DANZINI is fancied to continue improving for trainer Keiran Burke in the Cazoo Mares’ Handicap Hurdle (3.30) at Worcester.
The six-year-old mare put in a feisty effort to win a seven-runner handicap hurdle over an extended three miles at Southwell last month, having been relieved of the lead entering the straight. She then fought back after the last and ran on to win by a length and a half ahead of Taras Boy.
Notched up 3lb for that victory, she meets the same rival who is also 2lb better off, but this race over two miles and seven furlongs is well within range.
Lightly-raced FESTIVE GLORY showed promise when a nine-length second on his hurdle debut at Uttoxeter in a class three novice event. It was a quiet introduction but the winner, Presentandcounting, has gone on to score again in style and the third home also visited the winners’ circle on his next outing.
The six-year-old can go one better in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Maiden Hurdle (2.30) over two miles and seven furlongs for Fergal O’Brien, who has been rattling in the winners in recent days.
