LET'S SHOW JUST WHAT LU' CAN DO AT SANDOWN

JERRY MCGRATH sourced Lulamba from France and he believes the exciting chasing prospect has all the right attributes to make his Grade One mark over the larger obstacles when he tackles today’s Betfair Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown.

Once a key member of Nicky Henderson's engine room as a jockey, the Irishman has remained a vital cog in the Seven Barrows operation in his role as bloodstock agent, responsible for bringing a host of elite talent back to the yard. One of those is Lulamba, who after a surefooted chasing debut at Exeter, will attempt to add to his top-level success over hurdles in this first major test over fences. Despite the view he could prove even better over further in time, McGrath is confident the strapping four-year-old can add his name to a roll of honour that includes Henderson greats in Sprinter Sacre, Altior and Jonbon.
