Maguire has grounds for Wave of optimism

ADRIAN MAGUIRE is looking forward to saddling stable star Celestial Wave in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle on Thursday week.

The mare will arrive at Prestbury Park seeking a four-timer after battling to a Graded-race hat-trick when scoring in bottomless ground at Gowran Park in January.

And with the prospect of a soft-ground Cheltenham Festival increasing with every millimetre of rain hitting the Gloucestershire turf, Maguire feels his charge can play a major role next week.
