EMMPRESSIVE LADY is taken to complete a hat-trick of wins in the Manor Elite Horseboxes Mares' Handicap Hurdle (3.40) at Hereford.
The Sue Gardner-trained seven-year-old was a dual winner in mares’ events last season and progressed to land a three-mile Kempton handicap in good style in December.
She followed up over two miles seven furlongs under Sean Houlihan at Exeter on Sunday, beating Coeur Serein by three and three-quarter lengths.
And the daughter of Jeremy should be even more suited by the three-mile, two-furlong trip of Wednesday's contest, where she can bring her stamina into play.
Reunited with Houlihan, my selection looks sure to go close again under a penalty.
Later on the card, SHOMEN UCHI (4.45) is the pick in the Cazoo Open National Hunt Flat Race.
The five-year-old, trained by Sam Thomas, was beaten only a neck on his racecourse debut at Wincanton in December.
The winner, Shallow River, subsequently ran out an impressive winner at Huntingdon last month.
A half-brother to three scorers, he is sure to come on for his debut experience and is assisted in the saddle by in-form Charlie Deutsch, who can seemingly do no wrong at the moment.
