Leicester Race 3 - Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
THE CISTERCIAN (5) returns from a short break having finished a decent third ahead of two subsequent winners at Galway in September. Now with the Stuart Edmunds stable and rates a major player first-up. Former point-to-point winner ONEFOURNINE (7) looks interesting being a Kalanisi newcomer out of Smart Talk. Rates highly making professional debut. NORTHANGER ABBEY (4) just missed the frame when fourth under Ben Sutton on Southwell debut last month. Further progress likely and makes appeal. LADY DAPPLE ROSE (6) finished second of four over course and distance last month. Open to plenty of improvement. Shortlist.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only had one start last when to post a big 4.5 len win. Curraghmore P2p on October 26 2024 over 4828m defeating Maribeth carrying 60kg in a jumps. Likely improver during that layoff.
