Paul Nicholls says he's excited by the prospect of seeing Laurina in action for her stable debut with the Coral Hurdle at Ascot the target.
Previously trained by Willie Mullins, Laurina was moved by owner Jared Sullivan to Nicholls' yard over the summer and she is now on course to feature in Saturday's Grade Two contest at Ascot.
Nicholls has been pleased with what he has seen from the former Cheltenham Festival winner so far and is excited to see Laurina in action in a six-horse field this weekend.
“I'm looking forward to running Laurina. She has been a bit of a challenge, but she appears in good shape,” Nicholls said.
“We've got to start her off somewhere, and it's a nice little starting point. She doesn't get any penalties and gets a mares' allowance. She could be quite interesting.”
