Festival sale graduate The Glancing Queen back with Cheltenham win

The Glancing Queen is developing quite the relationship with Cheltenham's winner's enclosure.

Back in March, the daughter of the late Jeremy was bought for £80,000 by Highflyer Bloodstock and Alan King at the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham Festival Horses-In-Training Sale, having been offered by Colin Bowe's Milestone Stables.

Barely more than eight months to the day later she was back, only this time it was to receive the applause of a large Cheltenham crowd having won the Listed Karndean Mares' Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race.

Sent off at odds of 16-1, The Glancing Queen scored by a length and three quarters from Mega Yeats, who was bought for £60,000 by Bobby O'Ryan and Ruth Jefferson from Monbeg Stables at the Goffs UK Spring Horses-In-Training Sale.

"It was a smart performance," said jockey Wayne Hutchinson. "We liked her at home but thought we'd be happy if she finished in the first four or five in a race of this nature.

"I was very taken by her and we might just have stick down the bumper route, as the likely plan had be to go over hurdles. She picked up really well and by halfway up the run-in I thought she might get there."
