'She keeps me up at night' - owner hoping Luccia can follow Constitution Hill

The owner of Luccia is daring to dream the exciting hurdler can follow in the hoofprints of exceptional stablemate Constitution Hill in Saturday's Unibet Tolworth Novices' Hurdle (2.25) at Sandown.

Trained by Nicky Henderson, Constitution Hill tore away from his Tolworth rivals 12 months ago before a mesmerising display in the Supreme, for which Luccia can be backed at 25-1.

She is, however, as short as 5-2 for the Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, although owner Paul Sandy, who bred the five-year-old out of his smart mare Earth Amber, seems open to the idea of running his pride and joy in the Sky Bet-backed festival opener should she impress this weekend.
