Verdict

LAURINA holds a prominent place in the ante post betting for the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival next month; and is also a warm order for the mares only race at Prestbury Park too. This looks to be an ideal stepping stone to put the ultra-tough mare cherry ripe for the Festival and she is very hard to oppose here. Stablemate Stormy Ireland already holds a couple of these and can make sure the selection has a stiff test; while Good Thyne Tara can do her bit to make this another profitable visit to Punchestown for 'Team Mullins', which has won the last two renewals of this race.
