Fontwell Park Race 4 - Doyle & Palmer Wealth Management Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
SHOTGUN SHIRLEY (5) was last seen finding one better in a jumpers flat race at Cheltenham nearly four weeks ago. On hurdle debut finds a nice contest and is sure to be thereabouts. POLLYANNA'S DREAM (3) last raced finishing seventh at Cheltenham in November. Anticipated to be in the mix. SHUTFRONTDOOR (6) is another hurdling debutant who was last seen finishing 5.5L second at Market Rasen. Warrants plenty of thought as looks a talented mare. QUEEN'S THEATRE (4) proved a good winner of a jumpers flat at Plumpton when last seen during the spring. Stable going well with their young horses. One to note.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after a year ran on from midfield; finished seventh of 12 starters at Cheltenham in the LR on November 15 over 3300m, on slow going 10 len behind Celestial Tune carrying 71kg at $23. Previously second-up finished third of 11 starters at Ludlow on December 4 2024 over 3200m, 1.5 len behind Jackie Hobbs with 71.5kg at $5.50. Does drop to easier company and looks well placed.
