The inaugural running of the David Nicholson Mares Hurdle, an extended two and a half mile hurdle on Friday, March 14 at Cheltenham, has attracted a strong entry of 31, including five from Ireland.

With five entered, Nicky Henderson has the most engaged at this stage and his team is headed by Chomba Womba, who has won her three starts since being bought for £160,000 at a sale at Cheltenham racecourse in April, having won five races in Ireland. Her most recent success came in a Grade Two mares' event at Doncaster, where she was stepping back from two and a half miles to an extended two miles. On that occasion, she was three quarters of a length too good for Alan King's staying-on Theatre Girl, while Annie’s Answer finished fourth.

Henderson's team also includes Amaretto Rose, a winner of four of her seven career starts who was pulled-up on her first run since finishing third in last year's Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices' Hurdle, while My Petra, Shatabdi and Doubly Guest complete his team. My Petra has been successfully campaigned over fences this season, following up a beginners' chase victory with a good second to The Irish Independent Arkle Chase favourite Noland.

David Pipe has entered tough performer Gaspara, who rattled off a quartet of wins last season, culminating in success in the Fred Winter Juvenile Novices' Handicap Hurdle at The Festival. She has yet to score this season, but has run some good races in defeat.

The Irish-trained quintet is headed by Michael Bowe's prolific winner Sweet Kiln and Eoin Griffin's Lounaos. The former's most recent of her nine wins came at Leopardstown in the Grade Two Christmas Hurdle, while Lounaos was a winner at Limerick on Boxing Day before finishing fourth in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown for the second year in a row.

The challenging team is completed by Eric McNamara's Chicago Vic, Pat Fahy's My Valley and John Mulhern's Pistol Flash.

Others of note from home are Emma Lavelle's Labelthou and Jonjo O'Neill's pair of Refinement and En La Cruz, while Philip Hobbs has entered Missis Potts.
