Hereford Race 2 - Dragonbet The Roar Before Is Coming Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
MOLTEN SEA (9) performed to a fair level on the flat winning three occasions up to 3200m. Joins a good National Hunt stable and there is every chance she will take to obstacles. Looks the one to beat. MADAME LA PAPILLON (7) placed second providing both hurdling attempts racing for a new trainer and under the rider. May go one better among this company. LYRICAL CHOICE (6) performed well in two flat races prior to midfield placings delivering a pair of hurdle outings. Each way player. Dual point-to-point winner JUST A GLANCE (5) was second against a big field making rules debut. May get involved if fit upon return.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after three months finished sixth of 16 runners at Warwick on January 23 over 3800m, 25 len behind Jackie Hobbs carrying 72kg at $8. Previously second-up won by a head Wexford on October 26 over 3218m defeating Lady Lena with 72.5kg at $5.50 in a flat. Has the ability to turn things around.

Freshened for 36 days. Last run finished fifth of 14 runners at Taunton on January 17 over 3300m, 10 len behind Heron In The Park carrying 71.5kg at $21. The start before that; finished fifth of 12 starters at this track on December 10 over 3250m, 22 len behind Soomaroy carrying 68.5kg at $23. Doesn't rate well enough against this field to figure in the finish.
