Fakenham Race 3

Heritage House Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Stake: $33,764

MIGHTY FLEUR (7) returned at big odds with a strong Haydock second over 4900m. That effort suggests she is ready to go one better. Leading contender eased markedly in distance. KERNIE D'AIRY (3) made an encouraging hurdle debut when runner-up at Hereford after attracting market support. Another bold showing is expected. LADIES DAY (4) mixed racing codes in recent starts and is worth giving another chance now reverting to obstacles where she can improve. LADY KARA (5) also resumed with a solid Stratford second attempting 3300m. With that performance under her belt she looks a major player again. In the mix.
