FormscanBy Michael Graham - THREE STRIPE LIFE is hard to get away from on hurdling debut. This Leading Light gelding was a wide-margin winner of his bumper at Navan in January and then came home fourth in the Grade One Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. That contest has thrown up an absolute stack of subsequent winners. Largy Debut's homework was the subject of favourable reports from Henry de Bromhead in a recent stable tour. He won his point-to-point by 13 lengths for Stuart Crawford before finishing third in a Navan bumper in March last year, after travelling notably well. He is a big player on his first start for de Bromhead. Sevenna Star kept on well for third in a qualified riders' maiden hurdle at Sligo. He should be in the mix for a cheque. Three Stripe Life's stablemate Monkstreet isn't out of it.
