Kempton Park Race 1

Virgin Bet Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

GOLD CAST (7) got off the mark over hurdles winning narrowly by a neck on final start in France at Auteuil before transferring to a new UK stable pulling up in the Listed Fillies Juvenile Hurdle at Newbury. Can bounce back. BURNING EMBERS (1) finished sixth providing first career appearance contesting a jumpers flat race at Ascot four weeks ago. Represents a leading yard. Interesting making hurdle debut. JOLLIE DAME (3) placed twice the first three starts all in jumpers flat races including when third at Warwick. Worth considering making hurdle debut. SHUTFRONTDOOR (6) might improve after falling on first hurdle outing.
