FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Dual course and distance winner TEAHUPOO is taken to account for Cheltenham hero Jeff Kidder. Rated 138 the selection ought to be able to concede 3Ibs to Jeff Kidder, assessed as a 130 performer. Of course Teahupoo will be encountering different underfoot conditions this time. He’s unbeaten though in three outings to date, including on debut in France in October 2020, and he’s entitled to the benefit of the doubt as he looks exciting. Jeff Kidder sprung an 80/1 surprise in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle. No such fancy odds will be available this time and don’t rule him out progressing further, even upped to Grade Two level. Several others have prospects of at least reaching the frame.
