Gaspara leaped to the head of the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle market with Stan James and is 4/1 from double those odds with the firm to prevail in Tuesday's Cheltenham finale.

The move came after the Martin Pipe-owned, David Pipe-trained filly completed a hat-trick in the Sunderland Imperial Cup at Sandown.

Neil Morrice, media and on-course representatibe for Stan James, said: "It was just like old times at Sandown as Martin Pipe brought his winner back to unsaddle with Tony McCoy on her back.

"Connections seem torn between the Fred Winter and the Ballymore Properties Hurdle at this stage and we also took action in the last-named race, cutting Gaspara to 16/1 from 33s which is the top price on offer at the moment."

Sky Bet were even more impressed and go 10/3 for the Fred Winter.
