Dobbs banking on Girl power to break Cheltenham duck

PRUNELLA DOBBS has had no luck at the Cheltenham Festival – but that has not deterred her from having another go.

The Wicklow-based handler, who barely has more than 10 horses in training at a time, sends Our Girl Salley across the Irish Sea for the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle, run this year as the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle.

A year ago, the horse was all set to run in the same race, only to scope badly a week before the Festival.
