Hereford Race 2 - Wye Valley Asparagus Mares' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
BELLAS BRIDGE (1) ran well ten days ago when 3L second in this hurdle grade over 3800m at Chepstow. Can continue improving. Serious player. VERSACE TWENTYONE (7) placed 1.5L second in a 3200m maiden hurdle here three starts back last October. Respect on best form. LARA KALEO (8) showed promise on rules debut when 8L third in a 3200m juvenile maiden hurdle at this track. Holds plenty of appeal. LITTLE MILLER (5) might make the frame.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, finished ninth of 12 runners at Taunton on January 18 over 3300m, 88 len behind Northern Air with 71.5kg at $17. Second-up pulled up at Huntingdon on February 20 over 4100m. This looks a bridge too far.
