PEAKY BOY was evidently well-regarded in bumpers and, again well backed, marked himself down as a potentially useful hurdler when running out a comfortable winner of a C&D novice on return/debut for Nicky Henderson on New Year's Day. Defeating a dual subsequent winner then, he looks sure to progress further and earns the vote. The pick of Irish raider Encanto Bruno's form gives him claims and he's feared, with Myretown and Shy Love a couple of others to consider.
