'He bolted up that day and we're excited about stepping him up in trip'

Harry Fry says he has a "spring in the step" this season – and with good reason given the talented young horses at his disposal.

Fry's team, which he runs alongside wife and assistant trainer Ciara, is headlined by Cheltenham Festival winner Love Envoi, whose main target will be the Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle back at Prestbury Park.

The trainer, who heads into his third campaign training from a state-of-the-art facility in Dorset, feels he has his strongest ever team of novices, joined by progressive second-season hurdlers and chasers.
