Every yard needs a flagbearer and Silver Streak, who finished third to the ill-fated Espoir D’Allen in the Champion Hurdle in March, has fitted neatly into that bracket and the aptly named grey has already got off the mark for this season, winning comfortably in a well-contested conditions hurdle at Kempton this month.
