'He has a bright future' - Tom Collins opts for unexposed hurdler at Aintree

Mackelduff
4.10 Aintree
1pt win at 5-1

Olly Murphy has a handful of promising handicap hurdlers in his Wilmcote stable this season and Mackelduff wouldn't be far off the best despite the fact he's just won a Southwell maiden hurdle so far in his career.

The five-year-old son of excellent jumps sire Martaline shook off five rivals with an eyecatching burst of speed in between the final two hurdles that day and could have won by double the winning margin of 11 lengths if he was asked for maximum effort.
