Laravie
Four-time hurdle winner who has won her last two Flat races, comfortably defying a penalty at the expense of Zimmerman at Catterick (2m, good); 6lb rise isn't the end of the world, especially in view of her hurdling ability.

From the connections
“The step up in trip for Laravie has suited. She was well-handicapped on her hurdle form, but I think she has plenty of wins left in her over hurdles. She just loves quick ground, but unfortunately, she might have to go to the sales. I'm going to do my best to try and keep her - James Owen, trainer.”
“Laravie is a really nice filly and having the visor equipped to her has helped. That was the best she has jumped today and Sean [Bowen, jockey] gets on really well with her. We did try her in cheekpieces before, but I just think she needed a break when we got her from Ireland more than anything. She will upgrade as she goes up in trip. Unfortunately, there is not any race for her now in the English programme until the winter. We are going to give her a little break and go to either Limerick or Cork in October for a Listed fillies' hurdle race and we will try and get some black type with her. We thought about it the other day that if she won today we would then try and get some black type with her before the winter - James Owen, trainer.”
