Connections of Vroum Vroum Mag are hopeful she can take a step up in trip in her stride when making her eagerly-awaited first start in Britain in the OLBG.com Mares’ Hurdle at Ascot.

The seven-year-old will race beyond two and three-quarter miles for the first when tackling the Grade Two prize over an extended two-mile-seven-furlongs as she bids to make it eight straight victories since joining Willie Mullins.
