Scu in Crus control for Cheltenham
No stone will be left unturned in Grands Crus’ preparation for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham.
The grey has been a revelation this season and is as low as 9-4 to thwart Big Buck’s in his bid for three successive wins in the staying championship – and big-race jockey Tom Scudamore can hardly wait for March 17.
“I’ve been thinking about it every day, it was a very good performance and he’s a progressive horse who has improved all the way through the season,” said Scudamore of his win in the Cleeve Hurdle.
“It’s great to have a horse with a genuine chance in a championship race. That proved he was the second best staying hurdler in training – let’s hope he proves he’s the best on the Thursday at Cheltenham.
“As always before Cheltenham I’ll have a sit down with David at Pond House and Martin Pipe as well and we’ll come up with plans A, B and C and watch all the videos of previous races.”
