There looks to be a maiden hurdle to savour at Punchestown on Monday as a relation of legendary hurdler Faugheen takes on a €310,000 purchase from the Gordon Elliott stable.
Maughreen is already ante-post favourite for the Mares Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. “We’re in against a very good mare in Familiar Dreams, she’s won four bumpers and two of them have been black type, so it will take a fair performance to beat the likes of her.“The race has thrown up some nice mares over the last couple of runnings and she’s back to where she won her bumper.
But Maughreen might not have her own way on hurdles debut is a €310,000 purchase from the Elliott yard.
