Listentoyourheart should prove tough to beat in the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury on Thursday.

The five-year-old made a winning start over obstacles at Market Rasen at the end of September, beating Raincloud by a commanding 21-length margin.

Jumped impressively on that debut outing, and as a result, she is clear on ratings in this small field.

Listentoyourheart mixed it with the very best throughout last season in bumpers, including when fifth of 16 in the G2 National Hunt Flat Race at the Grand National Festival.

She’s the most exciting runner in this race, and still presents the value at the odds available.
