Hereford Race 1 - Supporting Home Run Hounds North West Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
NEON DREAM (4) made it back-to-back placings when second of twelve over course and distance last month with Tom Bellamy aboard. Looks poised to go one better for the in-form Alan King stable. Serious player. BALLYMOREEN (10) rallied then was able to keep on well to record a head victory in a Wexford jumpers flat before switching to the Emma Lavelle yard. Just missed the frame here tackling latest and rates a main danger up in trip. Point-to-point winner UNTAPPED POTENTIAL (7) is a son of the four-time G1 winning Conduit out of Degenerous making first career outing for Henry Oliver. Respect. ELUSIVE PB (1) maintains place chances.
