Fakenham Race 2 - Bruce Towers & Sons Mechanical Engineers Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
ALIBEY (5) finished runner up on her last three performances and is long overdue a change of fortune. Recent effort at Plumpton came last week and she has plenty of upside. DANCING DAME (2) remains a maiden after twelve outings. Leaves Ireland to join a stable who can turn round a horses fortunes quickly and warrants respect especially if the market speaks in her favour. SKYE GLANCE (4) has struggled to date in three outings attempting flat events. Now goes hurdling and might be open to plenty of improvement. NEVER TOLD ME (3) was given wind surgery since finishing second at Newton Abbot last August. Respect.
