Quevega to seek sixth consecutive Mares’ Hurdle win

Quevega remains on course to bid for a historic sixth consecutive victory in the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle at Cheltenham after starring among 24 entries for the Grade Two contest.

The Willie Mullins-trained superstar is likely to be a red-hot favourite to raise the roof at Prestbury Park on the opening day of the Festival as although her unbeaten stable companion Annie Power has been entered, she is expected to line up in either the Champion Hurdle or the World Hurdle.

Mullins has also entered Glens Melody, with Jessica Harrington’s Cailin Annamh and Gordon Elliott’s Layla Joan other possible Irish challengers.
