Glens Melody bids for her second Listed success at Warwick when she returns to the track to line up for the OLBG Mares' Hurdle.

Willie Mullins' raider, a prolific winner having scored nine times in 13 races, won a similar event over two miles three furlongs last month and her trainer is confident the extra two furlongs of this race will not be an issue.

"She's a course winner and I've left David Casey on her. He got on well with her at Warwick," said the County Carlow trainer, whose charge beat Mischievous Milly by three-quarters of a length last time.

"We are hoping Warwick can beat the weather. The trip won't be any harm to her. She's won over slightly further so I'm not worried about the trip and I'm happy enough."

Alan King is happy to let L'Unique take her chance after being satisfied she has got over her recent setback.

"L'Unique had a slight hold-up last week when she missed a couple of days of exercise due to a stone bruise, but she worked on Tuesday and we are happy to bring her back," he said.

The five-year-old was a Grade One winner at Aintree in April, but has yet to hit form in two races so far this term.
