Hereford Race 2 - Dragonbet Born From The Betting Ring Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
GOLDEN DE COEUR (3) was narrowly defeated a neck runner-up over 3200m at this venue most recently. Finds a suitable contest to go one better advancing in journey. DON VIRGINIA (2) registered a neck second tackling track and trip last time. Likely to improve. CHANELLE NOIR (4) finished 9L fourth on the flat at Musselburgh two starts back. Capable of progress. GILLYS LASS (5) might fill fourth spot.

Third-up today. Resuming finished sixth of 7 runners at Wincanton on March 24 over 3000m, 75 len behind Zaochen Enki with 72.5kg at $9. Last start ran last in a small field at Taunton on April 23 over 3800m, 38 len behind Handlethekettle with 70kg at $51. This no easier and will need to improve further to feature.

Racing well. Last outing finished second of 12 starters at this track on April 22 over 3200m, a neck behind Military Alliance carrying 71.5kg at $3.80. Race before finished third of 9 runners at Wetherby on February 26 over 3900m, on slow going 23 len behind Konfusion with 76kg at $8.50. Continues to make headway. Key chance and can find winning form.

Last start finished fifth of 9 starters at Chepstow on April 25 over 3200m, 21 len behind Courageous Strike with 68.5kg at $26. Before that finished fourth of 7 runners at Musselburgh on March 21 over 3500m, 9 len behind Chanonry Point carrying 71kg at $6. Go close. Certainly worth including.
