We originally planned to run All The Glory one more time at a northern track to ensure her qualification for the Go North Lady Buttons Mares’ Hurdle Series Final at Musselburgh next month.

However, having double-checked the qualifying criteria, we realised her run at Haydock back in May counted as one of the three runs she needed.

That was good news, as she has had a busy time of it lately, so it now means that rather than running at Kelso this Friday, we can freshen her up at home. She goes well fresh, and with the final – worth £30,000 – being on March 21st, we have time on our side now and we can see her going there with a good chance.

Her victory at Southwell last month meant she also qualified for the Challenger Mares’ Hurdle Series Final at Cheltenham on April 17th. This is a £50,000 race and the gap between Musselburgh and Cheltenham is long enough that we can target both races.

These are exciting plans for her, so we’ll keep you posted of her progress.
