Dobbs banks on girl power at Ascot

PRUNELLA Dobbs is confident a step up to three miles will not prove a problem for Our Girl Salley in the 1942 Was A Vintage Year Mares’ Hurdle at Ascot today.

The Irish raider was an impressive winner of a Grade Three prize at Leopardstown on her latest appearance and is now set for her first start on British soil.

Dobbs admits her charge has plenty on her plate conceding weight to each of her six opponents, but remains confident of a big run.
