Up in trip works the oracle for Lost Features

Lost Features came home well over the extended three miles in the Eventsec Handicap Hurdle at Down Royal.

The 33/1 outsider raced towards the rear for Philip Donovan and made headway before three out. She got on terms two out and soon led before staying on well to win by three-quarters of a length over Juke Box Rock (11/1). Drumconnor Hill (28/1) and Head For Home (8/1 - 11/2) came home third and fourth respectively.

Darren Collins said: "She was a keeping-on third in Tramore over a shorter trip and then she missed a bit (of work) after that. She was just a bit stiff and sore after it.

"We were coming here thinking we were a little bit short as she missed a week. Maybe freshened her up well and three miles today.

"It does (give options) - she is low-graded, but she has a good heart and she tries for you.

"She's a bit small as well so the light weight was a help today over three miles.

"She will be running up until the ground goes. If there is nothing in the next few weeks, we will probably let her off until next summer again."
