts.

She has proven she can act on different ground when winning a Class 2 Handicap Hurdle last year on good ground then following up with victory in a Class 1 Mares Hurdle on heavy ground at Sandown.

She was not competitive at the Cheltenham Festival in the Grade 1 Mares Hurdle, but that was a tough ask stepping up in Grade that day.

Back in this company with a small field she has to be fancied to go very close. Big player.

Alan King’s mare has notched up a few second placed finishes in recent efforts and will look to get her head in front here in what is a small field of only five runners.

She prefers the ground to be good or good to soft and it looks like she will get those exact conditions so she cannot be ignored for a trainer in decent early season form.

Last time out she finished 2 ¾ lengths behind the Paul Nicholls trained Sonigino and that horse went and won again a couple of days ago so that form has been franked as he was mightily impressive when winning again.

Not ruled out that is for sure.
