Newbury Race 3 - Grahame Church Memorial Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
PRINCESS DAY (7) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Chepstow and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has plenty of early speed. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. THE FLAGGY SHORE (1) Fresh after a break. Made every post a winner to win by a margin of 12L last time in a hurdle at Ffos Las and solid career start. Looks promising in this race. NAN'S CHOICE (6) First up after a 30 week break. Bold effort when winning last time at Aintree and solid career start. Should get going late. Jockey Harry Skelton rates highly. Appears well in this. ROYAL RESPONSE (9) Nicky Henderson 4yo by Getaway having first start. Jockey Nico De Boinville is an asset. Betting is the best guide.

Back after a 29 week break. At $2.38 came in 4th last run at Hexham but was a debutant last start. Should jump out and bowl along. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.
