Murphy spells out Passion fears

TIMMY MURPHY believes Irish raider Wild Passion will be the main threat to his mount Marcel in today's ladbrokes.com Tolworth Hurdle.

Marcel has won eight races for trainer Martin Pipe since switching from France, but he tasted defeat when only second to Astronomic at Haydock last month.

Pipe’s five-year-old has since bounced back with a Grade Two win at Windsor, but he will clash with his Howard Johnson-trained conqueror again at Sandown.
