Can Cheltenham winner Found On make it six in a row in Bangor's Listed feature?

Wednesday: 1.25 Bangor
Yorton Stallions Mares' Novices' Chase (Listed) | 2m1½f | 4yo+ | Sky

Found On produced one of the most impressive performances from a mare all season when bolting up at Cheltenham last month to make it five chase wins on the spin and a reproduction of that performance would probably be good enough for her to land this Listed event.

The one remaining question mark hanging over her is the distance. Found On hasn't been seen over a trip this short since September last year and all of her best form has come over further. So does she have the pace to cope with the sharper test?

She certainly didn't look short of speed when going around on springs at Cheltenham and her fluent fencing should stand her in good stead. It will be a surprise if she gets done for pace.

Dan Skelton won this in 2016 with Stephanie Frances and he probably saddles the biggest danger in Galia Des Liteaux, who won a maiden point and finished third in a Listed hurdle at Perth when last seen in April. She is returning from 203 days off the track, though, and is unlikely to be as fit as stablemate Dazzling Glory.

Dazzling Glory probably won't be good enough to win, but a place isn't beyond the realms of possibility and that could be a valuable asset for her future prospects as a broodmare.

What they say

Sheila Lewis, trainer of Cotton End
She's schooled well at home, we're really happy with her. I'm chucking her in a bit but we thought we'd give it a go. She lost her form last year over hurdles but we never really found anything, maybe she got a bit high in the handicap.

Dan Skelton, trainer of Dazzling Glory and Galia Des Liteaux
Dazzling Glory has been on the go all summer and has a big task on the weights. I was obviously quite irritated that Sandown was off when she had a chance of picking up black type. We're just going to get on and run her here even though her numbers are wrong. Galia Des Liteaux definitely wants further but it's a good starting point.

Martin Keighley, trainer of Found On
She's come out of Cheltenham really well. That was a great performance so she deserves her chance at Listed class. It would be great for the owners if she could get black type as they'll breed from her in the future. She's on a roll and still improving hopefully. We're dropping back in trip but it's going to be soft and that'll bring her stamina into play so I think it'll suit.

Alan King, trainer of Her Indoors
She ended last season on an up note by finishing third in a Listed hurdle race at Cheltenham and she's schooled well over fences. Although she may be better over slightly further, she seems to be enjoying chasing and it looks to have sweetened her up so I hope she will run well.
