Soldier Of Fortune Mare Relishes Step Up In Trip

A step up in trip saw Fortunefavorsdbold (5m Soldier Of Fortune - Consuelita, by Singspiel) get off the mark in Sunday’s maiden hurdle at Limerick.

Runner-up on her sole start between the flags for MJ Berry, the daughter of Soldier Of Fortune was last seen finishing third at Clonmel and stepped up to three miles at the weekend. Racing prominently under Sean Flanagan, Paul Nolan’s representative led from two out and was ridden out on the run-in to score by half a length.

Fortunefavorsdbold is owned by Lynne Maclennan and was bred by Richard Busher.
