Martello Sky features among 33 entries for the Grade Two Parnell Properties Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Thursday 18th March) at The Festival™ supporting WellChild, entries for which are also revealed today.

The five-year-old has won both her starts over hurdles, latterly scoring at Market Rasen on Sunday (February 21st).

Her trainer, Newmarket-based Lucy Wadham, revealed:

“She has run pretty well everywhere she has run. We have not got to decide today whether she goes to Cheltenham but if you don’t have the entry you can’t run and I felt she earned her entry after Market Rasen on Sunday. We could have done with a stronger pace, which she is almost certain to get at Cheltenham, on Sunday at Market Rasen but she still managed to win. I think her form is very good as Allavina who she beat over hurdles first time out won at Taunton on Tuesday. She ran well on her previous visit to Cheltenham in a Listed bumper. It rained all afternoon and she didn’t disgrace herself in the conditions. We will definitely have a close look at the race but it’s too early to say if we will go.

“The race had been on the back of the mind but you rarely get a horse good enough for Cheltenham. We were going to try and get her qualified for the Grade Two mares’ novice at Newbury but she would need another run to qualify and that is over two miles five and I don’t think she needs that yet. We’ve always liked her and she comes from a fantastic family that I’ve done well with in the past.”

Wadham has also made an entry for Potters Hedger, in the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle.

She concluded: “He is qualified for the final but I’m not sure if he will get in as I imagine he would be near the bottom of the weights. I know that the owners would like to run him there so we will definitely keep an eye on it.

“He got a bit stuck in the ground at Haydock on Saturday as it was very holding, whereas the time before it when he won there it was wet, soft ground. He ran well at Lingfield first time out and lots of winners have come out of that race. He went to Sandown afterwards but I don’t think he likes it there as in those three mile races they have to come up the hill twice and it was quite attritional. He doesn’t need the ground bottomless as he won his maiden on good ground at Huntingdon so he is versatile in that regard.”
