PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
WONDERWALL could have his final preparation for the defence of his Cheltenham Foxhunters crown. The ten-year-old is unbeaten in four starts since joining Sam Curling, including in his return to action at Dromahane in November, but he could face a decent test here with Asian Master a notable addition to his division. Fourth in the 2024 Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, he was last seen running in a Grade 3 Novice Chase at Cork in November, and has to be respected, whilst Magic Sadler won three consecutive opens during the autumn term.
