Graham Wylie admits his Ladbrokes World Hurdle hope Tidal Bay has a long way to go before he can emulate former stablemate Inglis Drever.

The latter won the staying title three times and Tidal Bay made a successful return to timber in the Cleeve Hurdle.

His owner told At The Races: "I don't think he's as good or as tough (as Inglis Drever) but if he's not there he can't win so we'll go and have a try."

Strong squad

As well as Tidal Bay, Graham Wylie's colours will be carried on several smart prospects at Cheltenham.

He said: "Door Boy should have a chance in the Jewson, while we thought we might as well let On His Own take his chance in the Champion Bumper.

"Lennon is on a nice weight in the Grand Annual and Arcalis will go for the County Hurdle. Scriptwriter will go for the Coral Cup if he gets in."
