Fakenham Race 3 - Heritage House Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
LADY KARA (5) comes off a strong 2nd at Stratford over 3282m, beaten 2.74L, and has been consistently in the placings this season. MERELY A DETAIL (6) was just behind in 3rd in the same race and has four placings from her last five starts. MIGHTY FLEUR (7) is also a key chance, finishing 2nd at Haydock over 4881m last start and rarely missing the placings. LADIES DAY (4) has solid form at this level with multiple seconds, though was unplaced in a Grade 2 at Aintree last time. KERNIE D'AIRY (3) was runner-up at Hereford over 3957m and is lightly raced with upside. BLUE'S SECRET GEM (1) and JOHNNY'S BELLE (2) have placed recently but need to improve to match the leading hopes.
