Willie Mullins, meanwhile, has Onlyamatteroftime off bottom weight, carrying 10st 3lb on his first start for the yard. Luccia, twice a Listed winner in the early part of her hurdles career last term but denied here when only fourth in the Jack de Bromhead Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle in March, was second to the winner of that Festival race, You Wear It Well, in her recent Wetherby comeback and could be a player under James Bowen. Iberico Lord is 6lb higher now and has potential to do better. The five-year-old broke his duck over timber at Stratford in April and was then second in the Novices’ Championship Final Handicap Hurdle at Sandown on the final day of the season behind Seven Barrows stablemate Under Control. Nicky Henderson is doubly represented in this contest, with the first of his runners Iberico Lord, the mount of Nico de Boinville in the JP McManus silks. Henderson and Mullins contenders in the mix
