LAURINA was odds-on for the Grade 2 Mares’ Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham and never gave supporters a moment’s worry. She trounced Alletrix and Dawn Shadow here before that and will be a short price to extend her unbeaten record since joining Willie Mullins, who also runs four others in this. English raider Woolstone One has won three of four starts since joining Emma Lavelle, including a Listed race last time. Lackaneen Leader completed a hat-trick in a Grade 3 11 days ago but this might come too soon after. All of the others would have to improve markedly to trouble the principals.
