Pretty Little Liar has rivals in a spin

After being runner-up on her last three starts in similar contests, Pretty Little Liar (11/4) made no mistake with a facile success in the second split of the 80-95 rated handicap hurdle.
The 8-year-old mare tracked the leaders under 5lb claimer Jordan Gainford before hitting the front travelling powerfully before the second-last flight of hurdles.
From that point she careered away to slam 7/4 favourite Inforapenny by ten lengths.
It’s been a productive year for the daughter of Excellent Art after Flat victories at Dundalk in March and Bellewstown in July.
Locally-based winning trainer David Dunne said: “She’s run a lot over the last six weeks but every time she’s come bouncing out of the race and she’s a good ground horse.
“She travelled nicely today and she’s unbelievable to jump. I might go for a beginners’ chase for horses rated below 102 but if the rain comes she’ll be getting a rest.
“Most of the owners (Pretty Boys Syndicate) are here so it’s great.”
