Some good ones to look for.
Strong Leader - 1:02 Uttoxeter, 11/8 atm - blew the field apart in a few strides on his debut bumper at Warwick and then came from way back to finish strongly at Cheltenham three weeks ago, although he couldn’t catch the Irish raider (who must be good). Should see off this lot with ease if he can handle the jumping on his hurdle debut.
Luccia - 4:05 Cheltenham, 15/8 atm - is really highly thought of by Henderson and she should take this, although it’s probably just a final bumper prelude to her hurdle debut. She is opposed by Queen’s Gamble who is also highly regarded.
“ I think she's special and she showed that with a mesmerising display at Sandown, but she has a habit of locking her stifle and we nearly lost her one day in the spring. We've got to keep our fingers crossed but she seems to have made a full recovery, so can hopefully take high rank over hurdles. She's grown two inches and looks fantastic, while her schooling has been superb, so she could be anything.”
Tommy’s Oscar - 1:45 Cheltenham, 7/4 atm - improved by leaps and bounds as a hurdler last season and his debut chase with one opponent did little more than show he can jump fences. This one is a much better test, although it’s a shame Monmiral has withdrawn.
One other I’m interested in watching is Wiseguy - 3:30 Cheltenham - on his return from injury.
On the fun side I think Mister Fisher has his conditions to run well in the Paddy Power, so EW to five places and 16/1 has its attractions.
