Love Envoi ready for Fighting Fifth reappearance
Harry Fry’s admirable mare is set to face Constitution Hill at Newcastle.
Harry Fry has confirmed that Love Envoi will tackle Constitution Hill in the BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on Saturday. A winner of eight of her 11 races under rules, she has been a credit to her connections for the past two seasons. As a novice, Love Envoi won the Dawn Run Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle and last season she went out on her sword when taking on Honeysuckle in the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle, finishing a gallant runner-up. While she faces a tall order on her return to action against the best hurdler in training, Fry feels it is the perfect place to get her started. Conditions are currently cold in the North East but precautions have already been taken, with the track under cover.Frost prtection is being deployed today ahead of Saturdays @BetMGMUK Fighting Fifth Hurdle. A huge thank you to our grounds team for all of their amazing work and efforts in preparing and maintaining the track ahead of racing. pic.twitter.com/fIYvANASGY
