'I think he's very good and he's my strongest fancy of the weekend'

I'd like to think I am one of the founding members of the Authorised Speed fan club. He was my idea of the Unibet Tolworth Novices' Hurdle (2.25) winner at the start of the season and I'm not going to chicken out now that he has got to the race on the back of two pretty impressive wins. I think he's very good and he's my strongest fancy of the weekend.

Although Luccia doesn't run following a dirty scope, it still promises to be a cracking contest. Authorised Speed and Tahmuras are the top two in the market, and the presence of the Henry de Bromhead-trained Arctic Bresil adds extra spice to the race.

While there are other nice horses involved, the likelihood is that the winner will come from the top three in the betting.
