2M 1F         7 runners
Jockey:  Joe Colliver        Trainer:  J.Bethell
Weight:  10-11

One of my novice hurdlers who when I first viewed her, won at an extraordinary 80/1. Her last run was respectable and indeed, so was this. She was quite simply out-paced here in a race won by a very good-looking filly. They went off at a fast clip from the tape, favourite Ballybolley led throughout and from the start, broke clear with a couple of horses a few lengths back. There was then another few lengths back to Last Supper. Every time she got close to the second and third horse, they seemed to pull away again. She ended up in 4th, about 10 lengths back, but kept going throughout and didn't disgrace herself.
